First time posting, hi all! I can’t even begin to explain how much reading the different threads throughout the community has helped in this ordeal! You’re all wonderful!
So to cut to the chase, I have a nine week old baby boy named Mochi and he’s been ill for about three days solid. We rushed him to ER when his temperature went past 104 and after fluids and antibiotics he came home. Didn’t do any testing as the vet suggested we manage his fever and see how he fairs after a day or two.
He’s very lethargic but slightly more active. Very slightly, he sits up and grooms and likes to nuzzle but other than that he sleeps all day and rarely moves.
He lost quite a bit of weight but his appetite is returning and he drank some KMR with gusto today.
My question is has anyone ever had a very sickly kitten who turned around and recovered? If so, what were the signs he was feeling better and how did his improvement develop over time?
This is my first time raising a kitten from such a young age so I’m pretty lost as far as what to expect and seeing him get sick suddenly has been so tough.
Thanks in advance for all the help!!
