Hello,

My little kitten is sick, he wants to eat but he can t .He only drinks water and sometimes milk,i gave him medicin but i have seen no doctor because in my city is no veterinary. I tried to give him real food like fish or meat but he only lickes them and then turn around and leave , he lost weight .What can i do to meke him better ?I don t want to see him suffer, he is very dear to me  and he is part of my family (.I apologise for my bad engish i m not from USA.)

How old is your kitten?  How long have you had him?  Can you post a photo?

He cannot digest cow milk.  Goat could be ok.  You likely need to be force feeding him with a needleless syringe at this point.

How old is he? Is he old enough to eat on his own? If he's tiny he may need formula or special kitten food for tiny babies who are weaning.

My kitten has 7 months and it s the first time he gets sick.I tried to give him once cat food but he didn t like it, he only eats what i eat  and he used to eat a lot of food .I ve  picked his mother off the streets and i took care of her but she is always sick  (her nose is running all the time but the eats a lot) Maybe that s one of the reasons he is sick too?

Your kitten needs to go to the vet. A cat this age should be eating a lot. Some human food is poisonous to cats, like onions and garlic and that is not nutritionally complete.

None of these are cat food and he is missing nutrients like taurine in his diet. He has to go to a vet.

Is there a vet in another city nearby, or could you place a call to a vet if going is not an option? Also, have you tried actual cat food?
