Double Purrs Needed

Well, the good news is that Meg is a lot better - her coat is sleek
again, she's eating and drinking properly and playing again.

Unfortunately, Fudge and Caramel have now come down with the same
initial symptoms, not eating and vomiting froth - fortunately no
mouth ulcers as yet.

Fudge started overnight on Wednesday, so I took her to the vet
yesterday. Caramel started overnight last night.

The vet is now of the opinion that they have some sort of virus,
possibly Calici, though they have all been vaccinated against it -
maybe there is a new strain.

The vet has done a full blood works on Fudge, including the tests for
FIP and Leukemia, and everything has come back clear. She did have a
little bit of a temperature which also suggests a virus.

He has given her an anti-inflammatory injection to try and stimulate
the eating, and a course of anti-biotics to fight any bacterial
infection that might start, like ulcers.

I will be speaking to the vet this morning about Caramel, and she
will probably start the same anti-biotic course.

Hopefully, by catching it this early, we should prevent them having
to go through the hospitilisation.

So if there are any spare purrs etc about I think Fudge and Caramel
would appreciate them as they are both feeling a bit rough.

Thanks,
Kate.

Purrs to all the kids!

I took Simon back to the vet yesterday morning and the abcesses he had in
the back of his mouth and roof of his mouth were gone.... the deep cracks(on
the back of tongue) were still there... BUT he now has a huge abcess on the
front of his tongue .....she gave him two super dupper shots. If he doesn't
show improvement by Saturdays recheck she will have to knock him out and
take a tongue biospy...
Thankfully, he's gained another 5 ounces and some of his fur is growing
back.......
Oh, and I forgot to mention....the vet ruled out Calicivirus.....I just want
my Simon well....sighhhhhhhh.... :-)Liz (remove the fur if responding in
