He was so weak and frail, has dropped loads of weight, wouldn't eat or drink anything, tried to puke and couldn't.....just bad. He was very dehydrated, has a bad upper respiratory infection and had a high fever they gave him fluids under his skin, gave him a shot of antibiotics that will last 2wks, and a shot of steriods to held too. Poor baby!

Convenia is really a wonderful drug :-)

I am sure your kitty will be feeling 100% in another few days :-)

Yep Give it another day or so. He still can't smell so what you wanna do is feed him the smelliest nasty wet food possible. Even a can of tuna if needed :-)

nope but i'm wondering. If he isn't better in a day or two I'm gonna take him to our regular vet and have him tested. At the ER it was a $50 test! I had another kitty who had FIV and she was real lazy acting too......more so than most cats.
