How long is it since his vaccination?

Some time they have a reaction, but this is usually within 24 hours of having a vaccine. You are going to the vet so they will give you something for it.. might be a little flu, you are doing the best thing taking him to the vet!

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!

Not the best thing to do to send a kitten on his way after just having a vaccination, normally a breeder will have it done at 12 weeks and then the baby goes to his new home at 13 weeks.. it sounds like he might have a touch of flu... but the vet will tell you for sure. has he had a vaccine including Chlamydia do you know?

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.

You have an appointment anyway at the vets, so at least after you have been this will put your mind at rest, this is the most stressful time for a kitten and if they are carrying something this is when they will shed it.. 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.

If you are happy with him then just tell her/ him that, but let her know what the symptom are maybe her other babies are having the same? or maybe she could as a precaution take the rest of the babies back to the vet!

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