Hi, I take care of many strays in my "feeding station" from the animal welfare in the island...
This cat, about 2 yrs old
she had a cat flu (or so i think now) about 2 months ago, i took her in my house and gave her antibiotics and she became well so i let her out again
about 1 week ago i noticed she was sick again so i took her to the vet and he gave her an antibiotic injection that lasts for 14 days
she was doing well (or so i though) untill the day before yesterday, she ate with all the others
yesterday i did not see her
today i found her very weak, and in bad condition in general. i took her to the vet and because she had the injection he said he cannot give her anyting else
She also had like dried blood in her ears (vet cleaned them)
so he said i should keep her warm and give her felovite (this was at 14:00 now the time is 20:00)
i gave her again felovite and about 3 ml milk with a syringe (she wont eat/drink alone, neither reacts to the smell of smelly canned food)
she is still superweak, and sleeps
I am worried because she is so lovely and in general i worry so much because this year i had such a bad year with cats... i am a little histerical.
I called the vet and he said nothing more, i asked him if we shall give her fluids but he said no.
Does anybody have any other suggestions?
she takes deep breaths and you can hear her breathing is not clear
As i've might have mention in other posts it is a rural area and there are not many resources in the vet's office for doing tests or good x-rays
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
