Elsa had been sneezing for a couple of days, then her eyes started running and nose became snotty, BUT she had still been eating well, although is frail looking and weighs under 2 kilos. So took her to the vet on Monday evening - purely for her runny nose and eyes. She was given antitbiotic injection as per usual! with tabs to follow up, but then before I knew it the vet was giving her another injection and told me it was a steroid and vitB! I don't know why she gave her steroids - I wouldnt have wanted it if she'd said before she was going to do it, what was the point?
Anyway - Elsa's hardly eaten anything since then, nothing this morning and seems much worse - thats AFTER a visit to the vets!!!
Then Jasper started sneezing, discharge from his nose, runny eyes and he wouldnt eat anything this morning, so he didnt have his fortekor. I've got an appointment for him this evening. This looks like cat flu, I had an outbreak 2-3 years ago when Gypsy was very ill, some of the others had minor symptoms.
I don't know how Elsa's going to get through this, given her age and frailty - and now not wanting to eat, yet she WAS eating before the medication - this is a complete nightmare, and now I'm worried about the kitten getting it. Elsa hasnt had boosters for a couple of years, but Jasper had his course of cat flu jabs before he came to me in March, but he looks just as bad as Elsa.
