So we picked up Bishop from the breeder on Saturday and took him straight to the vet for a check-up. He was wormed and had a set of his vaccines done that day. He had a small ulcer on his tongue that the vet thought might have been due to him biting it- it has since disappeared.
He was sneezing a little, and the next day was still sneezing a bit and doing this weird cough thing but both vet and breeder said that sneezing a bit could be a side effect of the vaccine.
It's now Tuesday and he's still sneezing and doing that cough thing. It's only every once in a while. We managed to record it to show the vet. We have an appointment tomorrow afternoon to have him seen, it was the soonest they could get him in. I listened to his breathing and he gets a little bit of a wheeze in his nose now and again (though no snot or discharge we've seen). I can't hear any crackling in his lungs but I'm just listening with my ear and he never stops purring.
No nasal discharge, no eye discharge. Eating and drinking fine, is not dehydrated. No diarrhea or vomiting. Small bouts of possible lethargy that may just be normal 'kitten crashing'.
He *might* have a slight fever, his ears feel a little warm, but we don't have a kitten thermometer to be able to tell for sure.
The breeder is well aware of everything going on and has been very helpful. She also offered to pay for meds if he needs them. I just wanted to get everyone's thoughts? After Simon passed away from FIP I've been a little paranoid.
