Is my 6-month kitten sick? Not eating, lethargic, sleeping a lot.

It sounds like he is getting sick. Without additional clinical signs it is hard to say exactly what is causing his lethargy and decreased appetite but he could be starting with a respiratory virus or a gastrointestinal virus. He could also have parasites that need to be treated. If it continues than he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can run lab work to help diagnose and then determine the best way to treat. If he is unvaccinated, please discuss a vaccine plan with your vet once he has recovered from this illness.

I'm sorry Baxter isn't feeling well. I would recommend a vet visit to check for parasites or viral disease. If he hasn't been tested the vet may recommend testing for feline leukemia as well. If he's not eating well please get him to the vet first thing this week.

Absolutely. If she is ordinarily playful, normal kitten behavior, her lethargy may be a sign of illness or injury. Your vet will do an exam, probably labwork, possibly x-rays if indicated, and based on these results will be better able tot ell you what is wrong and how best to treat it.

I’m sorry to hear that Baggins isn’t feeling well. I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Blood work will likely be recommended to help establish a diagnosis. Kidney disease, liver disease, intestinal obstruction, are all possibilities. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

I'm sorry to hear Tonchi isn't feeling well. As you know her best, if you are concerned about her health and she is showing symptoms of illness, seeking veterinary care is always a good idea. A vet check up can help look for anything that may be causing her to be less active and not eat as much such as pain, illness, or injury. Be sure to let your vet know if you see any other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, etc that can help pinpoint a cause.

It sounds like poor Olive is sick. Anorexia and lethargy can be signs of many illnesses such as a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. It's actually quite serious when a cat isn't eating, and I would take her into the vet as soon as possible. The vet can diagnose the cause of her symptoms, and can treat her for it. Please take her into a vet. Best of luck.

Lethargy is a non specific sign and can be related to a variety of health problems. Given his young age could be quite concerning but at the same time he is eating fine and the body temperature is normal. Sometimes they can feel under the weather for a little trauma, because they feel pain somewhere, for a gastrointestinal problem (check for any vomiting or diarrhea). I would monitor Bruno for the next few hours but if he is not improving or any other symptom appears, I would suggest to bring him to the vet for an health check. Good luck! Do not hesitate to post again on the forum or request a consultation if you would like to discuss it any further.
