I have had a similar experience with upper respiratory disease. About six years ago my family got a couple of kittens (twins!), and one of them was really sick. We went a similar route (minimum expense, maximum TLC) on advice from our vet because the tests might not do anything other than make the poor cat miserable; whereas giving him general antibiotics and loving him up would at least make him happy (our vet said that of his other clients who had dealt with this situation the majority had chosen to do the same thing, and the pets usually were the better for it --> hey, if you are syringe feeding/hydrating the little guy he *knows* it's love; I can make my cats do *anything* if I give them water from an eye dropper they love it so much). Not that it means much, but I think you are doing the right thing (Rusty, my sickie, got stronger every day until it was like he was never sick). Piff is a real little beauty.
