Hi Everyone.
I got my Kitten, Penny, on 18th February 2012. I got her from a woman advertising kittens online. I paid $400 for her. She had her first two vaccinations, flea’d and wormed. She was worth every penny (hehe). The one thing that is really stressing me out is the fact that she has not been 100% well since the day I got her. Since I’ve gotten her I’ve taken her to the vet 4 times. From the moment I picked her up she had a slight sneeze and eyes were overly watery, I wiped her eyes everyday, I’ve flea’d and wormed her. She’s been on antibiotics 3 times now. It does clear up and then the next day or so she goes downhill again. I’ve completely cleaned/disinfected my apartment at least 3 times since I’ve had her, that doesn’t make a difference. Over the past three days, she’s started to not use her litter box either. I’m just getting paranoid ,worried and stressed out thinking I’m doing something wrong, or my Vets just not doing anything useful?. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I’m assuming a big one would be get a second opinion?
EDIT - Penny is showing no other signs of illness, Eats drinks and plays normally, doesnt seem to be uncomfortable or in pain. She just sounds congested some days alot more worse than others.
Thanks guys
PS. I dont think the woman I got her from was a registered breeder. Penny has a Pure Himalayan as a dad, and her mum is Himalayan cross something else.
