My kitten has flu. Can I use her prescribed meds for my other kitten?

Question

My jolly kitten had flu and I took her to vet. However, my furr kitten boy seems he got the fever from jolly after I returned from the vet. As the Dr.said it’s normal flu between kitten, can I use the same medication and fever reducer for my Furr kitty boy? Pet's info: Cat | Egyptian Mau | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 5 days old

I would have your other cat looked at just to make sure it is safe to give those particular meds. Without seeing the patient I cannot say for sure whether or not it is safe. Your vet prescribes certain meds depending on the health of each individual animal and what is going on with them. Also, depending on the meds prescribe, some are only good for 10-14 days and are no longer effective afterwards.
