We adopted a cat who had kittens on our patio 4 weeks ago, after a short bout of fleas on days 3-6 ( dawn baths and flea comb) the kittens did wonderfully. Just this week they started eating mommy's food, they like the dry kitten food and the wet canned food and don't really care for the moistened dry food unless we mix the canned food into it. We also bought collars for them so it was easier to tell who was eating and who wasn't without seeing their belly spots.
Starting yesterday I noticed that our little girl seemed lethargic, she just wants to sit there... and this morning it is the same. Yesterday, when we fed them she came right out and ate and played a bit but then laid back down, this morning she didn't even want to eat. I am pretty sure she is still nursing ( they were all piled up nicely at mommy's tummy this morning).
Does anyone have some insight they could share with me? What should I be watching for, I know kittens can be really fragile and can take a turn for the worse quickly. Is there anything I should be doing right now?
