Deb, the crazy thing is that symptoms can be variable. I have been wracking my brain and talking to the vet, and one thing that looks like a possibility now is that Brock, the FeLV+ cat I adopted 2.5 months ago, may be a carrier of whatever URI virus it is. This all seemed to start (but

Glad to hear Harley is purring and affectionate. I take that as a good sign. I hadn’t heard of ECGs for cats, but it makes sense. It’s a good non-invasive test for heart concerns. Sounds like that’s not the issue, though. I hope Harley is even more improved tomorrow. Lance On Dec 15, 2014,
