Hi Caroline,
I can't answer your Q (tho I'd imagine the infectious period is well
over) but just wanted to say how wonderful that your little foster is
doing so well in your home. Yup, I've no doubt all the love and care
he's getting from you was the cure. What a lucky kitty that he found
you.
If he were at my house, I'd probably go ahead and mix him with the
others. They've probably already been exposed anyhow. Sounds like
he's responded well to your loving care. FYI - I also had good luck
with a dose or two of Zithromax for kittens with URI.
