Have got Pod back home. He is still very poorly. The medication has brought his temp down a bit.
Now just got to keep close watch and hope the dose of antibiotics works for Pod & Rolo.
Pod is the biggest & always been the most healthy, yet this has hit him the worst.

He is still salavating and very weak. Worried sick, the fear i might loose my big lad

They have done blood tests. Spoke to the nurse as vet was in surgery.
All she said that his white blood cell count is high. They have given him a couple of injections (like others got)
and keeping an eye on him, and have a fan on him to keep him cool as temp still high.

Just want him back home

He's fighting the infection then if his wbc is high, poor Pod and you

he's in the best place Tina they'll be able to monitor him and bring his temperature down so he'll feel better, hope he's soon well

My vet said anything over 39 is fever. I'm sure the Covenia will bring their temps down in a few hours - that's what my vet said with Kylie - Pod is in the best place right now

Gutted... come home without big lad pod-pod

They are doing blood tests etc, he is really poorly. Temp is 40 plus.

Rolo has had the injections flora had on friday, his temp also 40plus. Rolo is not as lethargic as Pod.
And pod slavering was getting thicker & worse, he tummy was sort of convulting as if he wanted to be sick, but was'nt.

Fingers crossed the vet has some positive news today

Mark · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2009, 07:25:01 AM »

Good luck at the vet today Tina. Hopefully just a bug - different cats can have different symptoms just like people. It's horrible when our pets are sick

About 6 weeks ago, Kylie went off her food and huddled up in her house in the garden. I took her to the vet and she had a temperature. She was given a synolox jab and a week's antibiotics but she was a lot better within a day - lets hope it's the same for yours

**TINA** · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2009, 06:40:32 AM »

The visit to a & e ?
Come out with Synulox. His symptons are different to what Flora's were.
His Temp was.nt running high, so she didnt give him anything last nite.

This morning he is still salivating & doen not look well at all.

I am ringing my vet this morning. Rolo does not look well either this morning

Janeyk · « **Reply #17 on:** July 27, 2009, 06:17:30 AM »

Do hope Pod is ok

pappilon · « **Reply #16 on:** July 27, 2009, 01:00:59 AM »

Sending Pod lots of good vibes, i hope its not serious and they can treat him.

**TINA** · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2009, 23:47:50 PM »

Pod's slavering are gettin worse. His eyes are dull and sunken.

Taking him to emergency vet hospital now.

He is very unsettled.

I feel sick with worry

JackSpratt · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2009, 23:22:35 PM »

Definitely take him for a check up tomorrow if you have a feeling that it's necessary.

Glad Flora seems to be perking up.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2009, 23:12:10 PM »

you are not going to get much sleep tonight, I fear , but it must be a relief to know there is somewhere to take him/them in an emergency

Janeyk · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2009, 23:09:42 PM »

Hope all is well, I agree you need to get some help to sort the stray out too, have you tried CP? (sorry if it's on another thread)

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2009, 23:08:46 PM »

Lots of good luck vibes

**TINA** · « **Reply #8 on:** July 26, 2009, 23:06:27 PM »

I have spoke to the vet at the emergency hospital.
They have advised me to keep an eye on him & the others.
If pod becomes lethargic during the nite i can ring them & take him straight in.

Rolo is also starting to rub at his nose and just wanting to curl up for cuddles.

They are all going to be seen by the vet.

Thing thats worrying is the stray thats hanging around, he will just keep coming back.

I have a strong feeling thats how my babies have become poorly, and my lot have come into contact
with stand offs. Pod is worst with it, he wont back off.

I am going to need help to sort this stray, but can not bring it in the house.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #7 on:** July 26, 2009, 22:52:47 PM »

Definately get a vet check and tell him about the stray and stuff

**TINA** · « **Reply #6 on:** July 26, 2009, 21:39:43 PM »

The vet has a emergency hospital. Watching his every move, his eyes seem different, like sunken in, and dull.

I am worried sick, because i lost rosie, she had picked up an infection from a stray tom. and within
3 days it killed her red blood cells & they could do nothing to help her.

There is a stray here hanging about & they dont get on. (sure he is nuetered, but has no home around here)

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #5 on:** July 26, 2009, 21:28:11 PM »

I would keep a close eye on them, 2 of my cats got this and within a week one of them was dead

Not trying to scare you there just be on the look out for things like hiding away, not eating drinking ect-if they get seriously ill they will need intensive care back to health

Bryony84 · « **Reply #4 on:** July 26, 2009, 21:25:30 PM »

I think I'd try to get Pod a vets appt tomorrow, vet should know whether its likely that he has the same thing as Flora. Either way he might need abs. Hope they are both better really soon!!

**TINA** · « **Reply #3 on:** July 26, 2009, 21:23:55 PM »

Hi, vet said it seemed Flora has a upper respiratory virus.

But she didnt have the stringy slavers hanging.

Janeyk · « **Reply #2 on:** July 26, 2009, 21:19:36 PM »

Hi Tina,

Sorry to hear both kitties aren't well, I'd probably wait and see how Pod is tomorrow and if he's still sneezing let the vet check him over too in case he's caught what Flora has, hope they are both better soon. Let us know how they get on

**TINA** · « **Reply #1 on:** July 26, 2009, 21:05:49 PM »

Hi, had flora at the vets Friday as she started sneezing & her eye was running.
Vet gave her 2 injections, one was a anti-inflammatory, the other a 14 day anti-biotic.
This afternoon Pod was sick (he has been sick a few times this last week - something he never does)
Now he is slavering and sneezing. He is still eating and waltzing around growling at the stray which keeps
showing its face in the back garden.
Flora was not slavering at all.
Pod does not have runny eyes.

Advice much appreciated.

Tina x
