Very sick kitten

My kitten is very sick I just took him to the vet today, he has the herpies virius ( people cant get it ) and he has ear mites and a cold or something. its horrible. his eye is swollen up and cant drink any water without getting it up his nose, and its so hard to see this happening. I just got him from a shelter where they told me he was a she and that “ she “ wasnt sick or anything. But I dont care anymore I just want him to get better, but the question is I cant tell if he is cold or just scared, hes shivering, I have him wrapped up in an old towel and I keep him by my side. I just have no idea whats wrong.

Answer #1

my kitten is in very good health now. hes doing amazing just as if he was never sick. :) thank you for all the help. <3

Answer #2

TAKE HIM TO A VET ASAP!!! But for drinking if its a kitten till you can get to a vet give him milk in and eye dropper and if he pukes it up stop and give him water, because I know my kitten is allergic to milk now, but try the milk first with a eyes dropper, do not force his head in the bowl, and he could have a cold, but the best thing to do is keep him in a warm, dark quite environment and keep a close eye on him. And make sure he gets protein and food, let him eat tuna for a while, or the better thing is, give him chicken and rice but don’t force him to eat it. Try not to keep him wrapped up too much or when you take him out of the blanket he will get cold, just keep him in a warm, quiet, and dark place and treat the ear mites, they can effect his health severely, and don’t let him get disturbed to much let him rest, but when you can GET HIM TO A VET!!!

if you whent to the vet take him back because they should have done something like put him on meds(whitch is good that they did) made him stay over night then hooked him up to an I’ve you nees to go back hes most likely dehydrate you need 2 take him back 2 the vet mail me if he gets better thanx

Answer #4

yeah they gave him the meds and showed me how to do them and cant give them to him again until tmrw. I’ve had a cat for 14 years but I never had to deal with this before its real scary. ill try the dropper with the water because I dont want him sicker from not eating or anything. thanks! :)

Answer #5

what did the vet say? and force him to drink put his face in it or get a dropper and put it in his mouth and squeeze the dropper. did he give you meds? and its probably a little bit of both being scared and shivering. and I know how you feel I’ve had my cat for 5 years and I love him too death. and he has an ear infection maybe and if it doesnt work we know he has a tumor. but aside to that, give him his meds and if he gets worse by tomorrow take him to the vet again.

Answer #6

This Kitten needs to be in the hospital getting I’ve fluids and I’ve antibiotics with other meds and so you be a Brave girl and take it back and demand something be done. It’s life depends on how you react. Show your butt if you have too but get that kitten some treatment. Darn it all, how can they send them home in such shape. good luck and keep us posted ..on his condition.Listen I was a nurse and believe you me when it comes to stuff we love you can do most anything. I have done stuff I thought I never would have done. But it saved a life. Diane once this baby was thrown in my arms and I started CPR and that baby is grown today living a good life. so you go girl..diane
