Update on the Lil' Dirty Dozen for those interested.

According to my vet, the cat cold/flu this year has been particularly bad with the cats getting sicker and for longer. The kittens I took from the shelter last month had colds that lasted about 3 weeks and they were on Amoxi and Teramycin for all that time and beyond. One of them even had frequent nosebleeds that worried both the vet and me. The stresses these kittens, and your cat and kittens, have been through really plays havoc with their ability to cope with their illness.

I didn't wear protective clothing as such, I simply got very, very cheap loose pants and long sleeve tops from a thrift shop, added old socks, and wore a clean one of those outfits each time I went into Thor's room. We are all going to be holding our breath and sending many positive thoughts that you can get through all this with all of you well.

You might be able to get some cheap scrubs from a uniform supply or medical supply.

Did you know that instead of getting the cat cold medicine from the vet for a high price you can just use a small amount of Pepto Bismol? They use the same sort of thing, its jsut that the stuff they give you has the taste damped down a bit so as not to annoy the kitties.

Just a little tip I learned from a friend. Maybe that could help you save on expences, since kitty cold medicine doesn't give you much and it costs so much. Pepto Bismol is cheep and such, and they actually come in big bottles! XD lasts longer for a fraction of the price!
teehee, I sound like a marketer.

Just an idea to help you save money.
