I adopted two kitties about a month ago. I noticed they were sneezing but thought it was just allergies. I took them to the vet and it turns out they have an upper respiratory infection which is common in kittens.
I first gave them doxycycline for 2 weeks but it didn’t help so now I’m giving them some antiviral. Their eyes are getting worse though, it looks super red around them (not in the eye itself but the part that circles it). I’m trying to give them Terramycin but I’m afraid their eyes are just getting worse. It’s been almost a month and one kitty’s fever went away and they’re both gaining weight but still sneeze a little and have diarrhea and their eyes just look awful to me.
Is it possible they have something other than a URI? They’re FelV negative. They don’t act unhealthy but I don’t know if they should be eating more (they do eat but not a ton).
I’m just worried it’s something worse, I’ve never taken care of kittens on my own before. I don’t know if I just need to be more patient or if I should get a second opinion. I’m just worried their eyes look worse and it is so hard to give the expensive ointment, I feel like I wasted half of it and nothing even got in their eyes
