Both Luna and my RB Katz refused to drink water first, because they were not used to it (their previous owners gave them milkOriginally Posted by Lizzie
). I had to buy cat milk for them and mix it with water, later I added more water etc. etc. until they finally accepted pure water. Wasn't easy!

Mom called the vet!!!
She said, if he just started this this morning, and we just started giving him cat milk. She's sure that thats the problem. She said to not give him milk OR cat milk and said that neither is good no matter what the lables say. She said just like humans, lying near the litter box is common. And just lik humans, when they're feeling yucky they feel sluggish. She said it takes around 36 hours for a kitten to FULLY dehydrate. So right now he might be starting to show the signs of starting....
I want to thank EVERYONE for the advice, kind words, and the thoughts! Yall are wonderful!! {{{{{{Hugs}}}}} keep thinking about us though!!

That's wonderful news! Did your vet tell you what to feed him now? His digestive system will be a bit raw so I thought she might recommend something like A/D, a vet food, for a day. If you give him regular kitten food, I suggest dry because wet food can give them very wet stools even when they are totally well - as I know to my cost!!

He woke up, came over to me, and jumped up onto the computer desk!!
The first thing he did after that was go straight for the food bowl. I don't think he drank any though. thats a start!! The vet also said, he'll dirnk once he feels like it!! He's sleeping by the litter box again, right now but I'll update later.

Seven is Heaven!!
If you give Aslan dry food, you might try adding a bit of water. If you give him canned food, you can add a bit of water to it. Aslan is a very sweet Orange baby!!! Good luck!!
Nine is Fine!!
and Pumpkin too
I will send Prayers for Aslans recovery.

He finally took a looooooooooooong drink, and it playing again!!
But I want to ask something. About a half hour after he drank, he went down to go pee..... and he couldn't. He's tried a couple times..... is that normal when the get sick like that?? Do you think the warter just didn't pass through him yet or something???

He could still have been dehydrated a bit....just keep an eye on his next trip to the box. Likely his body soaked up all the water.
He is sounding so much better!

He's gone to the litter box a couple more times but never peed. He's being so sweet right now though. ^_^ I'm resizing a ton of pictures right now I'm gonna post soon.
