Im still not sure about this little kitty. She is better today but she still acts weird. The vet also suggested that she may be having vision probelm but that he did get her eyes to dilate w light. She doent doesnt play or do anything. She will follow me and try and climb up me but she definantly isnt as strong. And we are also back to eating no soft food as well. She only is drinking that kitten formual I bought her. She also isnt cleaning herself and Ive heard thats a sighn of disease. She is leaving her face all caked up w the formula and her paw was all dried up with kitty litter and it was very hard for me to clean out of their, but she did let me do it. Im still really confused. I wish someone could help me decide what I should do. Thanks

My kittens were always a mess, especially with formula. My little orphan would get it all over her face and squirm and cry when I would clean her off.

I don't think cats normally go blind unless they have a taurine deficiency or get a disease that causes blindness. If she can see now she is probably okay.

I know sometimes it's easy to get freaked out about our kitties, but you might just need to relax a bit. Most of the things going on so far sound fairly normal to me. If you are stressed out you could be passing those vibes on to your kitty.

Some cats are harder to wean than others. Once she is strong and healthy on the formula you can tackle the weaning. My orphan didn't wean until 8-9 weeks.
