First off, I want to thank you all so very much for your prayers.
Okay, the vet said he has a slight URI. Now, he told me that it is a viral infection and because it is a virus, there are no antibiotics for it, that it just has to ride its course. Just like the first vet had told me. But, if he should develope a secondary infection, then he will need antibiotics. He was 1.2 lbs last thursday, tonight he weighed 1 lb. He has NO fever, which he said was good and gave me some ointment for his little eye. He brought out a tin of kitten food and put some down about 3 feet away from Popeye. Well, he got a whiff of that and went straight for it and started to eat. The vet said that was good because he isn't too stuffed up if he could smell it. He also said that he wasn't worried about him because he is still eating, hasn't stopped completely, his stool is good, no dirrahea and he isn't sneezing. Just to keep an eye on him.
I just hope and pray that my other cats don't get it because the vet said the virus is airborne.
The people who do rescue work, please, please give me some encouraging words, so I don't get too down about this.![]()
