So, after a month of living with his new brother (who came with feline herpes) it seems as if my 3-year old boy is now not feeling well.
He just seemed off the last day of two and Iām of the feeling that āowners knowā when a baby just isnāt themselves. I took him to the vet today and he had a good checkup with his only symptom being a fever of 40.0 C. She also said his breathing seemed a little loud but his lungs were clear and that could just have been because he was breathing harder with vet stress and the fever.
I was sent home with a recommendation of 1/2 a tablet of his brothers Famciclovir twice a day and to see how he does over the next 48 hours. Heās so sad and depressed lookingā¦ not eating or drinking (I did syringe a couple of droppers of water into him) and he did use the box for a very small pee.
Is there anything else I can do for him? Anyone deal with them before? I do have some Meloxicam on hand for my dog (not sure I can give to a cat if itās the dog formula) so if heās not better by tomorrow noon, I may call and ask about this.
This boy is my heart so Iām worried about him. Any help or reassurance would be appreciated
