Maggie,I was in a similar situation with 2 kittens and one testing positive. My positive got very sick with a URI, herpes, etc but did get well from that and went on to live to around 6 or 7 years old. I did NOT keep her on antibiotics after she got well. She was on antibiotics,

I definitely would NOT keep her on antibiotics

Hi,
I adopted sisters, Lucy and Izzie, from a shelter at 4 months old. Without going into too much detail, they are now 7 months old and I have just learned that Lucy is positive. She is symptomatic, she had a high fever and URI in the beginning of May, went on antibiotics, but within a few days
Hi, I took in a stray that was hanging around our
house. His name is Smokey. He was probably around 7

Hey Cindy,

well! I can guess how you're feeling about taking a "vacation" away
