Hi JennK,
Oh, we're definitely keeping them separate until the vaccine kicks in,
I was mostly wondering if it was safe after that, cause I'm hoping Tessa lives a very long time, and am not looking forward to keeping her in the one room all that time. :-)>
I wish I could reassure you that there is NO risk in mixing. I've just decided that with all the other risks that come with being alive, I'd rather take my chances and have as harmonious a lifestyle as possible. I also give my positives supervised time in the backyard everyday. A definite no no because I maintain a feral colony and I know they frequent my yard at night. It's possible that my + could pick something up, but it's another chance I've decided to take because they love their outside jaunts so much.
:-) Midnight is infamous for her hatred of screens - she destroys them
regularly. We have to watch her constantly when windows are open in our house, or she scratches her way outside.>
Your Midnight sounds like quite a character! I guess you'd have to get one of those heavy metal security screen doors!
She hasn't had any other symptoms, but she sneezed once at the vet,
and with the slightly elevated temp they wanted to make sure she wasn't sick before they gave the shot, I guess? She's been fine, since.>
I really like the sound of your vet. He's absolutely right to not vaccinate someone with ANY symptoms.
>Just the human versions of the supplements? Or is there somewhere to get cat versions? How much of each?>
I use the human versions. I also bought a cat multi vitamin by Vetri-Science called Nu-Cat. I don't know how much good the Vita C does, actually, I don't know how much good any of it does, but it can't hurt and it makes me feel like I'm doing something to help their immune system stay strong. I used to give them the sups everyday, but they started to refuse their food. Now I give them a few times a week, or if I see behavior that indicates they aren't feeling perfect. Kerry usually sends out an email full of good info about diet and supplements, has she sent it to you yet? Did you check out Jenn's website. Damn, she spent a lot of time putting that together, (you go girl!). The Transfer Factor is something that 'Sally from San Jose' turned me on to. So far, I've gotten it through her, I'm pretty sure there are other list members who have been using it.
