I am sorry, that I don't have any real advice.
However, Russian Blue gave me a site that has a forum for asking questions about kitty health issues. I went there and will post my question one of these days. However, one of, or the person who started the board is a vet tech and will answer questions.
The link to the site is:

Maybe someone there can give you a better answer, then I can.
Good luck and keep us updated.
Prayers for Julie on the way. I hope the little girl feels well soon.
