Hi, I'm new here and to being a kitten mom. I adopted two 6-week-old kittens from the shelter about 3 weeks ago. They are my first cats I've ever had. Three days after bringing them home they started sounding congested and sneezing, so we made a visit to the vet. Diagnosis: upper respiratory infections. After 1 round of antibiotics, plus another abx injection, plus a nebulizer treatment, my girl is better, but my boy is still congested. Another vet visit later, two more types of abx, a total of 3 weeks of treatment and this baby just cannot get past it! Could there be something else going on with him? I would never have thought a kitten would stay sick for so long after being medicated. He is playing, eating, and drinking. He has basically been sick since I've had him, so it's hard to know if his true personality is more reserved than playful, which is how he comes across. Does he just need a few more days? I'm tired of taking him to vet and pumping him full of meds.
