Snickers is doing well, but today I took Leo back to the vet, I called them yesterday and made the appt., he is eating but not drinking water for some odd reason, how can he eat if his tongue hurts but not drink?

will the cats ever be over being sick? He TRIES to drink, goes to the dish, hesitates there then leaves, so I syringed some into his mouth. She gave him clavamox, like Snickers was on. and he has to be on a steroid for a while, which we both hate to see since he is overweight...I will really have to watch how much he eats. the vet thought the spot where the lesion had been, looked a little infected, it was 2 weeks ago yesterday that he had the surgery, and last week at his one week check up he was fine. I might as well sign my check right over to the vet LOL, besides I am so tired of sick cats, giving meds and watching them and worrying, I know it's not their fault poor kitty cats but it's been a bit much lately, hopefully they will be ok now, I hate to see them not well plus I want to get my other cats to the new vet for their annual shots etc.

Prayers go out to Snickers and Leo. I sure hope they make a full recovery. Calicivirus is very tricky....but can be cured! Please keep us posted.

thank you.

I think I remember reading that the feline herpes eye disease can be related to the calisi virus...or do I have that wrong? anyway Snickers(who had the calisi virus) is doing good and Leo is back to drinking water...he just wanted to see another $60.00 go to the vet LOL... poor guy was so upset over having to go to the vet again, I had told him that he was done with that for a long time...LOL and he has to go back next week for another follow up visit THEN I hope that's it. both cats are still on the L-lysine, to boost the immune system and I am starting the others on it, just to be sure they don't become sick God forbid!

cats are such a pain in the... and mine are spoiled to boot! they constantly drive me crazy, when I just get comfy with a book...MEOW! if it is not one of them it will be another one! BUT...I wouldn't have it any other way! I spoiled them after all, and I love the little critters more than I can say.

I live to serve-and spoil- my sweet cats.

I've not had experience w/this virus but I just wanted to add that prayers are going up for your kitties and you. Whenever an illness has shown itself to be stubborn, it can work on our nerves, to be sure, not to mention our wallets. I sure do hope that your kitties improve quickly and that things can get back to normal for you. Keep the faythe.

Thank you everyone

so far, as of today they are both doing fine, dare I say that, lest it jinx them again!

as I left this morning, Leo was hiding, so I thought oh no, he's hiding, he must be feeling bad again, well he ate, then I realized he is ok, just was scared it was vet time again! he panicked when he saw me getting ready to leave the house!
