I found a little kitty that the vet said is probaby 4 weeks old. His mother is feral. His eyes were swollen, third eyelid halfway across both eyes. I took him to vet (on Monday) who gave him clavamox and terramycin ointment. He continued to get worse, so I took him back on Friday and he switched both antibiotics. I put the little guy in a small bathroom with a vicks steamer and a clothes steamer (intermittantly). He just sounds terrible. He is breathing through his mouth because his little nose is so stuffed up. His eyes seem a bit better today (kind of look like they did when I found him as opposed to swelled shut the other day). I am wondering if I am prolonging the inevitable, or can he get better? I don't want to make him suffer. It has been 1 week since I found him and started antibiotics. I am feeding him softened kitten chow in baby food meat. Forcing water. Oh, AND he is constipated. I have been giving him olive oil mixed with food. He does eat quite a bit, little guy is just miserable. In the meantime I have been trying to keep him away from my house kitties so they don't get sick.
