Dear Filou, I am also very late to this thread and I am so sorry to hear you have been sick.

When you stop giving headbumpies, we put you straight to bed and put a thermometer in your............well, in your case we can't do it by mouth

I hope that the reports get better and better. What a good boy to get all of those pills down.

When it is very hot here, I put ice cubes in Rascal's water dish.
He seems to love it. Could you do this for Filou and maybe it might make his throat feel better?

Barbara, please keep us posted on his progress. I just hate it when our kitties are sick!
