Fostering sick Kitty, what more can I do to help?

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

Yesterday I brought home a little sick kitty from my fiance’s house.  He lives on a farm, and this is a barn kitten that has an eye infection and a slight col,  runny nose, but no raspy breathing.   My fiance’s mother couldn’t bring him in the house to treat him because she already has her hands full with 2 indoor bottle baby goats, 2 other kittens with the same eye infection and her bird breeding business.

He is on a medicated eye ointment and amoxicillin, and just started treatment yesterday.  I am feeding him a wet food diet because of low weight.

What else can I do to make him for comfortable? Any tips or ideas?
