I am really worried and thought I would join here and see if someone could answer my question. I have an 7 month old female kitten I had spayed Thursday. It is now Satuday and shehas not had anything to eat or drink since 8pm Wednesday. I'm really worried. She had been moaning and wailing the first and part of the second day. She gets up every so often walks to the kitchen and lies down... but that's it. I've offered her water, food.. she just turns her head. I'm really worried. I called the vet yesterday they said it's normal but another day has passed and she still is not drinking or eating.
Any suggestions or just tel lme I'm a nut to worry..
Help?

Three days without water?! Don't know about cats, but dogs would be in trouble after this long. Can't you get her to an emergency vet?

I'm relieved to hear this, thanks. I'll be looking forward to hearing how she is doing after seeing a vet. Please don't wait as dehydration sets in after this long if not 2 days ago. I take my dogs in after 24 hours of any signs of trouble, if not sooner. It's possible that I over-react, but at least I don't lose animals.

Well I called the animal hospital Sunday and they told me get a dropper and start forcing water in. I did that and it ended up coming up later that night. Today I finally got hold of her vet. I am now forcing babyfood feedings! The kitten is NOT a happy camper. Neither am I for that matter. Tomorrow the vet is open after the long weekend. She will be there when they open. I've had it and so had my poor kitten...
Thanks for your help!

After water droppers, then baby food, I finally got the vet on the day after the holiday and he had to give her a shot... antibiotics, anti nausea pills and some gel which I was to feed her every hour 20 times a day!! She obviously had an infection. It took several days but finally she perked up and went to eating on her own. Today she is back to her old self climbing and driving everyone nuts! I'm really happy now but it was a scarey few days.

Thanks
