My kitten Freaks out sometimes and will run around really fast and not let anyone pick her up i thought before it was becasue shes scared but today she was doing worse than ever. i finally caught her and she ended up peeing on me and she also has poop coming out but not all the way out. right now she is lying down and breathing extremely heavy i would just like to know whats wrong. i was thinking she might be constipated but i would like some other advice. thank you.

Hi
yes it does sound like she is in some distress and yes she may be constipated

But it is impossible to say if this the only cause of her distress.

Have you made sure she does not have fleas as this can be very dangerous for kittens as it can cause anemia.

i am a little worried about the heavy breathing. this could be caused by anxiety or could be a symptom of some illness.

All i can say is try to help her with the poop issue, make sure she has plenty of fresh water to drink and gently massage her tummy to try and stimulate her insides.

If her behavior is the same tomorrow or worsens in the next few hours then you need to try and get her to see a vet as soon as you can.

Hopefully it is just a case of constipation.

hope she is better soon

Kate
