This is my first post but I come to this website a lot for help. My kitten has been on and off sick for a few weeks now. Everytime we are about to bring her to the vet, she gets better then gets sick again. We found out she had worms, and got rid of those. But now she doesn't eat much or drink much. She sleeps a lot and doesn't have much interest, if any, in playing. I've also noticed that when she goes pee, she sits for about a minute only to leave about a nickel sized amount of urine. She did have bad diarrhea a few days ago but that seems to have stopped. Any suggestions on what is wrong with her? I really love her to death and don't want to see anything bad happen to her. Thanks!

If she doenst drink much, she may even be somewhat dehydrated. This could partly explaing this little pee...
Entice her to dring. Have several drinking places. Have perhaps some cream or tuna water in the drinking water...
A water fountain is useful for many cats who dont like to drink enough.
Goat milk is never wrong. I cant promise it will help, but you never know. Fresh if you can get it, otherwise bottled.
If necessary, consider to forcefeed her. Make sure you know how to do it...
Good luck! @crissy123

If she doesn't have much energy she is not well and whether she seems better in other ways or not I think it is best to take her to the vet. If her breathing is fast I think you should take her to a vet as soon as you can. With her pee, it might be that she has been dehydrated or it could be an issue with bladder, kidney or liver and the sooner she is seen the better.
Good luck, I hope it is just something like dehydration but with signs like this it is wise not to take any chances.

ps.
This IS of course a clearly vet errand. I got the impression she has already been to the vet several times - perhaps faulty impression and TS meant they were just planning about it from time to time...
If TS hasnt yet been to the vet, this is the first thing to do.
My advices may to what to try to do at home may be made parallelly. They shall of course NOT be done instead of going to a good vet.
