Kitten Cold

[Medusa]

Yes, I'd see if your vet will see your new kitty now and allow you to pay next week or whenever. Maybe it's best not to treat him for fleas just yet because the solutions can be harsh. See what your vet says. In the meantime, be sure to isolate him so that he doesn't spread anything such as a cold or URI to your other furkids. And btw, welcome to Pet Talk! You're gonna love it here! And thanx for the great pix of your fur family. They're all beautiful.

Please take that kitty to the vet! Pinot had a TERRIBLE respiratory virus when we first got her and I wouldn't wish that on any kitty!

Your kitties are adorable! Welcome to PT! Keep us updated!

So I've talked to both paws and the vet and they both tell me essentially the same thing - I am required to pay in full at the appointment time but I could write a check and they can hold it until a specific date. My bank account at the moment it pretty shot, and I am not comfortable in doing that. My grandmother's anniversary party is this weekend, I am considering leaving tonight and speaking to my brother who is a Paws foster parent. He may be able to get this through much cheaper and I could pay him back whenever I get the money rather than paying the whiny vets. For people who work with animals, I really don't think they hold much compassion. I'll keep everyone posted, and I appreciate the support.

Hmm, I would find another vet - I am not sure I would trust my cat with someone who wants me to post-date a check! And doesn't have the compassion to see a kitten in need!

I would most defiantly find another vet. I use 3 different vets and all 3 will treat first. Then worry about payment. But please get this cute baby checked.

Welcome to you all to Pet Talk & enjoy all the talks & pics.. The two babies are so Adorable.. I would for sure keep them seperated until the Vet (with a Heart) can check out the newest baby.. Good Luck & keep us posted..

I will definitely look for another vet but he does seem to be doing much better. His breathing seems easier, he hasn't sneezed yet today and the sweety is now following me everywhere. His eyes still seem a little bad, I've been gently stroking around them with a warm damp cloth, poor baby - I woke up this morning and he couldn't even open his eyes they were sealed shut. Anyway, he is making this post difficult by walking all over the keyboard so I will go for now. Thanks all.
