Well, (Friday vet trip) Copper has possible rhino viral problems. He was better overnight. Casey (dog)went to the vet Sat., got several shots including an allergy shot. It seems to have stopped her chewing on her feet and her ears seem better. Monday my cat Hunter went to the vet. He is sneezing, coughing, choking. Had a fever and pneumonia. He gets to go back for four days for a shot each day. Now 10 of my other cats have started sneezing and choking. I don't know if its the rhino sickness or what. They are all eating etc. I have started them on the pink antib. med to keep a secondary infection away. Its raining outside and half of them are having a fit wanting outside. This is unreal. I'm worried about Hunter. He won't stay in 24/7. He is in the worst shape. Catwoman, do you know if it sounds like they all have the rhino virus and is it too late to give them a shot or should they get it anyway? My vets have never mentioned anything other than leuk. shot and rabies shot. Donna

I have 12 on meds. I had to make a chart! One went for a shot 4 days in a row. Some are on the pink med twice a day, some on a pill and fever meds once a day, and one is on a liq. med different than the pink four times a day. Hunter seems alot better. Misha is not doing good. She is now the worst. My 9 week old kitten is doing good. Four cats aren't on any medicine. One is trying to have a relapse. Precious honey bunny was the sickest, she got 95% better one day after her vet visit. I had some of the cats switched over to the same med. Precious is on, but they are on pill form. Hopefully it will kick in. It is strange how you can have perfectly healthy kitties then something makes them sick and you can actually lose one. Hopefully Misha and the others will be well soon, I mean its been 10 days. Donna
