My 8 month old kitten just got sick for the first time and he’s having a hard go. We are on day 5 of the URI. It started with sneezing and a runny nose and progressed to bad congestion today.
Yesterday we had a vet visit and he was prescribed liquid doxy. He’s only had two doses so far..he was a lot less congested yesterday.
He’s been sleeping most of the day and I have a humidifier running next to him (plain water, no Vicks or oils, don’t worry). He’s eating and drinking, there’s no eye discharge, just clear runny nose snot. He doesn’t want to play at all. He just seems so sad and it kills me to hear him struggling to breathe with a snotty nose.
Should I take him back to the vet and get an antibiotic shot? Is there really anything they can do for him or do I just have to give it time? Maybe saline nose drops? Get a nebulizer treatment? I just feel super bad for him.
