My kitten is very sick, wobbly, and not eating. What can I do?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Korat | Female | spayed | 6 months and 14 days old | 4 lbs

My kitten is still sick from the last time she went to the vet and when I asked them again, they said there is nothing we can do because its a viral infection. shes not eating, only drinking water occasionally, extremely lethargic, and seems dizzy. Her head is wobbly and she cant sit up without falling over. when she tries to walk she collapses. she had a high fever over 105. is there anything else i can do? what can i syringe feed her. I dont want to accept that there is no way to help her

This sounds really bad. Andromeda can be helped at the vet's. She can get IV fluids and medication to help with her symptoms. She is extremely ill and cannot be treated at home. I'd take her into another vet's office now.
