Ok, so this past thurs I adopted a new kitten (4mo old Male.) He came home with some sneezing.
I called the vet and they told me how common it was and he'd be fine. I made an appointment for him with the vet for Monday (today). But he was getting worse and worse, so when I got home from work Saturday morning, I rushed him to the kitty ER.
They gave him a shot of antibiotics and told me I should sit with him in the bathroom with hot shower running so the steam would help him breathe easier. They also told me to cut off the air conditioning and open up the house to let it air out, and also get him some humidity.
He seems to be bouncing back pretty well. He is eating, using the litter box, playing, and getting into normal kitten mischief.
So today is supposed to be way HOTTER than it was over the weekend. So I turned on the AC (only up to 80°)
But within 5 minutes of turning it on he started sneezing and wheezing all over again.
I have COPD myself. So there's a new filter on the AC intake, and I've got the individual vent filters throughout the house. I vacuumed and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors before I brought him home. I don't know what else to do.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!!
