I recently adopted a kitten from Petsmart on November 21, Monday and we introduced the new kitten to our other kitten (they are one month apart) on the same day. It didnt' work out well at all so we separated them after about 15 minutes. The next day the new kitten had a runny nose, sneezing, and lots of eye discharge. He also had really bad breath and was drooling constantly. We brought him to the vet for his second set of shots and informed the vet of these symptoms. The vet said that is was just a change in the environment. But the next day, he got worse - he started bleeding from the nose. The vet prescribed Clavamox and some eye drops. Presently, he is doing fine with no discharge, no drooling, or smelly breath.
But on the other hand, my first kitten, Stewie, began acting weird Wednesday afternoon. He had already stopped eating on Tuesday night. He usually follows me around the house where ever i go, but now he was just hiding in a corner. That night he stopped eating and drinking water and just slept all day. On the 24th, thursday, he was still lethargic, not eating or drinking, limping on his right back leg, walking slow and scrunched up with his head held low, his third eyelid was visible, eyes were a little watery (there was no discharge) and squinty, and he had lots of trouble jumping up and down from the bed (there was no discharge from the nose either). I brought him to the vet ASAP the next day and turns out my kitty had a 105 degree fever, so the doctor gave him 2 shots (a vitamin B shot and a antibiotic shot) and prescribed him Clavamox.
Stewie hasn't eaten in 4 days - he won't eat his dry food nor will he eat canned food. the only thing he will eat is his kitty treats. He still feels feverish and he doesn't seem to be getting better - i don't know what to do! please help!!!
