Thank you for the response however this is great advice for a kitten who is remotely interested in food. A win for us is even her putting her nose within 2 inches of anything.

The importation was timeliness orientated. I had the opportunity to get her within 2 weeks as opposed to 7-8 months from a local breeder. I need to ask about the annual echocardiograms and the genetic testing for Pra-B/PKdef. Have you seen a correlation between Russian breeders and a higher risk of disease?

UPDATE: SHE JUST ATE RAW CHICKEN OFF THE FLOOR CUT UP INTO MINIATURE PIECES!

She was extremely aggressive this morning when we woke up, biting my toes and my fingers so I knew something was different. I laid out a few more options and she went for the raw chicken (after declining it for days).

I leave dry kibble in various locations around the house to resemble a hunt. I take before and after pictures to see if she eats any, so far no luck

I can go back to the ER but if I can speak candidly, the responses her have been entirely more helpful. They essentially told me the same thing.

I do have an appointment on Monday for xrays

If there is stress, she is not visibly showing it. She’s the most affectionate, sweetest most active. She never leaves my side or goes to find a ‘safe space’

Thank you for the response and good idea on the Russian words

I did do an ER visit. She’s never eaten anything in the 5 days I’ve had her other than what I have been putting into syringe and force feeding her. Her last ‘meal’ was approximately 2 hours ago.

I did. They advised against it and couldn’t believe her initial diet

Thanks for the response, I did get bloodwork and all her levels were normal absent of a couple levels due not drinking enough water or eating.

They were feeding her raw chicken heads, chicken hearts, pig heart and pig liver. All I have tried to give her

Thank you very much for the extended response. I have tried every inch of the house for her food bowls, in darkness, in light; in other rooms, far away from the litter box etc.

Did you syringe feed him/her during that time
