Title: Summer has been to the vet
Post by: Topsy Turvey on February 04, 2009, 19:26:30 PM

She's been a bit snuffly for the last couple of days so we took her to the vet again  :(.  Vet thinks she may have calicivirus.  Have given her a long acting antibiotic injection and some powders for her water and we have to take her back on Friday.  She's currently lying beside me on the sofa. :Luv2:


Anyone else experience this with their kitties?
