Smudgleys rescues 10th June

[smudgley]

Update for you about the cats with me.

Oscar - still here & not reserved yet.

Midnight has gone today & 4 of her kittens have also gone this weekend. Still got 2 that are not yet reserved, they are nearly 10 weeks old.

Cara has been unwell & tests show she has a virus. :( She was going to go to a home with erins friend, but won't now.

Star is still here & doing well, her kittens are growing nicely, but none of them are reserved yet.

Thanks for the update Smudgley!

What a shame about Cara, is it a virus that she will recover from?

[alexgirl73]

Nice to hear how they are doing Smudgley. Will Cara be ok, and what about the kittens?

[dandysmom]

Poor Cara! Any idea what it is?

[smudgley]

She is carryng a virus & will always do so. She may have clinical signs from time to time. She's ok. We are going to rehome her as an only cat.

The kittens will be ok. :cool:

[alexgirl73]

I'm glad she will be ok. Hope she finds a new home soon and poor Oscar of course.

I am sure Cara will be fine as Tilly is a virus carrier as well and aside form the odd bout of illlness she get along fantastically.
Do you know what virus she carries as there is a treatment called interferon (sp) which can as far as I understand cure virus carriers. It is quite new my vet suggested it forTilly. But it only work well on certain viruses. it is also quite expensive.
What it involves are 6 ininjection spaced out over a period of time and the interferon finds the cells the have got the virus carrying bit and puts a sort of covering over them to stop them multiplying.
It might be worth asking your vetabout anyway

She carries the same virus as Tilly.
I am going to the vets with her today to discuss treatment options. Although some courses of treatment are £400 :?

Edit to add - Maybe she could come & live with Tilly. :shock:
