Sally,
Talk about confused! I don't understand why your vet would be
suggesting pts when Junior appears to be doing better. I'd think
seriously about finding yourself a different vet. It could be that she
just wants to prepare you for the worst case scenario, but it sounds
like he's improving and you shouldn't be considering that at this
point. Ask your vet for a referral to a specialty clinic for a
certified internist. There's no guarantee that you will have any more
confidence in the new vet, but they at least they will have more
experience.
I think it's a good idea to keep the kids separated at this point, it
will be less stressful for them if they have a longer acclimation time.
When you are ready, write to us with questions about how to slowly get
them to accept each other.
Keep your spirits up. Listen to your heart and intuition. You're doing
fine by Junior. Hey, you found us right?

Everyday that goes by I am more confused. Junior went to the vet
today. She treated him for the upper respiratory infection. I though
all was good with the world. I called her this evening to let her
know how junior was doing. I do think he is still running a temp, but
I did not want to upset him anymore. She was preparing me to put him
down maybe as soon as tomorrow. I know at least for this moment he is
not ready to cross that bridge. I have separated him and Tiny. The
other cats are still locked outside the bedrooms. And mostly stay
outside for their own safety. I know this group is for the cats, but
I am mentally, emotionally,and physically drained.I had reactive
hypoglycemia this morning.
I have ordered immuno-regulan on Kelly's advice. I now will have to
talk the vet into giving it. I printed out the protocol for
administering it.
Does anyone out there know of vets in the Richmond VA area who may be
willing to work with me. My usual vets office is extremely busy.
I am too tired to think.
Sally
PS My server would not send this message last night.
Junior seems better this morning. I don't believe he has a fever. I
will not put him through that ordeal unless I think there is a
problem. Junior and Tiny don;t like each other. They don't fight, but
they do growl a lot at each other. For now I will keep them
separate. The stress may have benn what precipitated this most recent
cold.
