Lance, I was referring to Callie...I'm assuming they have been vaccinated? I've only seen calicivirus in a shelter pull and that was a kitten....it just seems odd they would be exposed to it. I wonder if it can lie dormant and surface later?
In the one case of Calici I did run across the kitten turned out fine. We had to syringe feed him due to the abcesses in his mouth, but he had a 100% recovery.
