Coccidia can make kittens very ill and it doesn't always show up in a fecal test. The symptoms you described fit with coccidia overload. What medications does your vet have the kitten on? If he is not on Albon, he should be. Coccidia can be very serious in young kittens, so I would talk to your vet about this possibility as soon as possible.

The vet thought probably Coccidia or Giardia, and he is on some medicines to treat them, as well as medicine to treat worms and to control his diarrhea. The diarrhea does seem to be getting better, although his eyes and nose are now very runny! Could this be an after effect of the parasites, or even the drugs? He is on Fenbendazole and Metronidazole for parasites and worms. Seems to me if it was rhino it would be much worse, especially considering he is so weak already, so I'm trying to figure out what else could be causing his congestion. Poor little guy, thanks for all the get well vibes!
