help sick kitty

my kitten is 6 months old, he wont eat he got sick 3 times today,he has no energy and is very poor looking.this just happened today as i let him in for his dinner,i cant get to a vets til tuesday as everywhere is closed for the bankholiday weekend what should i do.

I am sorry your kit isn't doing so well.....

First are there any 24 hr. emergency vets in your area...if you are not sure, you may be able to find one in the phonebook, or online........

Second does your kitten have fleas, it sounds like you kit might have flea anemia, though I can't be sure without looking at her......

Try to force feed food and water...using a needleless syringe or something like that..like an eye dropper, keep your kit warm and such....

And please please try to get emergency care....alsoif you try calling your office, some vets will leave their private number of the message service for any emergencies like this.....

In either case this kit needs to see a vet...Iwill be praying he gets better.....

He could have picked up any sort of disease if you let him outside. Is he vaccinated and neutered? I really really hope he is if you are letting him out.
Please keep him in for now at least until you figure out what is wrong. I know kittens can dehydrate in the matter of a day without enough water. If you don't feed canned food, then get some and try to give it to him now. The smelly stuff might attract him to it. Add some water to it as well so it is runny. Hopefully you won't have to force feed him. Try to call around for an emergency vet,

I agree re calling an emergency vet..if you cat has been outside, you have no idea of what he's gotten into, and he may have eaten something poisonous.

Unless your cat has an apparent & chronic case of fleas, I would not be so worried about flea bite anemia. The thing is that really, none of us on this side of the screen can know what is happening. Your cat needs a hands-on exam by a vet in your area.

Please keep us posted on what happens? I hope it is just a minor tummy upset, but don't gamble that that is what it is, if he were my kitty, I would get him seen.

Call the Animal medical center emergency room in NYC and explain your situation and the cat's symptoms and ask for advice, they will likely try and give you some. 212-838-8100. Good luck.
