Hi ,y kitten recently had a case of upper respiratory infection. I took him to the emergency vet and they gave him iv shot of antibiotics and also tested him feline leukemia which came back negative. He is not sneezing or hacking anymore but he still can't jump up onto a futon that is only 12 inches off the ground and he will only walk a few feet at a time then lays back down. Could he possibly be that weak from the infection that he can't do anything?

id say the little thing is still weak from the infection. try giving him a week or so and see how he does. but if he gets really lathargic, i would take him back to the vet and tell them hes still not recovering like he should

Take him back to the vet for a recheck. Before it is to late. He might need another shot of antibiotics.

yes he is still weak. His lungs are still weak and it takes a while for him to get his strength back. if this keeps up I would revisit the vet.

You have to wait...the poor thing must be so weak that he needs time to be back the he was before.
