We Have An Epidemic :(

This is going to sound odd, but have you had your water tested recently? Maybe there is some contaminant in your water supply which is causing the inflammation. One (expensive, but cheaper than going to the vet!) is buying several gallons of bottled water, and use that to water the cats for a few weeks.

This sounds like a good idea.

Also, if steroids help, you can mail-order them from Wedgewood Pharmacy - some are available in Gourmeds treats, Tiny Tabs, or even transdermal (ear gel in a pen). I give Smudge the latter, and it's really not expensive at all, even with postage.

The only other thing I can think of is kitten food to keep their weight up. Good luck, and please keep us posted!

Was thinking along the same lines. If their tests are all negative and they are indoor cats has something changed in their environment that could have brought it on? May not be contagious just something that they are all reacting to? Poor kitties (and Mom) - really hope the cause is found soon
