I got a kitten about three weeks ago she is now 6.5 weeks old. I bottle fed her and she has thrived. She went to the vet last week and they had to give her an enema for constipation. She is NOOOOO longer constipated and is off the bottle and eating wet food. Heres the problem... she won't drink water. the vet told me to give her liquid diet until she drinks but now she has no interest in water at all. please help.

Yes, the vet may have to hydrate her. You could look into getting a PetMate water fountain as well. They aren't very expensive and our cats drink far more water with the fountain. Also the water should be away from the food.

I aggree, my kitten is alittle younger and was the same way she will eat wet food but would not drink water. I started her with a bottle and slowly interested her to the dish and she picked up pretty fast.

Good Luck
