Has your vet mentioned using baby aspiring to bring down the fever? It worked with Ginger. Adult cats can get one baby aspirin every three days (too much aspirin can kill cats). I have no idea how much a kitten that small would get, or if it is even

Ah Kristi, I'm sorry your new baby is sick. They're so tiny and
vulnerable at that age, I can see why your so concerned. Has the vet
ruled out obvious diarrhea causes, like coccidia and giardia? Was she
put on Albon? You must have been out of your mind when her fever spiked
to almost 106!
Oh Kristi,
Prayers for your 1 year old as well as the baby, (they're both just
babies!). I'm so sorry, you must be overcome with worry right now. I'm
sending you calming energy and healing energy for your babies,

The fellow that adopted Ziggy's mom has had her spayed, right? If not,
she needs to be spayed asap. If she does have FeLV, or is a carrier,

every Tom she mates with. Having her spayed will make her less likely

Hey there Del! Good point - absolutely, it can cause diarrhea in
animals and in people. If so, you back off of the quantity a little,
and keep doing that till no diarrhea.

Yes on both questions about interferon. On the shots, your kitten is too young for rabies, so I hope you did not get that. I would go ahead with the fvrcp because you don't want to take chances with distemper, etc...I assume, since he tested positive the vet didn'tdo a leukemia shot? Were
Sheila,
I know many people that simply flea comb their cats daily. It works! If you're obsessive compulsive like myself you'll even enjoy it. lol. Good luck!
Also, when I get a flea on the comb I usually drop it into a coffee mug of hot soapy water or rubbing alcohol to kill it.

belfield's is powder--it's the one i had mr. bean on the postive who is now
negative. if you google belfield and mega C plus i believe the company is
orthomological or somethiing like that. it's too darn hot to walk back
downstairs again. they ship very quickly.

i noticed that he also has a liquid but it says its for weaning kittens, I do
not feed canned food on a daily basis, does anyone know if i could use the
liquid form instead of the powder? I feel as though I would be better about
giving it on a daily basis. If not i will call their help line
I think they are saying now that it's really not that 'catchy' because it's caused by a corona virus that most cats are or will be exposed to already. It's just that most cats exposed to the various viruses do not come down with fip and a few do.
