Hi everyone! Recently 1 of my 3 little fur babies got sick with a viral infection so I separated her from her siblings (they're not littermates), she has been on antibiotics for 3 days and has had no symptoms at all for 2 days, she's playing, eating, and pooping well but she really really misses playing with her siblings and is constantly meowing at the door for them. How long should I wait until I allow them to all be together without her passing on her illness? Thank you!

Welcome I'm sorry nobody has replied yet. I am not really experienced in this type of thing and don't know how long this kind of thing takes but I would say a few days on the antibiotics then shouldn't be contagious anymore but you may want to call the vet just to be safe and see what they say. Today is day 4 so I'm assuming it should be ok now. Hopefully someone else with some more knowledge will be along.

Agree best to ask the vet. He knows the diagnose and the antbiotics given. A guess it could be ok now - IF kitten strong enough

It should be fine after 3 days of antibiotics to return her to her playmates! :)

I agree, usually three days on the antibiotics as long as she is not presenting with severe symptoms!
