Sick Journal

Need to keep track of the cats progress (or lack thereof) as we experiment with the new drug: delta albaplex. This afternoon, I started the following cats on the drug. They get two a day- so I am hopeful I will still have my fingers after this round is over!

Matuse-Taylor-Cole-Sierra-Everest- Mercedes- all of these are older resident cats who sleep with me, so I have had the joy of having cat snot sprayed in my face in the middle of the night! (Not something I would highly recommend)

The kitten room makes me cry- so I started all the sick kittens on the drug- they get 1/4 tab twice a day:

Mudslide-Perch-Chilkoot-Autumn-Hailey

Something is now wrong with Dawson and it doesn’t seem to be the same thing the other kittens have. She has stopped eating, won’t socialize and is now hiding. I am hoping it is just the puppies that have upset her. I don’t think she got stepped on as she seems to move okay. But it is strange how she is acting. She may just be coming down the URI early and responding to the lowered immune level. I hope she kicks it. The ONLY healthy kitten at this time (knocking on wood furiously) is Lazarus. Of the cats, Riley, Squirrel, Toots, Dash and Chappy appear to not be affected……….yet…….

  1. How old was Dawson? As far as I know they do that before they die. They hide, won’t eat nor meow. And they scream in pain when the morning chills set in… That’s what happened to mine. I found her dead the next morning.

  2. Daws was 3 months old- she died from feline distemper tests later showed. They dehydrate quickly which throws their body into shock and they basically die from shock. Once they are infected, it is quite a battle to get them to recover when they are just small kittens. Older cats stand a better chance.
