My kitten has diarrhea, is sick, and hasn't eaten. Is it an emergency?

Since your kitten has not eaten in three days, this is an emergency now. It is likely very dehydrated as well. Please take Muezza to an out of hours veterinary service NOW. If you do not know where you can find such a service, please ring your veterinary practice and there will be emergency information on the answering machine.

Poor kitten! I think you're in the right for trying to get in sooner to have her checked out by your vet. If she is bleeding a lot or is having severe diarrhea or vomiting, then seeking out care from another vet or even an emergency clinic may be a good idea. Keeping her bottom clean and dry can help, and feeding a bland meal of some boiled chicken may help as well until you can be seen.

This is a medical emergency, and Bonney needs to see a vet now. She sounds quite sick, and it's actually extremely serious when a cat stops eating. They will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment if they do not eat for a couple of days. That must be prevented, and the only way to get the needed treatment for her is through a vet. You cannot treat this at home. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

This is a medical emergency, and Blacky has to see a vet now. If a kitten goes longer than 72 hours without eating, they will develop a fatty liver, which is fatal without treatment. Leaving her like this is cruel, and you need to find a way to afford a vet. Borrow money from family and friends. See if your vet accepts payment plans. You cannot treat this at home, please take her into a vet right away.

Poor Snow! If he has no energy and can't even stand up, this is a very serious problem - he needs to see an emergency vet immediately. This would not be caused by withholding food for 10 hours; severe lethargy or weakness like this is generally a sign of a serious illness such as feline panleukopenia. Your vet can do some diagnostic testing to help determine what's wrong and get him started on appropriate treatment. I would recommend taking him to see the vet right now, as this may be a life-threatening problem.

That's concerning! Refusing to eat is often a sign of illness, and without seeing Squid in person, I can't say for sure what is going on. I can also say it can be really serious when a kitten won't eat, as if they go long enough without eating (about 72 hours), they will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. I'd take him into the vet first thing to take for a health check. I hope this helps!

Oh no, poor cats. They have to see a vet immediately. It's very serious they haven't eaten in 24 hours. If cats go long enough without eating, they will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. Please take them into a vet now.
