I have decided to take her to a different vet tomorrow. She's been asleep most of the day today. She perks up a bit for the tuna but that's really short lived. She will get up and walk but it's usually a few feet then she loafs up again and goes to sleep. I feel like I need a real diagnosis here. Not just a guess. I'll keep you guys posted. Fingers crossed!

I know heart worm isn't very prevalent in kittens, but I found this online...
Yeah. I've been googling symptoms for days. Something has to be wrong. This just feels like more than sinus polyps.Please let us know. Poor sweet baby.
"Signs of heartworm infestation in cats include coughing, labored raspy breathing (known as dyspnea), and vomiting. Respiratory problems and vomiting are the predominant symptoms in cases of chronic infestation. A physical examination may also reveal a heart murmur or otherwise irregular heart rhythm."
Wow. I sure hope they figure out what's wrong. Glad they kept her.Took her in to the new vet. She had declined quite a bit over the weekend. Dehydrated. Diarrhea. Pitiful looking. They're keeping her. Running tests and giving IV fluids. Hopefully they find her problem. Poor lil thing. Also found out she's closer to 18 weeks old. I thought she was 10 weeks she's so stunted.
Sorry to hear that. I'm glad your new vet is more proactive and I hope whatever they find isn't too serious. Do you know if they've tested for coronavirus? Also, do you happen do know the status of the other kittens from the litter, as in, are they healthy and doing well?
They're going to do a CBC today. Hopefully they find whatever it is. As far as the other kittens their mother had carried all but her into an abandoned house next to grandmas. They've been emerging lately and they are quite a bit bigger than her. We're guessing momma left her thinking she wasn't a viable kitten. She is runty. She's been such a fighter. I hope she stays with us.
They are all ferals. The silent one inside has been vocal a couple times but his loudest was when I came home from work to a small fire in the house. He was meowing for some help then!
Thank you. No word yet except she's resting comfortably getting fluids.She is beautiful! I hope your new vet can help her. She could be sleeping so much if she's not getting enough oxygen. I hope it's something easy to fix for your baby.
As for silent meows, I have one that is silent inside and one outside. I also have one inside that you can hear all over the house!
Good luck to your precious baby! Prayers for her.
No matter the outcome, you will know that you have done everything possible. Lord willing she will pull through! I adore cats. Mine have given me so much unconditional and conditional 
love.
He has no idea what's wrong. The only thing he's told me is infection. Infection where? Who knows. It's pretty frustrating.Does the vet suspect FIP? Because that's my guess, and if he hasn't mentioned it I think you should ask him if he thinks that's a possibility. Unfortunately, that wouldn't have a good outcome. In any case, I'm so sorry.
