When I adopted my kitten a few weeks back I never knew things were going to be like this. I want to do everything I can to keep her healthy but if its not one thing its another. She is now just over 3 months old. I noticed she will never want to play with her toys mainly just sleep or sit on my lap.
The first problem was her intermittent use of the litterbox. Sometimes she would use it and sometimes she would find a place on the wall or carpeting for both #1 and #2. The main problem was peeing but every once in a while she will poo outside the box.
The second problem I noticed and had no clue was that she had fleas. I took her right to the vet only to find out she has tapeworms as well (which is obviously common if the cat has or had fleas).
Now starting a couple days ago she has developed a weird congestion. Sometimes I can hear her breathe, her eyes now appear to be watery, her third eyelid has been visible.
I also noticed she has not been eating. I have tried everything to make her food appealing but all I see her do is eat small amounts of food and drink a lot of water. It appears she is trying to smell the food but cant? It seems she eats more of her litter than anything else :-(
I had her at the vet the other day and he gave her a shot for the tapeworms, and he also applied Advantage for the fleas. It appears the fleas are gone as there are no signs of flea dirt anymore. As for the worms I have no clue if they are gone or not. The Humane Society that I got her from gave me some medicine for her for the cold or whatever but does not seem that it has done anything.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with her?
She will be going to the vet again tomorrow when I get home from work. Any input is appreciated and I will update when I get them.

Here is a picture I just took of her. Cute as a button but you can clearly see her eyes arent how they should be.
