Hi,
I am posting this for my friend. She has a 6 month old male kitten who is not eating. He has a VERY healthy appetite and 2 days ago he had diarrhea and since last night he has been picking his food. She has tried feeding him several times and offered different foods but he wont eat it. The most he has eaten is 2 chunks of the food. He is not drinking much either and he is usually always drinking and then going to his litter tray to do his buisness. But she hasn't noticed him using his litter tray today either. He seems tired and does not have any other symptoms apart from these. She checked him tummy while he was sitting up and he suddenly layed down like he didn't want her to check it. She also checked his ears and he put one of his ears flat against his head. He's also acting grumpy and has been growling at the dogs. He loves the dogs so we dont know what is wrong with him. Please help.
How long can he go without food? He usually eats and drinks everything in sight. What could be wrong with him? He has not had diarrhea since 2 days ago. Should she take him to the vet? She's very worried about him.
Thanks
