I took my 13 week old kitten to an animal clinic yesterday and the vet prescribed 4cc's 2x's daily of augmentin. what is it used for ? Last night and today she is extremely congested I can hear it in her lungs. why didn't vet take x-ray to see if it's pneumonia. She's not playing, eating, or wanting to drink water. I think she justy having a hard enough time just breathing. I'm scared for her. i'm angry because we were there just yesterday and it all should have been looked into then. Now the poorthing has to go back and wait hours to be seen again. How can you tell if it is pneumonia? She won't even put her head down to sleep. She keeps her head up and back a little maybe because it helping her to get air in her passages!?
