Pics taken yesterday morning of the two “patients”, clearly on the mend.
(look how much Loki has grown!)
So it turned out pretty much as zoomer had warned about back in February. Loki does indeed have feline herpes and this past week, in spite of getting Azar vaccinated, I’ve had two sick kittehs at home. I’m more than a bit annoyed that when I first went to see the kittens the cat shelter volunteer said that what Loki had was “just a bit of a cold” and assured me it was nothing contageous. And later the vet also talked about Loki’s “cold” as if it were nothing to worry about, though she did say I should get Azar vaccinated and wait two weeks before bringing Loki home. Which I did. But in fact, feline herpes can be quite dangerous in kittens and older cats … so again, I am kind of pissed off that both the vet and the volunteer seemed to care more about finding a home for Loki than the health of my 15-year-old Azar. Because a week or so ago Loki had another outbreak and Azar got very sick as a result.
Anyhow, the boys are now taking anti-biotics – in pill form! – and they couldn’t be any more different about it…
