It seems we now have a viral outbreak amongst my cats!
At least 4 more have come down with this cough, sneeze virus!!!!
I was up ALL night keeping a close eye on Tucker and Hallie, and checking regularly to see who else was symptomatic. This is very bad and I'm so scared ..... especially for the 6 kittens!!!!!
I isolated them from the others, I just hope it isn't too late!!!! I'm just sitting here waiting for my vets office to open this morning ... hoping he will have some "good" solution to this????
I'm thinking about asking him to make a house call and do whatever he can for everyone. I have done some research online all night and it sounds like they have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis. (FVR) or also known as Feline Herpes Virus I.
From what I have read, even cats that have been vaccinated against this can still get the "wild" form .... also, if they were ever exposed to it before, they can be carriers and shed the virus to others even though they don't show any symptoms!!!! Stress.... such as overcrowding can bring it on. I feel so negligent and responsible for this whole mess ... I've really done it this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
