I adopted my new kitten, Leo, on August 10th 2019 at the age of 4 months. I took him to the vet yesterday (August 15, 2019) where he got 2 antibiotic shots, 1 at home medication, and vitamin/calorie supplements.
These are his symptoms: Refusal to eat (Syringe Feeding), his breaths per minute are averaging around 60, bad breath, Phlegm, clear nose discharge, and not grooming. Throughout this he sleeps all day, he rarely wakes up, and when he sleeps he sleep with his head propped up.
When I went to the Vet, he agreed with me that its probably an Upper Respiratory Infection, which is extremely common in newly adopted cats, as well as multi-cat household, of which I am both.
The problem is he doesn't seem to be getting better. He did drink a bit of water by himself at night, but still refuses to eat. Am I just over reacting? I know medicine doesn't work immediately but I really expected him to at least get a little better. Should I take him to my private vet, or should I wait a few days?
