Health & Behaviour General / cat flu advice
« Last post by cathycat on August 15, 2023, 23:52:02 PM »
Hello everyone
I'm in a quandry and I just don't know what to do.
A couple of months ago my lovely elderly cat.Charlie was put to sleep. He had heart issues and I miss him as does his feline friend Alfie (they had a strong bond). I decided to adopt another cat from the rescue I got Charlie and Alfie from.
I ended up adopting 2 4/5 month olds who are brother and sister (neutered and vaccinated). Before I brought them home they had been treated for a respiratory infection which was minor and cleared up very quickly.
So I brought them home and they moved into my bedroom while Alfie and I moved into the spare room to sleep and we occupy the rest of the house while I started the process of introduction and began with scent swapping with blankets. After afew days Alfie began sneezing so I took him straight to the vet and has been diagnosed with cat flu :( He;s on Amoxicillin. He's definately not feeling well and I've taken time off work to keep an eye on him. The kittens are well. I've stopped scent swapping of course and am being careful to keep up with good hygiene and keeping a close eye on all 3.
 I feel terrible as I have caused my Alfie to be ill and have been very naive about the whole adoption process. I just don't know what to do for the best. Hopefully my Alfie will recover as he is vaccinated (as are the kittens) but I can't help thinking I've really messed up and although the kittens infections were played down by the rescue I should have taken it more seriously.
What do I do? Should I return the kittens (Ive grown very attached to them) for the sake of Alfie as they all could keep reinfecting each other?
Any advice would be brilliant. Thank you

Hi James and Welcome to Purrs.

Sadly the forum is not as active as it used to be .... most members seem to use other social media platforms these (Purrs also has a facebook page).

Are you currently owen by any felines?

I have 3 cats and 1 french bulldog (who thinks he's a cat ;) )

Has anyone tried this for their cats with arthritis? Susan will not take supplements and food for her joints. She is having Solensia, but today she still seems unsettled after having a jab yesterday . I am also arranging a blood test for her kidneys as she is drinking much more

Hello,

This behavior is often linked to their predatory nature, and they may be attracted by the smell of food or simply seeking to satisfy their curiosity.

How's Rosie doing?  Has she ventured toward the backdoor again or is that still a no go zone  :rofl:

Slowly getting there  :briggin: She has now adopted a routine of going out "through the cat flap" for 1-2 hours a day, not venturing far, think she hides in the hedging or under one of the sheds, she's also spending more time downstairs, still doesn't like the dog even tho he basically ignores her now  :rofl:

In six days, it’ll be four months since we had to let our girl go. We still miss her immensely. Even when her health deteriorated at the end, her beautiful personality still shone through.

Love you always, Peanut.❤️
