Oliver my six week old, (on Monday) kitten has an upper respiratory infection. The vet gave me antibiotics for him and medicated drops for his eyes.
He told me it's not uncommon for bottle babies to get these, but after the way I lost Squeakers I'm completely freaking out. Somebody please reassure me here. He's eating and drinking fine, from a bottle anyway, he still refuses to drink from a dish, eating sure, drinking no, and he's playing and using the bathroom, everything is going okay. A little touch of diarrhea from the antibiotics, very mild though.
I never used to be such a worry wort. I really didn't. Now every time he sneezes my heart stops for half a second. I'm going to bite all my nails off with worry until he's pronounced better.
On the forth, when I saw his third eyelid up, I just about had a heart attack, so I took him in to our new vet early yesterday. He assured me Oliver will be fine, but I can't help worrying. What should I look out for with my new baby?
