Hello there TCS,
I am a new cat owner, just got my first kitten a week ago now. I got him from a local shelter in my area, and I'm so excited for the years to come of watching my little man grow up.
I adopted a 3 month old orange tiger striped kitten. I think it's a tabby? I don't know much about cat breeds.
(Sorry for the reusing of my profile pic but he's kinda camera shy.)
I have named him Hobbes. When I got him he slept for 3 days so I took him to the vet. Turns out my poor little kitten has a raging case of coccidiosis and an eye infection from cat herpes.
Since then I've administered his two antibiotics and eye cream twice a day. He's been acting much happier, meowing, running about like a kitten should and not sleeping near as much.
I'll probably be asking a lot of questions as he's my first kitten so I'm sure all you fine feline lovers know how worried first time car owners can be. Over protective mode, initiate! :3
Anyway, I'm pleased to meet you all and hope to talk soon. If anyone has any advice on how to help a cat with coccidiosis / eye infections please let me know! Thanks a bunch. Take care.
