    Has she been checked over by a vet? She could have worms or any number of problems. I’d get her seen ASAP.

    I think it’s tapeworm or something. Sure sounds like the symptoms. Take her to the vet.

    you should really take her to the vet.

    Take her to a vet ASAP for diagnosis and treatment. This is not normal and your kitten could die without veterinary intervention.

    It could be severe worms, or an autoimmune disease. Either way she needs to be treated now! Where did you get/find her? If she’s a stray or a farm kitty, there’s a high likeliness of both.

    Switch her to Purena Kitten chow! They need it the first year and then move her to Purena Cat chow after that. Then as she gets to be about 10 years old move her to Purina Mature Cat food. Do not feed her people food or moist foods they will ruin her teeth! I had my cat Diamond for 21 years and this was her diet! Good luck to you!

    Can you provide more information? Where did you get her? Is she a rescue? Did you adopt her from a shelter? etc.

    It could be any number of things from medical to socialization (was she raised around humans or outdoors.. did she get attention etc.) best thing to do is to take her to a vet, have her checked out, and get diagnosis/opinions about what’s going on.

    Have you had her to a vet? She may have feline leukemia or AIDS,or she could have a problem absorbing and digesting nutrients,or a bad case of parasites.Don’t let the poor thing waste away.Please take it to a vet.
