I am fostering a kitten for a rescue, socializing her so that she can find her furever home.
I've had her for a week now, and haven't had any problems with getting her to eat or socializing her. But today, that changed.
I had to take her to the vet because she was sneezing and had goopy eyes. The vet diagnosed her with feline herpes, and gave her some medicine. We also started a second dose of medicine for coccidia, because she is still having diarrhea.
Since we got back from the vet, she has been hiding. I understood this, and gave her time to come out on her own.
However, she also has not even touched her food. She hasn't eaten anything all day. I got her to lick a little gravy off my finger (she is doing EXCEPTIONALLY well on the socializing aspect), but that's it.
I'm worried she is going to make herself sicker. Is there anything else I can try to coax her to eat and drink?
