Hi I'm new here, but I also have a question.
My family took in two orphaned kittens about three weeks ago and have been nursing them. One kitten is acting as it always has, but the other is acting a bit oddly.
He'll be energetic in the morning, running around and jumping for a short while, unlike his usual hours on end. Instead, the last two days he's been doing a lot of sitting or just finding somewhere to lay down and sleep. Normally he would follow me everywhere I go. Now he's just waiting for me to sit down and he gets on my shoulder and won't move. He'll still eat, but not as much as he usually does.
We did just start the weaning process a few days ago. Could this just be a reaction to that? There's no blood or runny stool, and he's still grooming himself. Purrs up a storm, doesn't cry when held or in general, except when he is hungry.
Its just the sudden drop in energy has us a bit worried and the closest vet isn't open on weekends. =3= Thank you in advance. =3
