I have a female kitten (Abby) that will be 4 months old July 3. When we got her from the shelter,, she had an extream nasal infection that the vet first thought it was herpies. We finally treated two weeks with amoxicillion drops. Everything cleared up... she could breath and eat at the same time and drink water without choaking.
She has been fine for about three weeks now. Again, today... she is starting with the same noises trouble breathing. Not as bad as before.. but I can tell it is the same thing starting over.
We called the vet on call.... this is the same one that said it was herpies, but not our regular vet. She said it could be a cronic nasal infections because the original one was so bad, it may have done permanent damage to the nasal passages, and she could have for life. Also she said, it could be a cronic virus, that could be for life. I cannot believe this little thing got all this already.. but it may happen. She also said maybe she needed a different antibiotic. We started the amox drops again today along with the vitamin paste in the tube, forgot the name for herpies. Never did she have a runny nose, or runny eyes.
Is it possible we have not cured the original infection? Could this be for life?
What happens when she gets use to the antibiotics over time?
HELP.... I want to keep this little girl.... we just got her and our current cat comfortable with each other,,,now this?
