My kitty is 8 weeks old, a Himalayan Breed a male as his name is Rocco. We took him to the vet after a couple days we was doing bad, as he was very lethargic, not eating, and weight loss.

I’ve been really down lately, not knowing what to do, and would love to hear from others. Thank you.

Hi, Krista I can definitely provide more information! All I know his mother is negative for Fel/FIV.

Let me know what have to say, I would appreciate it so much. I’ve been worrying a lot lately. Thank you once again.

I agree with Krista, try to get more help. Hear murmur in kittens cat be traeted. They may need an heart-ultrasound the see the cause of the murmur and to choose the right medication. When he’s better he may start to eat enough on his own again.
We syringe-feed kittens with a mixture of hills a/d food and kitten formula. They usually accept it very well and gain weight properly.
You may want to try and look for a second opinion, if your current vet doesn’t help any further.
