Hi
Last friday I got a kitten from an ad in the newspaper and it had an
irritated eye and I took it to the vet on saturday morning, well he said
that the kitten was really under weight and he gave her a dewormer, he also
said that her eye was only irritated and that it would get better, he asked
if she played like a normal kitten and i said yes since she seemed fairly
playful. Well she is not the least bit playful and only seems to be eating
and sleeping, with the ocassional roaming of the house. She only weighs 1.3
pounds and the vet said he thinks she is only 2 months old. I was wondering
if the reason she is always sleeping is due to the fact that she is so thin
and has to build up energy. I plan to take her to the vet to get her first
set of shot friday or saturday so i'll ask the vet then but I was wondering
if it was normal. She's free to roam the house with our other cat except at
night when we confine her to the bathroom.
SO I was wondering if it was fairly normal for a kitten to be sleeping all
the time and not the least bit playful I mean all the kittens I have ever
had were playful, never like this.
Also I was wondering which was better dry or canned food, right now I'm am
giving her canned authority kitten food during the day and dry kitten food
by authority at night, since she is so tiny she seems to like the canned
better I figured it will help put weight on her more then the dry since she
doens't eat that much of it.
Thanks
