We have 5 little ones currently staying at our house...(see ~**Kittens**~ thread)
I am worried about Ben. Friday night he was an active little kitten and very playful. Saturday morning he refused to eat his breakfast and then we took them to the vets for their first shots and worming. We came home, he ate really well and then didn't eat dinner last night. He wouldn't even come out of the carrier last night, (we have an ex-pen set up with a doorless cat carrier that they can go in, toys, cat box etc.) and he is usually one of the first ones to come up to the gate. I got a syringe and gave him some goats milk and he seemed to perk up a little but still wasn't moving around a whole lot. We were afraid he wasn't going to make it through the night last night... :(
This morning he got up and ate breakfast really well and when then at lunch time he wouldn't eat, the rest of the kittens act like they're starving by then! I was holding him and he makes no effort to move around and I put him down and he just sits there :( I don't know whats going on with him, should I continue to force him to eat, we will probably need to take him back to the vet, is there anything I could do for him in the meantime?
