Please do not allow any Veterinarian to inject your kitten with Convenia antibiotic (can also go by other names). This drug has killed cats & kittens and there is a Facebook Page dedicated to this. So many vets will swear by this drug for even the simplest malady such as even a little conjunctivitis of the eye. Once it is injected there is nothing you can truly do if there is a reaction as it remains in their system for 65 days with nothing to counteract the reaction. Some become lethargic and come out of it while others continue on with ‘failure to thrive’ and die. We have seen this cause liver failure and extreme liver enlargement as the liver tries to filter this drug from their system. As this point we know of 2 kittens who passed away in this manner and adult cats who suffered for months before getting somewhat over the reaction, though never back to what they were.
This is promoted to owners as being easy for them as its one shot and done. However, it may be your kitten that ends up ‘done’.
