Accepted Answer

Hi there.

If your cat has not been to a vet, it would be best to have her seen for tests such as FELV/FIV. These diseases can come out at any time and cause similar symptoms. She may also have a mild infection that is causing her to lose weight and not feel good.

I wish I could tell you more but, until you have diagnostics performed on your kitten, you will not know how best to treat her.

Good luck!!
