My foster kitten, 7 weeks old, developed a really bad eye over easter. Today I went to the vet with her and he diagnosed Clamydophila, prescribed antibiotics and I went home.
There I read a bit online about Clamydophila and found out it is contagious. The vet didn´t even bother to tell me, although he knows I have other cats and foster.
I am very pissed to say the least. How can they be so greedy with information?
Anyway, I called in later and asked and the person on the phone had to check with him and put me on hold. When she came back she said: you don´t have to separate the kitten from the other cats, since they have been exposed already.
Now I wonder, does that mean, either the other cats got it already, and if not, they wont?
I separated the kitten and her brother from the adults, just to be safe. Didn´t want to put her in solitary confinement and her brother seems fine.
Any advice from the experts?
