Thanks for the reply. He is 9 weeks old. I got him last week and I have the vet check-up booked next week. Should I take him to a vet immediately?Hard to tell in a photo.
How old is he? When did you get him? Has he been seen by a vet yet? If so was a fecal test done? Very possible he has some kind of parasite, which is relatively easy to knock out with medications. A cat doesn't necessarily show signs of being infected so it can be easy to miss.
Thanks for the advice. I spoke with the vet to see if I can move the appointment up and they said to monitor him tonight and if it persists give them a call tomorrow morning. If I see any huge changes in his behaviour or eggs in poo, I will go to an emergency. <3I personally feel it's a bit too long to wait. Ideally, any cat should be seen by their new vet within a few days of arriving at the new home. I know that due to the pandemic it's become more difficult to establish yourself with a vet and sometimes wait times for routine visits are pushed back somewhat.
As long as he's eating, drinking, using his box and is playful there's probably no emergency. However, if you see any worms in his poo, or he seems constipated or having loose stools I'd try for sooner.
Thanks! I will keep that in mind. That's very nice to know.You got good advices.
I just want to mention, if you can find and get raw goats milk, its almost always a good supplement.
Even if at this age milk is no longer necessary for kittens. But raw goats milk is healthsome, and has some potential soothing properties for sensitive belly problems.
