I got a new kitten named Fez about 8 days ago. I rescued him from the shelter, and the next morning the shelter took him to my Vets office to have him nuetered before I could pick him up. Well the day he was suppose to get nuetered my Vets office called and told me he was very dehydrated. He was covered in fleas so I asked them to bathe him before his surgery. They said that after the bath he freaked out and b/c of his dehydration they wouldnt do the nueter. He was also extremly skinny, not even weighing 2 pounds, he is suppose to be around 10 weeks old. So I went to the Vets office and picked him up.
I brought him home and put him in his own room. He sneezed a couple times and I knew from experiance that he probly had a URI since he came from the pound. So the next day I took him back to the Vets for a checkup. They dewormed him and gave me antibiotics for his URI which was not bad at all at the time, just one or two sneezes and that was it. So he started his meds about a week ago. He did get worse but I expected that. He sneezed ALOT, made gurgling noises, and only sleept. Luckily he DOES eat and drink, so he hasnt lost his appetite which is good since he is so skinny.
What has me worried is lastnight he was sleeping in the cat tree as usual and came out of his bed and started throwing up, looked like liquid. He started meowing and belted out one long meow. I havnt heard him meow since he was at the pound before he got sick. After he threw up that time he didnt do it agian. Should I be worried? I'm gonna call my vet later when he comes in to the office.
He still has his URI but isnt sneezing and gurgling as much, his eyes look clearer but this vomiting lastnight worried me.
Also he will seem a lot better all threw out the day, then when we give him his medicene, which is a liquid, he starts sounding all sickly agian, but then gets batter 30 min later??Is this normal?
Oh one more thing. I had him in his own room when we brought him home. When my boyfriend and I left, we came back to find my older cat had managed to open the door to Fez's room and she was hanging out with him, grooming him, and she had let the other two cats in aswell. All the other cats are up to date on shots, are they gonna get sick? Thanks!
