I adopted an 8 month old male kitten on Tuesday night, the day he was neutered. He arrived in my home healthy (so I thought) happy, energetic. He ate that night and drank water. The next day he began sneezing. He didn't eat much, maybe a few licks of wet food. Thursday he had nasal discharge with the sneezing and didn't eat at all. Friday he began drooling and we took him to the vet. She diagnosed him with a URI but couldn't explain the drooling. He has no ulcers or sores in his mouth or any other dental or mouth problems. We force fed him last night which didn't go well. We had him back at the vet today and she was still puzzled by the drooling. She took a white blood cell count which was on the low side of normal. She was concerned about distemper, but he has his vaccine in the shelter. While at the vet he had diarrhea for the first time since all this started. She gave him medicine for that and told us to rub karo syrup on his gums if we couldn't get any food into him. When he attempts to use the litter box he does eliminate but he cries. I have not heard of diarrhea or issues using the litter box with a URI. Could someone please shed some light on what this may be? I'm going to give the little guy one more night (he had an injection of antibiotics Friday) but I don't want to see him suffer. However I will always ask myself what went wrong if I don't find some answers as to what it may be. Thank you for any help and advice!
