PLEASE HELP my kitten swallowed an object?
On Sunday my kitten swallowed the very tip of a rubber nipple. He has been fine for a couple days now, he even had one solid firm poop. It is now Wednesday morning and he's very lethargic. He won't play, eat, or drink. What do I do? He has been to the vet TWICE since Sunday. I REPEAT I HAVE BEEN TAKING HIM TO THE VET. But the first time the vet said he is fine and would pass the nipple, and the second time he gave him a shot to help him poop, and a shot for fluids so he doesn't get dehydrated. He got the shots yesterday evening(Tuesday). Are the shots doing their jobs? Is he gonna be okay? What should I feed him? How? PLEASE HELP he's only 5 weeks old.

I would call your vet and voice your concerns. It is possible for this to cause an obstruction - depending on big the tip was. If you start to see vomiting then that is a major concern. But - he should still be eating and drinking and even playful if it is able to pass. Good for you for keeping in contact with the vet. It is possible for young and very small kittens to get worse quickly so please don't wait long. If necessary the vet may need to take an x-ray to determine if it will pass. It should have by now.

The rubber could be making him sick, would try taking him to another vet, this one does not seem to understand, you have a very young kitten.
