Hi everyone,
I have a female kitten (my first ever cat) who's two months old and has cat flu and conjunctivitis. She's been to the vet who gave her a jab and prescribed some antibiotics and an eye ointment after cleaning her eyes with a specialised eye wash.
However, a few days later her first eye had cleared up, but then conjunctivitis started in the other eye (my fault, I used the same cotton pad for both eyes...). I've been applying the ointment every morning and evening, but the eye doesn't seem to be improving; it keeps closing up and sometimes gets stuck shut after a nap... She's also having a hard time taking her antibiotics; when I try giving her the daily half-tablet (doxycycline) on its own she won't take it, and if I hide it in her food (the stuff in jelly) she just leaves it aside... I called my vet because I felt like her eye was getting worse, but he told me there was no point coming back until the treatment is finished (Tuesday)... On top of that, she's still sneezing from the cat flu, but now she’s making weird noises like something is bothering her throat—I think she’s coughing... Is that linked to the cat flu? She’s still active, energetic and playful; she’s eating plenty and sleeping a lot. Thanks!
