Well, it's still crazy here. We thought we'd seen the worst of the virus over by last friday. We picked up additional needles etc. from the Vet's to keep giving the sickest kitten fluids. She was doing pretty well, started eating and drinking on her own finaly, but then, out of nowhere she started h...

Glad i asked. Thanks Traci!

The grade? Please do explain Traci. I think i'm going to give the diatomaceous earth a try. I never even heard of it until now. Sounds perfect. We've also had an insane number of millipedes this year *quiver* I just read it would work on those as well. Of all the bugs, the only ones i can't live wit...

No Nan he wasn't. He was only 1 1/2 months old when he disappeared. He was gone for a month when we finally got him back. Fortunetely our Vet says it isn't Distemper..just some kind of nasty viral infection that has been plaguing all the rest of our kittens now for about 5 days...feels like much lon...

Traci- I know it sounds strong, but i read in more then one medical guide the only thing known to kill the distemper virus on inorganic surfaces was a bleach dilution of 1-9 I also informed the vet of this and he did agree. The surfaces were rinsed several times ofcoarse before we let anyone back in...

Ok well, i did get to a new vet (one i'd heard good things about, a little on the kooky side) Anyway, he loaded our kitten up with everything he could think of, and as of now he doesn't beleive it is distemper. He says he saw a good deal of that about 30 years ago and knows it well. We're running bl...

The results to Nose's autopsy were completely inconclusive. However i've made my own conclusion and our heartbreak has quickly turned to terror. I beleive it was/ is feline distemper, you were right, and the rest of our cats have been infected. The mother and another small kitten are shoing symptoms...

Thank you for your help. He was their first appointment of the day, but it wasn't enough. They said they wanted to keep him to run some tests and as soon as i left him he died....and they still don't know why...i can't really think right now. They're doing an autopsy....all i can hope is that it's n...

There are, but they say he isn't serious enough to bring in. I've been giving him water with a dropper now for about an hour and he hasn't thrown up. I'll just have to keep him hydrated until morning (the animal hospital said that was all they would do for him too, apparently a doctor wouldn't be ab...

Oh and here is something odd to add. I don't know if it makes any difference but i just find it strange. We've been having major flea troubles in this area...and although this kitten has been outside for a month there is not one to be found on him, not one. Could he have some type of blood disorder?
