Jana I’m having a hard time factoring the licking of the legs into the picture, particularly if diabetes was ruled out because that can cause strange sensations or lack of sensation.
However, drinking and peeing a lot means there IS a problem. Diabetes is a top suspect but if that was ruled out, something else is to blame. Which diagnostics were done? Urinalysis? Blood work? No abnormalities on these tests at all? Is there any swelling of the legs? Where does she lick? Feet or elsewhere? Any other changes in appetite, stamina …?

Anonymous i would get her in to your vet ASAP. there could be an anal fissure, or possibly an anal gland became impacted and is causing her problems.

Michelle Ng You should go talk to your kitten’s vet.
if memory serves, based on some research i’ve done, puppies should be eating 5-6 meals per day at that age. do you have support from your vet?
Krista, thank you for your advice! Today I gave him breakfast (puppy food with warm water and a bit of oatmeal – syringe), 2nd breakfast (the same, but he vomitted it as he didn’t feel good in the afternoon), home made chicken soup with celery and carrots – syringe – couple of times during the day because he felt nauseated and he ate small portions (1 small syringe at a time, next in 15 – 20 minutes, sometimes 2 syringes at a time). When he smelled our dinner all of the sudden he jumped out of the bed and ate some chicken (boiled), not much, but it was his initiative. He played with our lab, played with his stuffed chicken and went to bed. Now I’m waking him every half our and I give him blended rice with egg yolk, chicken and warm water.
Laura, unfortunately no because our vet told me that he’s gonna die. And I’m not giving up on him.
