Hi, My vets have been attempting to solve a mystery with my 9 month old kitten. Initially started with other symptoms, throwing up and constipation, but the most serious stuff started when I tried to feed him and he jumped back from the food. The kitten wants to eat, he is clearly hungry and eager to, but when I set the food down he tries to pick it up off the plate and then jumps back as though he has been hit by a sharp pain. Then he gives up. He also has been throwing up and eventually was running a very high fever 104.9. His fever persists and he is hospitalized. We finally got him to eat some baby food this afternoon.
Since anecdotal evidence often helps has anyone ever seen anything like this??? Any clues at all. Sounds like Mouth problems are relatively rare, especially in a young cat. Thanks. Reba
