Not long back.  All three were back at the vet this evening.  Lubo and Lenny continue to make some progress although Lenny seems to have a very bulky tummy which could indicate he has diarhhea (?).  Loki is not so good and if no better first thing in the morning is being admitted and will spend the day on a drip to see if this will pick him up.

Vet no longer thinks they have consumed something they should not have.  They now think its gastroenteritis (infection).

Need to continue to keep an eye on Lubo and Lenny and not give them any normal food - vet seems concerned they may relapse a bit if we try to rush their return to normal food. Loki is refusing to eat anything (even sensitive stomach food) and his last vomit (15 mins ago) was yellow bile only.  Not even sure if he has been to the toilet today so will need to monitor him closely.  :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Poor lads. Hope they feel better soon, it's horrid when they are are unwell.

I know this won't be much help. but , if it was only one then in one way it would be more of a worry, with all 3 boys then is has come from the same source.  Hope you know where I am coming from, I haven't explained it very well.

Give the boys a hug from me xxxxxxx

So glad they are feeling a bit better now and fingers crossed that they continue to get well  :Luv: Dylan sends gentle head butts to them all and Hobbes sends very loud purrs (they are the only sort of purrs he has - think he needs a volume control  ;D) you take care too Linda, it's frightening when you don't know what's wrong, lots of :hug: to you.

Everyone is feeling better this morning  :)  Not quite bouncing but much more alert.  Now being offered teaspoon amounts of sensitive stomach food (supplied by the Vet).  Hopefully this will be fine and recovery will take place quickly.

I managed to sleep to so am feeling much less emotional today  :)

Thanks soo much to everyone x

I hope the bengal boys had a good night and are feeling better this morning.  Hope you managed to get some rest too, Linda.  You must be exhausted - not just with all the toing and froing to the vets and the cleaning up, but from the stress as well.

Thanks everyone, I've just been looking through the posts from today.  I'm overwhelmed by the caring and support everyone has shown both me and the boys over the past 24 hours. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, don't know what I would do without you all.  

Hopefully will get the boys to bed soon (all being well) and head for a nice long hot soak, a cup of tea and a cuddle with furry purry Nova.   :)

Oh Linda, I can understand you feeling teary. It's such a horrible worry. But it sounds as if they are turning the corner, thank goodness. Why don't you pour yourself a drink, put your feet up and have a little cry if you want to?

Finally looks like we have managed to stop the sickness!!!!  Had to take them back to the vet again today as they were continuing to vomit and getting really weak.  They are all curled up together sleeping for now which is a good sign as they were dotted all around the house in seperate rooms earlier (wanting to be left alone I think). Next few hours will be crucial, they are getting a bit more dehydrated now and I've put water down and am encouraging them to drink.

Unfortunately no further forward on tracking down the source.  Been too busy with the boys and cleaning up as you can imagine.  I'm really knackered now and feeling quite teary.  :(  At least the boys have stopped being sick for now !

Helen - what has happened to Tiggy's picture?

EDITED:  She has been found safe and well and has been returned!

Thank goodness for that! I have a soft spot for Tiggy because she reminds me of my first (long departed) cat Ginger.  Her struggles with CRF and Hyper-T also remind me of my bridge baby Tiny (who didn't die of either of those two conditions).

Now all we need is to hear that Linda's Bengal babes are also safe and well.  Fingers crossed.
