My 16 week old male kitten has been sick with an URI for 12 days. He has had a conjunctivitis for 10 days as well. The vet has put him on oral Clavimox and antibiotic drops. When the antibiotic drops weren't working, he was put on a combo antibiotic/steroid drops. The entire time he had been eating, drinking, playing, and using the bathroom. yesterday he slept alot, but still ate and played. This morning he is lethargic and wont eat. he cried when I picked him up, and as far as I know has not used the bathroom. I am really worried and wonder if you feel I just monitor him or take him to the ER vet since our vet isn't open until tomorrow. he still has the conjunctivitis BTW, and his 3rd eyelids are still showing since day one.

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

It sounds like he is one sick kitty.
Yes, I think a sudden change like that may call for a visit to the ER vet, since a young kitten like that can go downhill very fast if they're not eating.

Wow! You've really had a rough time with this little guy, haven't you? With all that's going on, I'd definitely get him to the ER vet, especially with the pain when you pick him up.
