HI Angela

This sounds exactly like what happened to my Pumpkin. What may be different
is that Pumpkins was hiding the fact he was not eating. Although I did
figure it out. His gums were exactly as you described he spent two nights at
the vet hospital with fluids and IV Baytril. He crashed the second night. I
imagine much like your baby did. His spirit was gone when I arrived to visit
him that morning. They had cleaned him up and he was cold. I felt so bad
that I did not see his symptoms sooner. I had him euthanized. Cats are good
at hiding there symptoms. I had another cat who was sick at the same time
and being treated for anemia by a different vet. This was due to the fact he
had been hit by a car several months earlier and that was the only available
vet who could see him in a hurry.

Now I was worried Junior's condition was more serious. I took him back in
that week and though he looked fine he had a fever of 106.5. The kept him
hydrated him and called me to say they wanted to to a FELV test. He has
tested neg that same year. It came back positive. I had 11 cats at that
time. Two more tested positive. One also had been sickly had FIV as well. He
had been adopted from a shelter. I was in panic mode last fall. The group
kept me going. I lost Tiny from unrelated cause he died very suddenly last
Christmas. Lionel, my felv/fiv cat  was also PTS he was not well.

Good news Junior is stable and he had a very rough go but is fine now other
than his pos status. He gets immune booster like the group says.
