Maybe you could get your vet to call in and get benedryl compounded into a cream like Michelle and I did. If it's allergies it could help. Eating so much could still be just because he's not used to having food available. I had one I brought in who would eat until he threw up for over a year.........

Good advice - well actually I did taken him to a vet. Solution was 1)
amoxi, and if that didn't work 2) pred. I've dealt with a lot of URI
stuff, usually Lysine does the trick. Somehow the pred doesn't sound like
something I want to do just yet - like a last resort thing.
A second vet suggested the antihistamine.
I'm curious to see if anyone else has had this situation. He's a young
kitty living in my house.
Thanks for your reply!
