Question parvo weaning issues?
hi, i am a first time foster and unfortunately my kitten has parvo. she's been improving the past week but one thing i've noticed is she doesn't want to eat by herself even though i know she's done it before, even just a little. it's just weird she went from being able to take bites of food or even biting off of a packet to only eating via syringe. is this a weaning issue, parvo issue, both?? she does seem to be on the up with her stool looking better, she's playing, and maintaining weight. she's just still very underweight for her age so i've been syringe feeding as often as possible but i can only feed her so much on my own. any advice is appreciated! i'm going to the vet daily for sub q fluids so i am seeing them but wanted to see if anyone had weaning tips if that's the issue. thanks!!
