Giving antibiotics to a 1-week-old kitten without professional guidance is extremely dangerous and could be fatal. Here's why:
* Dosage: Kitten dosages are significantly different from adult cat dosages. An incorrect dose can cause serious health issues.
* Type of antibiotic: The specific type of antibiotic needed depends on the kitten's diagnosis. A veterinarian will determine the correct antibiotic based on the infection.
* Underlying health conditions: A 1-week-old kitten may have underlying health conditions that need to be considered before administering any medication.
Please contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal clinic right away. They can assess your kitten's condition, determine the appropriate treatment, and ensure your kitten receives the proper care.
