I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that you'll be able to find out what's causing this and that it can be easily treated. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I don't have alot of time to update, as it is I'm supposed to be doing something else then head to bed. But I wanted to update you guys on my two torties.

After Sassy turning down food last night and this morning as well as breathing fast and growling at everyone including hubby (who she loves) I was in a panic. Add to that Sabrina turning down breakfast and doing the vomiting again.

Anyways poor Sassy had a temp of over 104!! Sabrina's was only slightly above normal. The consenses was that they have a virus they're passing around. They spent the day at work with me today and got injections of cortisone and antibiotics, and already they're eating better, and keeping the food down for the last two feedings.

I'm just trying to keep the peace because I let both of them out of confinement and the trio of sibs aren't getting along at the moment. I'm hoping they'll be ok to leave out overnight, otherwise I'll have to shut a couple of them in again for a while longer.

I was also told to keep a watch on everyone else. If anyone else starts to get sick I can just pick up the medication if anyone needs it.

Hopefully this will be the last of it and everyone will go back to being healthy and getting along.

Thank you guys again for the PT prayers. My kittes and I very much appreciate all of you.

*PS I'll try to get a chance online tomorrow night and post those pix of Sabrina I took and maybe get a few of Sassy for you.

Here's hoping that you and the furkids have been through the worst of it now and that things will be back to normal soon.

Well at least you know what it is now and hopefully they will be over it quickly with no more outbreaks.

Wonder how they got a virus? Do they go outside?

Wonder how they got a virus? Do they go outside?

No they are basically indoor cats. I say 'basically' because they do occasionally go outside on a leash or into the Katzenhaus outside, but always supervised.

Most likely I brought the virus home from work on my clothes or hair. We've had alot of sick cats come in recently.

My furbabies update:

So far they've been doing pretty good. Sassy didn't want lunch today, but ate all her other meals and kept them down. Sabrina has ate every meal and kept it down. Neither are eating quite as much as they had before, but eating a fair amount enough I'm not overly worried at this point. I'm just happy they're not vomiting.

Bad news is Josh got all bent out of shape over them smelling like 'vet' and started having a literal 'hissy' fit. So now he's the one shut in the spare room, and he's not happy about it. He keeps meowing pittifully and bouncing up trying to turn the doorknob, but I have to keep him in there until he gets lonely enough he'll not try to attack everyone in the house. *sigh*

Oh and add to the stress....Today I got bit a little bit by a cat, and of all things it was already muzzled!!! I say bit a 'little bit' because it's only a tiny puncture, and feels about like when I accidentally poke myself with a needle. I'm thinking that since this is the 3rd time I've gotten bitten at work, and twice in the same year I'm going to update my tetnaus shot this week. *sigh*

Thank you everyone for your prayers for my furbabies. It must be working because they seem to be doing alot better.
