Hi
I'm wanting to see about getting some advice and possibly some help at all...
I have a 9-10month old kitten that keeps coughing really badly and his meows have become really horse and strained, he has become very lazy and doesn't even come for his treats anymore...
I have spoke to the vets about it at his injection check ups and she advised me to give him honey because I am unable to afford his £30 vets medication fee...
But he has kept coughing and struggling to meow and not eating as much as before...

Would be grateful of any advise I can get please...

What type of medication is the vet suggesting? An antibiotic? What does the vet think is wrong?
Any discharge from the nose or eyes?

Is there a PDSA vet that you can get to? They provide low cost care/treatment for those on limited incomes. The RSPCA or the Blue Cross may be able to help too.

I hope one of these organisations can hep you get the meds your kitten needs, and that he feels better soon :cross::vibes:

There's no discharge from his eyes or nose at all, I've been advised to give him honey for his throat...
As time is going on he seems to be having more energy the Vets advised yesterday could be a mixture of him having his injections an this sore throat and has said to give him till Wednesday if he's still coughing to take him in but I'm just not sure on how he will be he's hit and miss at the moment...
