Hey guys, I'm new here looking for some help.
I apologize in advance for the long post, but I really need someone with experience.
I have a 3 years old british shorthair, his name is tobi. I felt that he got lonely so 2 weeks ago I adopted a new kitten, he is a male, mixed race and he is 6 weeks old. I named him Romesco (hence my nickname).
The thing is, I introduced them slowly, Romesco is VERY active and he keeps jumping on tobi. I was always with them when they are together. 4 days later, tobi statred acting up, like throwing up clear liquid (looks like egg whites) but before it reaches the ground, he eats up again. So I thought maybe he ate something bad. I took him to the vet and was told that it's stress. but gave him some antibiotics and some food to help him with his digestion, the vet also suggested buying the feliway friends, so I bought it even though I was very skeptical about it. the next day he got better.
by day 8, Tobi started licking and cleaning the kitten. So I thought YAY finally, I felt comfortable leaving them alone together.
Romesco is HYPER-active, and he jumps on anything that moves, when I blink he jumps on my face and he would never lets Tobi alone.
I had a one day trip. when I came back, tobi had a squinty watery eye. I got so worried, and since it's Sunday there are no vets. I tried rubbing the eye with some water and still. he got worse. by the evening, I decided to take him to the emergency. They made same tests and found out that there's a surface scratch in his eye, nothing serious. they gave him some shots for the pain and also some eyedrops 3xtimes a day for 5-7 days. I was told that he has an ulcer and some infection, so it's better to keep the little one away from Tobi or when he is close to him I have to separate them .
I decided to separate them for at least 2 days, until Tobi gets better. because the little one KEEPS JUMPING ON TOBI'S FACE AND bites and kicks (playfully). Now as I put the little one in his room (spacious, with toys, food and everything) HE KEEPS on meowing. like literally 30 mins straight. as soon as he stops and I pass by the room to go to the kitchen, he starts meowing again. I have no idea how to stop him from doing so. I go in and play with him and give him some treats, I also let Tobi in another room, and give little one some freedom to go out and play (4-5 hrs).
So now Tobi is better, how do I keep the little one away from attacking faces (human & animals)? I am just scared if I put them again together the same thing will happen again.
How do I stop the little one from meowing? is there anything I can give him or do to keep him calm? inside and outside his room?
Thank you in advance!
