Question
i took my kitten to the vet for a bleeding rash about two days ago. i was given a topical medicine to take care of it. since then the rash seems to be disappearing quickly, but her behavior has changed drastically. where as she used to keep us up all night with all her bouncing around the house, she barely wants to move. she also has bloodshot eyes, grooms excessively, and just always seems to want to sleep! she is like a rag doll the way she lets you toss her around! i'm very worried for my beloved kitten and hope that you can help me becaus the vet really isn't!!!

Answer
Hi Brittany!
This doesn't sound good to me.  You need to call your Vet and ask about her behaviour.  I can't imagine the medicine causing this, but it does make me wonder since she was fine before.  It is very abnormal behavior for a kitten and I think a trip to the Vet again would be in order.  

God Bless,

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
