Lilly the birman is feeling somewhat better, but unfortunately she
came home with a dose of the flu. Even though every single one of our
cats is inoculated against cat flu, they seem to be dropping like
flies(

Lilly is on antibiotics, & I have an appointment to take Belle, the
mother of our 4 tiny kittens to see our new practice this afternoon
@5.40 GMT.
One of the kittens is coughing, but we are at our Witt's and as to how
to isolate a kitten that is so young (1week and 4days old!!).
Mother only seems to be sneezing presently, & we have had her isolated
from the other cats since the day Lilly got home, just in case this
might happen.
Biffy the big fat blue Birman seems to be affected the worst, & he is
also isolated too, but it looks rather like he might have already
passed it on to Tazzy, our seal point Ragdoll, who's pen is along side
biffy's.
I am taking both Belle, the mother of kittens & her baby's later, as
well as Biffy & also Taz as well;thankfully so far Tiggy is unaffected
and also in isolation. Ringo shows no sign of it at all, & neither
does Lucy(fur!), but we are running out of places to isolate them all.
More news update later...

lucy and ringo are hardy street urchins who have probably built a
strong immune system from lving on the streets all those years and
fending for themselves, that is prob why they have not been afflicted.

apart fromthat how is lilly doing? any more pictures? i checked out
the rcvs site yesterday and it' scode of professional conduct makes
interesting reading. basically your old vet is in serious breach of
several of their rules and they do have a complaints proceudre you can
follow, I seriously urge you to talk to them as soon as you can when
you have got over this latest crisis. have a look at the website
please
www.rcvs.org.uk

fingers crossed you sort out this latest drama, poor little angels,
purrs from jessie who is sending them from the radiator hammock bed
she has finally decided to use.
