Adopting and Calici Virus
by: Kathy M on Thu, Jul 23 2009

I had a one year old cat that was adopted and then adopted another younger one several months later. For the first few days they just stayed away from each other. But when the older cat seemed out of sorts, I took him to the vet. It turned out that he had a temp of 102, ulcers in his mouth and was diagnosed with Calici Virus. The vet said it was a good thing that I knew his personality as well as I did and didn’t ignore the first signs of him behaving differently. He didn’t really appear sick. But if this had gone untreated, he would have become very ill. The vet said strays and rescue cats and kittens can be carriers of this virus and pass it along even though they have no signs of the virus themselves. My older cat was sick for a good five days even on medication. Just a head’s up for anyone bringing a new kitty into their home.

    I foster and care for multiple cats and kittens. A month or so ago I had 3 litters of kittens who were all around 10-12 weeks old. They had all had their moments of runny eyes and a few were quite small. But everyone seemed to be doing fine at the time. [more..]
  • My cat’s pneumonia - by cld - (Mon, Jul 13 2009)
    A normal, healthy cat. Later at the vet X-rays showed she had a healthy stomach, liver, and kidneys. Five years old. Spunky, alert, never been sick. It stated with noticing she was lying out of the way, behind furniture. I would move her and pet her, but she would go back there later. Two days later she seemed to have stopped eating and drinking. I fixed her an area in the cooler bedroom and she stayed there. [more..]
