Hello everyone!
I am very new to this site and a first time cat owner. I have a 5 month old kitten who was spayed 3 weeks ago. She has had a few problems such as constipation and lethargy, She has no energy at all but eats. I have taken her to the vet who stated that her incision site looks great but he was not sure whether she would survive. He said she has a 50% chance of getting better as she has lost almost a pound in a few weeks. He said the only thing he would recommend is for me to give her Nutri-Cal and she if that helps her. I have been giving her 1 inch of Nutri-Cal 3 times a day for the past 4 days. She eats canned food and she eats it pretty well. I have also given her treats and pedialyte which he recommended. But even though she eats well she does not seem to have very much energy. She spends most of the time sleeping of laying down in a meatloaf position and once in awhile looks a little active but will not play. I would just like to know if this is how long it should be taking to help her because I have read positive reviews about Nutri-Cal from other people but I am not really seeing many results yet. And it also makes me wonder if it is even working? I would appreciate any feedback.
