Hello, 10 days ago I have found the little kitten left alone outside my office, and decided to take it home. Of course firstly i have visited veterinary, he had fleas and no other visible problems, and was active growing kitten with slight diarrhea but since this Sunday (4-5 days ago) he stopped eating, dehydrated, lost weight and had low temperature (36,9C). With vets help giving him fluids, vitamins, electrolites he has got his appetite back, but temperature is still fluctuating between 37-38,7C, and he's becoming more and more passive and weak, and now he can barely move or lift his head, but still eats greatly. Local vets doesn't seem to know, what it could be with these strange syndromes (low temperature, diarrhea, increasing weakness, but no vomiting or anorexia). The food we give him is the best available (cat baby formulas, probiotics, gel with vitamins, daily visits at vets for extra vitamin and fluid doses) Please help if you have any idea, what the problem could be.

Hi and welcome to the site :wavey:

Sorry you are having these problems with your kitty.

Have the vets done any kind of blood tests for things like FIV/FeLV ? If not, I would recommend having full blood work done on your kitty, to rule these out.

Bless you for taking on this baby and putting forth excellent care for him! I have no advice aside from agreeing about having bloodwork done if it hasn't been done already. I really hope he pulls through, please keep us updated!

About how old is he?

Sadly, my extra cry for help was too late, little fighter lost the battle last night and passed away.
 He was about a 1 month old.

Thanks for suggestions and kind words.
