We just adopted a 6-month old kitten from a shelter (somehow I felt that he was younger than that, but there's no proof). The vet record looked fine but I didn't see deworming on it. I tried to schedule a wellness check-up with my vet, but unfortunately they're moving offices and cannot see him for another month.
He has been eating, sleeping, using the litter box, and playing normally for the past week. My other two residents cat took a bit of time to get along with him. There was some hissing and growling after he came out of the isolated room. But now they play together, with my resident girl occasionally smacking him (playfully most of the time).
Today I noticed that his eyes are a bit watery with some discharge in the corner. He has had soft stools sometimes but I took it as normal since I switched his food after the adoption (the shelter has been giving him Friskies and the cheapest kibble. Now I give him high quality wet food with a bit of raw food).
Is this a serious problem that I should consult a vet immediately about? I'm hoping to take him to my vet for the checkup in any case. But if it can't wait, I will need to find another place for an appointment.
