Upper Respiratory Infections...

Sobe, that's something else I didn't mention...

When we got the kitten from the SPCA he was fine, no sign of illness. The next day he was sick. Obviously the infection was dormant. Our vet told us the same thing - it can flare up at anytime, or when the animal in under stress.

We had him for almost 3 years before it flared up again. We did the same things to help him through it as we did when he was a kitten, and he made it through it in about 3-5 days without antibiotics. He was an absolute, pathetic furball while he was sick though. He didn't want to eat or drink - I had to give it to him with a syringe.

So as long as you follow your vet's instructions and give your kitty lots of TLC, he should be better before you know it!
