First, thanks to everyone for your support and thoughts! I means a lot to us to have wonderful friends who understand how we feel about the cats. Thank you all for caring.
This weeks is just turning out to be delivered by the devil himself!
Hamlet is staying at the vet tonight and we went to visit after work. He was hooked up to some machine with the fluids and he was laying in the bed looking so sick and sad. We stayed for about 40 minutes and asked that we be called about 8pm, 10pm and midnight with his status and if anything changes for the worse call ANYTIME at night. He has continued to have a bit of puking, but it seems to be slowing very much! He needs the rest.
We got home and Leo did not get out of the window bed to greet us and get fed. After a while I went to him and he would not lift his head. I picked him up and took him to the bedroom to be fed, but he just laid down and would not come for the food. He felt hot to me as well. I called the vet office, which had just closed, and had

So now Leo is throwing up! This is the second time EVER for him to throw-up. His brain damage I guess makes him not know how. I called the vet off hours number ans she wants him to come on the office 1st thing in the morning now. :( He is still just laying here and not really moving.

Cat,
Leo seems to have the runs today and is still feeling warm to me. He goes to the vet within the housr though.
The vet thinks it could be a but, but Hamlets blood and xrays show pancreas(sp) issues for now so he and the other vet now think if there is a bug here it pushed Hamlet a lot further than the others (so far) and has caused pancreatitis. :( But Leo... it breaks my heart! He has no idea what is happening. Because of his abuse brain damage and I am sure the constant drugged state from pheno does not help, he seems so confused and that he threw up! I think I said, this is only the second time EVER he did!
I wen't to the local humane society 2 weeks ago tomorrow and visited the cats and played with them. My vet has a lot of issues with them and says they have a lot of illness in there and they do not clean it up. I know the shelter hates my vet for reasons that he is the most expensive in town and will not do surgery unless you agree to the pretests, period. So the shelter refuses to allow potential adopters to get the pets fixed there and will not place him on the local vet list to hand out. I went to 2 board meetings as well and can see many problems! The last meeting was help in the shelter (9 days ago) too. It is possible I brouhgt something back here???? *SIGH* I will be bleaching the cat dishes and fountains this weekend and start to disinfect here in case. I want it to end. I am worried to the point of shakin over Hamlet and now Leo my get me there as well. :(
I need to run now, vet time. Chris if you are reading this thanks for your support too. I would answer yours also, but I have to run to the vet with Leo now and visit Hamlet and see how he is, then go to work (I don't wanna).

One step forward and 2 back. Leo’s fever went away over night and he is now unhappily at the vet’s office getting antibiotics and fluids.

Oh dear {{{{David}}}}, I'm so sorry that sweet little
My thoughts are still with you and the boys David!!! Hoping and praying that everyone gets healthy soon!
It makes me so angry to hear about that shelter - the last thing that animals languishing away in a shelter need is ANYTHING to complicate their getting a home. I understand screening for responsible owners, but to ban potential adopters from taking the animals to a particular vet because his prices are a little higher and because he takes precautions before cutting them open? That sounds pretty ridiculous. And the fact that so many of them are sick is even worse!
