Hi.
I just adopted a new kitten on Monday and, the day I brought her home, I noticed that she was shaking a little bit. It felt like nerves or chills so I did my best to comfort her and warm her but it hasn't really stopped since that day. There are times when she is at rest and I don't feel it all but it always seems to come back.
She is also consuming very little food. The night I brought her home, she didn't eat any of the dry that I had out. Tuesday morning, I gave her some wet food and she gobbled it right down. She ate again Tuesday afternoon but it was a very small amount and then didn't eat again until this morning. She also rarely seeks food herself and I have to take her to it.
In addition to all of this, she's really lazy and wobbly on her feet. Shows interest in toys, will chase a little bit, but won't attack. She primarily just wants to sit on me or in her little tent.
A few things:
She is 8 weeks old and 1.6lbs.
She just received the FVRCP vaccine on Monday.
I had her vet check her out yesterday afternoon and he didn't see anything concerning.
She is very attached to humans, wants to be around us, and isn't hiding.
When she rests, she is very happy. Purrs, long arm stretches, squinty.
She was conspitated Monday and yesterday morning but the wet food she ate helped and she seems normal on that front now.
She also drinks and pees normal.
At times, her tremble feels almost like a purr just without the sound. It kind of comes in waves that sync with her breathing, like a purr does. Is such a thing possible? I know she's capable of making purr noises.
My primary concern right now is her eating as I feel like she's too small and want to bulk her up a bit. Any advice on that would be helpful. Just anything to get her nutrients.
Any comments on the trembling would be helpful, too.
And just to note, I plan on calling her vet tomorrow if I make no progress tonight.
