It sounds like your kitten is experiencing some very concerning symptoms that require immediate attention. When a kitten cries while using the bathroom, has difficulty walking, falls over, and shows a lack of appetite or thirst, it can indicate a range of serious issues. These could include a urinary blockage, a severe infection, or even neurological problems. Such symptoms are particularly worrisome in a young kitten and necessitate prompt veterinary evaluation.

Let me explain why it's crucial to seek veterinary care right away:

Firstly, if your kitten is crying when using the bathroom, it might be due to pain from a urinary blockage, which is considered a medical emergency.

Secondly, the combination of not eating or drinking and having difficulty walking could suggest a severe infection or another illness that requires immediate diagnosis and treatment.

Lastly, if your kitten is falling over and struggling to walk, it might indicate a neurological issue that needs professional assessment.

Given the seriousness of these symptoms, I strongly advise taking your kitten to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They will be able to conduct the necessary tests to identify the underlying cause and provide the appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
