Two months back my family and I talked about getting a kitten. We finally went to a little. shelter and got our sweet, very shy, very small kitten. Her being underweight went unnoticed for a while since our older cat is so overweight. The kitten started to get gunky eyes and a stuffed up nose. Turns out she had a respiratory infection, she got very sick and stoped eating, as did the older cat. Now their problems are cleared up. The older. cat is now back to her old self again. My little kitten however, now spends most of her day hiding under my bed and barely comes out, even to eat. I usually put the food directly infront of her in hopes to get her to eat or at least be less scared of me... She's seven months old and growing in lenght but not putting on any weight. She weight merely 4.4 pounds. She's all sking and bones. She hides for such long periods of time that light hurts her eyes and she has trouble walkong in a straight line. My vet told me she was only hiding cause she was sick... A that once the infection was cleared that she would become more active again... But, she hasn't. Any ideas on how to get my playful little kitten back, or how to help her gain weight?
