We just took in three rescues a few days ago, the kitten pictured is Skittles and her two sisters, who are both black kittens, are Twix and Kit Kat. When we first brought them in we needed to flea bathe them because they had fleas crawling all over them and the insides of their ears are covered in dirt which means they have ear mites we are treating with medicine as well. I also gave them all a dose of roundworm medicine. Their sister, who we did not take in but actually found a home, was tested negative for FIV/FELV.
I’m concerned about Skittles. Her other two sisters are very outgoing and playful, they have a lot of energy and spunk and are very lovable. Skittles is shy but is warming up to us, but we’ve noticed that she doesn’t have nearly as much energy as her siblings. She barely plays with the laser pointer and for the most part she just sleeps. She is eating and drinking fine, haven’t seen her use the litter box but we keep our rescues in a separate room so she might use it when we aren’t in there.
She doesn’t seem to be sneezing or anything, her temperature was 103.2 though which is higher than it should be. She just seems a bit out of it, like when you are sick and you’re super drowsy with very little energy. She was dumped along with her four siblings and her mom on someone’s property, and they were able to rescue the kittens but not the mom because she was scared. She’s been moved around a lot in the last few days so I don’t know if she’s just scared or if she’s sick... I’m worried about her.
