Hello. I recently have gotten a cute little kitten (about 3 weeks old). I had him for less then a week when I started to notice that he was having little coughing fits. At first I dismissed it as a hair ball, but eventually became worried and made an appointment with the vet.
The vet gave me disheartening news. She said that it was in fact not a hair ball, but perhaps could be a numerous amount of things. She said he may have anything from a cold to a respiratory infection or even leukemia. Despite only having my kitten for a short while, I broke down. She took some test and said she will get back to me either tomorrow or Friday.
This news is terribly difficult to me to take. I have been given medication to give him but have to force feed him through a syringe for him to take it. He wont eat at all. When I look at him, he seems miserable and I can barley stand it. He likes to hid under our coffee table curled up.
I'm scared for the worst, and can't even imagine having to lose him or go through the heartache of having him put down. He just looks so tired. How can I help to make him feel as comfortable as possible?
