Two-month-old kitten sleeping most of the day, not eating much and breathing hard: what should I do?
What they asked
I have a baby cate 2 months years old, lately she is less active and sleep the most of the time and eat less. Her breathing is kinda weird that her chest move hard
Sorry to hear about your cat. It sounds like you're noticing respiratory signs. I would take her to vet as soon as you can. Our younger animals are more susceptible to infections.
