Hello everyone,
Onyx is a 4 to 5 month old kitten that my boyfriend literally found in the street. When we found him he was probably about 4 weeks old and had an upper respiratory infection and mites. The URI cleared up after a bout of antibiotics and he was fine. On Friday I noticed he was sleeping more than usual but didn't think anything of it. Saturday is when I noticed that he was pretty lethargic and disinterested in things when he is normally a psycho kitty. Today he is the same, sleeping all day and very low energy.
He is eating but his appetite is not as strong as it normally is. He isn't very interested in dry food but ate most of his wet food. Today he passed a bowel movement and he peed. He has not been fixed or vaccinated yet, but we had planned to do this soon. He is a strictly indoor cat and has been confined to our spare room for most of the time since my other cats aren't too happy about his presence.
We're going to take him to the vet tomorrow, but I'm a little worried since my google searches led me to FIP. I know nothing is for sure till we take him to the vet, but does anyone have ideas as to what could be the cause?
We lost our rescue kitten Karma a few weeks ago, so the thought of having to go through more vet drama and $$ is stressing me out.
