Two weeks ago I found 4 feral kittens who appeared to be about 4 weeks old. I took them in and have been socializing and caring for them for the past 2 weeks. Two of the kittens were pretty big, and two were a ton smaller.
All kittens have grown a bit in the 2 weeks except one of the little ones. He is now a ton smaller than the kitten who used to be the same size as him. I have not weighed them or anything, but I really do not think he has grown at all. They all went to the vet on Tuesday, got FeLV/FIV tested and received their first set of vaccines. I was not told by the vet or tech in charge of the rescue that any of them appeared sick. I did call the rescue and stated my concern about him but have not received a call back yet. He is now only slightly larger than the 3 week old I am fostering!! He is still eating well and seems to have energy.
Any ideas why he isn't growing? What can I do to help him? I am so worried...he has been my favorite of the 4 (ok, I tend to like the runts the best!) and I do not want to lose him.
Hopefully I hear back from the rescue soon.
