Hi,
I am hoping I can get some advice to help me either understand I'm worried for nothing, or to bring my kitten in to the vet.
Mid-September, I adopted two kittens from a shelter. They seemed healthy when we first agreed to adopt and were able to bring them home a few days later after one was neutered - we wanted to bring them home on the same day. Quickly we realized they were sick with URI, and also one had pinkeye. My girl is who I am worried about. She did 10 days of antibiotic, then seemed fine for a while, then got sick again and got a shot and seemed to improve. Her brother had pneumonia/chlamydia at this time as well.
She got a convenia (I know, many aren't fans) shot 11 days ago that was supposed to last two weeks. Now she has a eye that seems to be bugging her. It's got a clear discharge and she is squinting and cleaning it a lot. I don't see cloudiness or a scratch. Now I'm convinced she's being less playful and a little reclusive. I have heard a few sneezes (like, one late afternoon and another in the evening). Eating and drinking and using the box just fine. Do I bring her in again? I am torn...I have spent $500+ on them in 6 weeks on top of the adoption fee and don't want to go in if this is just healing OR a watery eye. Help! I am not trying to be cheap either, but I'm honestly not sure if I am being paranoid. I don't feel like I know their true personalities with them being sick and/or on meds almost the whole time we've had them home.
