Hi! I have 10 week old kitten Romeo who was fine when I left for work this morning (eating, playing with my other kitten). We do know that both kittens have upper respiratory infections bc we acquired them from a shelter and vet put both on Lysine. My other kitten seems to be doing much better- he’s also 2 weeks older. Last night Romeo seemed like he was really stuffed up but he was still playing and eating. I gave them both Homepet feline nasal decongestant mixed in with food this morning which I thought seemed to be helping them. (They’ve been getting for about a week now.). Just now when I got home from work I immediately knew something was wrong bc Romeo didn’t come flying down the stairs with his brother. And I was right. He’s lethargic, not eating, standing still staring down. I’m currently holding him and he’s curled up in my arms not moving. Should I call vet tonight or is this something I should wait until the morning to address? If it’s the infection, vet has told me both kittens need to build up immune system and too young for antibiotics. Unsure if it’s something else, though? My husband seems to think it may be infection hitting Romeo harder than my other kitten. so sad for my little guy.
