Question
MY CAT HAS LOST ALL INTEREST IN EATING. HE WILL DRINK HIS WATER. IF HE HAS HEART WORMS WILL IT KILL HIM?HES 4 MONTHS OLD NOW. IVE GIVEN HIM MEDICINE OVER THE COUNTER WILL THAT HELP HIM? THANK YOU

Answer
Hi Mary,
What makes you think your kitten has heartworms?  Yes, it can kill a cat, but it takes six months to go to the heart, so your kitten doesn't have heartworms now.  There are many things that it could be , too many to guess. You really should take him to a Vet. If he isn't eating, then somthing is definetly wrong.

God Bless
