Hi all, just wanted a bit of reassurance really.We went yesterday to pick up our new baby Sebastian and all semmed well but since we got up this morning his eye seems a bit wet and he keeps sneezing,other than that he is eating and playing!I was wondering if it might be something to do with his vaccinations or something more sinister?He is booked into the vets tomorrow but im still concerned.
How long is it since his vaccination?Quote:

His vaccination card has yesterdays date on,so must have had it early as we picked him up at 11.00 I had been under the impression he was having it a few days before we had him,but not sure now!

I dont think so,his vaccination card just says nobivac tricat trio??!
Just asked because the Nobivac forcat has been giving a few reactions to Chlamydia.Quote:

Have you rung the breeder? because they do like to know if something is not right, and its best to tell them now anyway, in case the kittens they have left or other kitten that are soon going to their new homes.. develop similar symptoms!!
No i have not rang her,didnt want her to think i was not happy with him but i will so she can keep an eye on the others.Thanks
Good luck, with your new baby, you are doing the right thing taking him to the vets, could be something and nothing, but best to knock it on the head now, eyes are precious things and it does not take long for eye infections to go very wrong, bath it with either a little cold tea if you feel it can not wait until tomorrow.Quote:

Poor little Sebastian! Good luck at the vet's tomorrow... I hope he gets well soon.:smile:
