A week ago we adopted a pair of 2 month old kittens. They were also altered a week ago. The male was initially mildly playful and moved around normally, however 2 days ago he began primarily sleeping through the day. My vet is on medical leave until next week and the other vet we saw seemed puzzled.
The kitten is still eating normally, a dry diet. Drinks water well and drinks a lot. Uses the litter box properly with soft poop. He is responsive and gets up for food, water, or bathroom on his own but otherwise is content sleeping. Has a little weakness in his hind legs as of yesterday and is a little waddle like when he walks (though this might just be from the roundness of his tummy). Has been treated for worms and parasites, also has no signs of them in his stools. Stomach is bloated but soft, like pressing on an inflated balloon. He is not bothered by his stomach being touched or pressed on. Mom was tested for felv/fiv with negative results. His sister, however, is entirely fine.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
I've been reading through forums and websites for nearly 6 hours and am just looking for some better outlet to guide us toward a solution.

. There is no definitive test for FIP, but there are some clues in the bloodwork, so I would have the Vet look at it and see what they think, unless they've already ruled that out (hopefully).
