Hello, im a new user, as well as a new owner of a 9 week-old kitten, Shirou.
He was doing quite well the first couple of days i brought him back. he had a case of diarrhea, which didn't clear up. what's more is he started eating less and less. so i took him to the vet. vet gave me some meds for worms/parasite/sneezing; however, that did not get his appetite back up, and in the end i had to syringe feed him. the syringe feeding also broght on another problem, vomiting. he seems really nauseous after i syringe feed him. i took him back to the vet again, and the vet gave him some shots that'll hopefully calm his stomach. they also took xrays, which indicated there was nothing in his stomach at all.
i've tried all sorts of cat treats and food and he just kind of sniff at it...and backs away like he's afraid or something. he is quickly loosing weight, and i know that if he looses anymore, he could be in danger. so i am at a total loss at what to do, and in a state of total worry. i know i need to get him to eat, but he just vomits whatever goes in his stomach, is there any way to keep it down? or is there any other way of feeding him without having him feel nauseous?
