To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Adopting and Calici Virus 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. July 2009
