I;ll start by saying that we are going to the vet tomorrow with her, but I am hoping that I may get some peace of mind. I have a kitten that turned three months old today that I have been fostering since she was born in my care. She is part of a litter of 8 kittens and none are very large kittens at all (1.8 pounds for the runt and just hitting 2 pound to 2.6 pounds for the larger kittens). She personally weighs a very bony 1.9 pounds, she has been putting on weight in a manner that has been on point with the other girls in her litter until this past week when she has fallen behind. More than falling behind, she has become extremely bony for a kitten that has always been long and lanky to begin with. She has no other real symptoms (no fever, throwing up, loose stool, or anything else that is normal with kitten illnesses), but she does make a silent motion that looks like she is gagging every few minutes or will make a face that looks like she has to sneeze (both are hard to describe) but yet she never does and, like I said, has never thrown up.
She is still eating, drinking, and playing in an amount that has been normal for her (she is more of a low key/cuddly kitten but she still plays with things in my lap and with her sisters). My big concern is that it is FIP, but what could that gagging be? Or do you have any other thoughts of what it may be?
Thank you for helping a concerned mama!
