URGENT help needed for kitten...

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

That's what I was thinking too. If he can't even breathe well enough to breathe out of his nose, he probably can't smell the food and won't want to eat it. =]

He's doing good. Took his medicine without too much of a fight and continues to eat like a champ! Doc said he was dehydrated so I've been trying to get him to drink water, but sometimes I have to use the dropper just so I know he's getting SOMETHING into his system.

He's such a cuddler. He wants nothing more than to be snuggled into the crook of your arm, wherever you might be.

And he has started to play! He's not so lethargic anymore, so he plays with some of the toys we got him. It made me SO happy to see that kitty jump and do a little backflip in the air after the cat teaser toy.

So far, so good! He's back to the vet in two weeks (not next Monday, but the Monday after) to possibly get vaccinated and so they can make sure he's doing better.

Thanks for all the support! I must say, a person has quite the sense of accomplishment when you are able to nurse something back to health, lol.

Try adding a bit more water to his food. make it a bit soupier. ...that way you don't have to be making him drink from the dropper.

In the wild most of a cat's water will come from the muscle tissue of its prey, rather than through drinking.

It is such an amazing feeling nursing something back to health!!! Not just the sense of accomplishment, but how grateful the being is to be alive. Congrats!
