I went to work last Wednesday and someone brought a kitten in that was maybe 2 days old. My guess it was born October 7th. It's body was pretty cold so I warmed him with towels from the dryer. I started feeding him a drop at a time of warm sugar water. When he perked up a bit I fed him some kitten formula. When my shift was done the kitten came home with me and I got him settled in a nice warm bed. On Thursday I noticed a wheeze. I took one of my antibiotic and crushed it with water and started him on it. Friday the wheeze was in the company of nasal discharge and the kitten seemed to struggle with breathing. I boosted the amount of antibiotic I was using and gave a little bit more. Today the discharge was gone. At work today I took some of the liquid antibiotic home and started him on the correct dose amount for his size and age. "Spunky" does nurse from a bottle very well and he nurses vigorusly he does have some good muscle tone and I do believe that if his respatory troubles go away that he has a very good chance at living. What more can I do to help him get better?
