NOT experienced in URI's need your help..

[Laura's Babies]

While Jax has improved a lot, he still sneezes a lot but not as much as before, just now and then... However Jaz is really sick, sicker than he was and she has scared me several times to the point I was ready to run her to the ER vet but waited it out...

Yesterday, I figured to spend the day cleaning and sanitizing the rest of the house, scrubbing down everything kitten high with bleach water, spraying the cage real good and leaving it out in the sun to dry, moping the house with bleach, etc.. in a effort to keep it from spreading.. I didn't get half of what I wanted to do done.. I found I could not get down and get up without getting so dizzy I almost passed out a couple of times.. Almost blacked out twice and it scared me so bad I gave up..

That made me realize I am in way over my head and I am not able to do this. With my dizzy/balance problem, I have no business doing this so I sent Blaine a email last night and told her she will have to make other arrangements for the J's... She is coming to get them today after adoption day is over...

I hate having to do this, they are so cute and so sweet and Caramella was SO happy having real playmates but now instead of having a real live buddy to play and snuggle with, she has to do this now.. She misses them so bad..It breaks my heart to see her doing this and she is so clingy to me now.

Havoc had what appeared to be a recurring URI that went on for like 6 months (off and on, with antibiotics). I was getting suspicous of the diagnosis because URI's are extrememly contagious, yet Toby never so much as sneezed a single time. I was on my 3rd vet when he determined my boy had plain old seasonal allergies. I gave him one last heavy round of antibiotics to knock any lingering infection caused by the mucus buildup, and then switched to over-the-counter allergy pills that are super-cheap and only used as needed. I also bought a table-top air filter thingy that helped a whole lot. I just used the air filter thingy for almost a year and the pills on rare occasions (maybe once a month) and didn't have a problem for almost a year. He started sneezing a bit a few weeks ago, but I give him a "booger" pill and he's good for a few days now.

I don't know how long you have until the J's go elsewhere but you might look into an air filter in with the room with the sickest one...just in case. The thing I bought was like 30 bucks and I don't know how I lived without it.
