Hi - I adopted a one year old male from a shelter a few days back - he had a cold so they gave me antibiotics and some cans of food for him to gain weight, as apparently he had lost some weight while being at the shelter (he was there for a couple of weeks). I have been giving him antibiotics, and the sneezing has gone down quite a bit, but his appetite is not there. He is really thin and I'm worried. He is drinking water, has no interest in dry food, I bought him some tuna last night which I mixed in with his wet food (that the shelter gave me) and he ate 3 separate times, seemed to like it but he only eats a really small portion. He is not a shy kitty and loves attention, loves to be pet etc and he gets lots of that in my home. He's not very playful either, but I guess that's because he's not feeling so great.
Should I call a vet or give it a few more days? Has anyone experienced this before? I have had many cats my entire life, and never experienced this before, so I'm really worried. Should I stop giving him the antibiotics or keep it up - I'm not sure if it's not agreeing with him?
