Kayte, How are you? Sounds like Crackers is doing fine. I'm so glad he threw his cold. How did the vet visit go this afternoon? I hope really well. I'm glad to read that Crackers likes his new food. How is your dad doing? Has he had his surgery yet? I hope he's better.
I wanted to respond to a few of the questions you had posted over the last several days. One, don't wait on the immune boosters for Crackers. Get him started on the Lysine and Vitamin C so that they can help him fight off this virus now. I would just get used to the fact that he's going to be getting them for many months until you retest him, and then you can re-evaluate at that point. Two, I don't take my kitties' temperatures. If I try to stick anything up their butts, they act like I'm removing a limb. lol. BUT, I can sometimes tell that they don't feel well. They will act like cats or human children do after receiving vaccinations: lethargic, overall not feeling well. You can also get an ear digital thermometer at Petsmart and/or Petco, I think. It might only be online though. They are about $50. I'm still saving for mine. Three, any changes to a cat's regular routine or environment, including visitors, your vacation, loud noises, changes in diet, changes in litter or location of box, etc. constitute stress. Avoiding as much of that as possible will help Crackers. I hope your day went well. Tell us how the vet visit went! :) Wendy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
