Please Help!

i have 2 9 week old kittens that i have had for about a week, they seemed fine at first but then one came down ill, he was sleeping alot and could hardly walk he'd take a step and then he'd fall over everytime he ate he would get sick so i took him to the vets he had a few jabs and he seems to be ok.
Now his brother has fallen ill hes eating and drinking very little hes not getting sick, but hes sleeping all the time and can hardly walk.

Does anyone know what it could be? and shall i take him to the vets aswell?

Sounds as if the second kitten has what the first is now thankfully recovering from though I've not idea what this is! Did the vet give any indication at the time?

Yes, most definitely take him to the vet and in fact I'd call them now!

Hope he's OK soon!

No doubt,vets ASAP.Did the vet say what was wrong with the brother.





Rethinking this ,it may not be as first thought.

Definitely call the vet. You don't know what it is, but it appears the vet helped the first kitten. This one probably has the same thing. And he can go downhill awfully fast, so never mess around with illness in kittens. It is incredible how fragile they really are.

Re: Please Help!
