Two days after the death of her younger brother last Thursday, Luna begins showing strange behavior. From a cheerful kitten suddenly turning moody, and not excited. All-day long she doesn't want to eat, if I put the boiled fish in front of her, she just looks at it without even touching it. It was very different when Lucky was alive, Luna ate more than her younger brother. At first I thought it might be because she had just lost her younger brother and playmate.
Luna, while still fine. She's an agile and adorable kitten.
On the second day, to be precise on Sunday, Luna was seen vomiting several times. At that time it had not occurred to me that Luna would fall ill, I thought that maybe she had eaten an insect or had bitten off the grass because I saw there was grass in her vomit.
In the midday, I tried to persuade her to eat, but as had happened before, Luna left her food without touching it. And in the afternoon, her behavior became even more strange. She goes into seclusion herself, lying languidly among the weeds that grew in my yard. She looked like was deliberately moving away from us and her mother, Balo.
Luna and her mother, Balo. Even though she has been weaned by her mother, Luna is still loved by Balo.
On the third day, I just arrived home after picking up Maher from school. I didn't find Luna on the porch of my house, not even in my yard. Together with Maher, we called out Luna, but she didn't appear. We kept looking for her here and there, but we couldn't find her. As I squatted under my mother-in-law's car, I found Luna on her stomach weak and helpless. Because my body was too big to get under the car, Maher tried to creep in and grab Luna's body.
We took Luna to the veterinary clinic right away. At the clinic, Luna was immediately handled by a vet. The vet then inserted the IV into Luna's body. After hearing my story about Luna's illness, the vet then gave Luna an injection of antibiotics and vitamins. After being treated by the vet, we were allowed to take Luna home. Before that, the vet told me that Luna should be forced to eat by feeding her with a spoon. It is important that she remains energized and helps her heal.

When at home, as recommended by the vet, we tried to feed Luna. At that time she only wanted to open her mouth for 3-4 mouthfuls of food, after which she even closed her mouth tightly.

On the fourth day, Luna didn't even want to open her mouth when my son fed her. Her eyes remained open but did not respond at all when asked by my son. Her condition was getting weaker.
My son, Maher, is trying to feed Luna with Wishkas. But his efforts were unsuccessful because Luna didn't want to eat.
That night, my son said, he saw Luna seemingly wanting to be outside the house with the friction of her head against the door. Out of pity, my son then let Luna out. When I got home from work, around 24.00 at night, I didn't find Luna on the porch or in the yard. I looked for her in a neighbor's house but I couldn't find Luna. I instead found her lying helplessly on the edge of a ditch near my house, she was wet from the rain. I thought Luna was dead, but as I stroked her head I saw her tail wagging. I carried Luna into the house.
The next day, another strange thing happened. I found Luna sleeping in the bathroom. I don't know why she slept on the bathroom floor, even though it was damp and cold there.

After taking my son to school, I immediately went home and took Luna again to the veterinary clinic. I recounted what happened before to the female vet who handled Luna. The vet diagnosed that Luna was most likely infected with the virus, but not the Feline panleukopenia virus, I forgot to remember what the virus was called.
Today entered the fifth day, she was about to eat even though a few mouthfuls. This morning I let her sleep on the front porch. The future is a mystery, I don't know what will happen to Luna tomorrow. I can only hope that she gets better soon, back into a cheerful and lively kitten(.)
