Hello! I have a 7 week old Sphynx kitten who got sick the day after he came into my care. I thought it was an upper respiratory infection, and he has been on antibiotics but no change. One of his eyes has been watering (clear, no yellow or green), and he has sneezing fits often. His breathing is labored because he is too congested to breathe out of his nose well and has been mouth breathing. I took him to the vet and they told me they thought he may have bronchitis/asthma and was given a steroid injection. I was told he should be feeling better within a day, but he still sounds exactly the same. He is eating fine and using the restroom, still playful, but I’m worried. I read from the drug manufacturer that it could take a few days to see results. Should I give it a little more time or take him back to the vet for further testing? Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, what ended up being the problem, and what helped? TIA!
