Hi,
I have two six month old kittens and the little boy is sick with enteritis (the non-chronic sort). The vet has given him antibiotics and an anti inflammatory injection and I have to inject him with antibiotics every other day until Sunday. He's not vomiting at all, but has diahorrea and is very stiff and obviously unhappy. He's eating OK, but doesn't seem that interested in drinking the amount of water I feel he should need to help him get better.
Has anyone had this and do they have any tips as to how to make him more comfortable? I'm worried that the little girl will catch it too, but the vet said that there wasn't anything that could be done to prevent it...
I lost my 12 year old cat to kidney failure last January and I must admit that any illness that seems along those lines freaks me out these days...
