What can you do, might pay to ask the vet if babe could have inj form of baytril to kick start the course at least it has had one days coverage to get it going,seems a bit strange to say its healthy if it has a cold because it isn't,healthy is when there is nothing wrong & it obviously came from the breeder with it,if you can tuck little one into a towel could you get the quarter of a tablet straight down the hatch,if you give it a go remember to hold across the head quite firm & tip head right back,sounds hard but basically he needs to be looking at the ceiling to get a good shot at it... Remember with food they have to smell it to eat it so with a blocked up nose like that he won't be so tempted & most probaly wet would go down a lot easier than dry, just warming it through a bit will give off a lot stronger smell. Put him on some extra vitamins as well you can get some special kitty ones,whatever you can get into him at this point will help build him up....
As for the poo coming home that was bad luck bless him,most probaly it was only the journey,I picked up my first babe at a halfway mark & ended up in the ladies toilets using the hand soap to bath his bottom end.
At least he sounds a happy little fella if he is still playing & hopefully you can soon get him sorted out,fingers crossed for both of you & that you can soon get some serious bonding going....xxx

Hes 3 months old. Hes had 2 of his 3 dose vaccine. The breeder said if he had both vaccines by 12 weeks old, usually they dont need a 3rd. My vet said hed like to do a 3rd next month anyway. I burritoed him earlier and tried the liquid again. I think he swallowed most of it. He did a little drool but not like the first try. I am going to buy a pill shooter tonight.
