There is a kitten in my bathroom. Long story about how he came to be there.
He has been diagnosed with URI (poor little guy). Has antibiotics for that. Vet did not want to do vaccines until that clears up a bit. He also has fleas and is pretty dirty. Dosed for worms. Has not been tested for FeLV yet.
He is supposed to be about 10 weeks old. Not sure if that is true. He weighs 1.5 pounds.
He is eating California Natural dry food so far. Seems to like it. I wet it down a bit.
Questions:
When can he be exposed to other cats? Sebastian cannot be around anything contagious.
How long does it usually take antibiotics to kick in?
He has not used litter at all. Got here at 9pm last night. Will he be ok?
He really needs a bath. Should I bathe him? If so, what kind of shampoo? I have nothing here for cats.
He is all by himself in a tiny bathroom. He is in the carrier with blankies. When Daphne went thru the isolation period, she got to come out a bit and had a large bathroom to hang out in.
How do I disinfect the carrier so it can be used for Sebastian tomorrow?
What can I do to best help the kitten?
Help. I am feeling more than a bit overwhelmed. Wasn't quite ready for this. Feel like I'm forgetting something.
