My 7-week-old kitten won't eat and has crusty eyes. What's wrong?

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.

Tuxi could have an eye infection causing the watery eyes, but it's most serious that she stopped eating. When a kitten doesn't eat, over time they will develop a fatty liver that is fatal without treatment. You need to take her into a vet immediately.

It's now a medical emergency that Bunty hasn't eaten in 18 hours. If she goes much longer without eating, she will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. She is quite sick and cannot be treated at home. Please take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck.

It sounds like Akira may be sick, and it is very serious when a cat won't eat. If they go long enough without eating (around 72 hours), they will develop a fatty liver. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment, so you want to avoid this. Have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning.

Your kitten needs to be seen by a vet immediately. Cats cannot go without eating for more than a few days without suffering liver damage. Your kitten is likely very dehydrated and weak and will need supportive care to help him survive. Right now, make sure he stays warm and mix some honey or corn syrup with warm water and very carefully use a syringe or dropper to get him to swallow some of this to help rehydrate him and give him some calories. Be very careful because it is easy to choke him when he is this weak.

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!
