First, sorry for long cap title and my bad English. but I will try my best to explain my situation.
My cat Florence(2 years old) is in a very good health he eats well drinks well.
4 weeks ago I decided to adopt a kitten(2 months old)
I brought him home. separated their room for a week
they were introduced slowly
they had small fights in the beginning and some other fights from time to time
my older cat seemed like he didn't like the new kitten(he didn't like all the kittens I hosted for a temporary time before too)
but I thought he may get adjusted this time
after three weeks from bringing the new kitten:
he became very lethargic, lost appetite.
I went to the vet he said his temp is normal, he ran a blood test and said it's all fine
and he said that he looked just fine to him
so I thought he was maybe just stressed out from the new kitten
after three days from all that he returned to his old self. started to eat and drink well without any problem
now after another week, he returned to being lethargic and he lost appetite again.
I don't know if it's because of the new kitten? is he stressed out because of him?
should I give my kitten to someone else now?
I currently feed him by feeding syringe to provide his body with food and keep him hydrated, he actually became well the first time he became lethargic after I did that. but I don't want to keep going through this situation forever!!
PLEASE HELP!
I'm so worried I don't know what to do!
