Newborn Bengal Kitten is Sick! Won't latch, makes swimming motions

  • 1.  Newborn Bengal Kitten is Sick! Won't latch, makes swimming motions

    I'm sorry, I don't know if this is the right place to post this kind of thing or where I should!

    My sister's Bengal just had kittens; the others nursed for a good 20 minutes shortly after being born, but one of them has not nursed at all.

    The other kittens also are crawling around, but this one just lies on its back and waves its paws in the air like it's trying to swim.

    Please help! We tried rubbing its head and back already, but that hasn't worked.

    Your sister needs to take the kitten to her vet!
