Again, thanks so much for all your love and concern. We're overwhelmed by the responses and advice we received here. Oh, the good news - Muffin is almost 100% back to normal! He still sneezes once in a while (including all over my face when I was talking to him - gross!) and wheezes a little...

Lisa rente it on Valentine's Day, and I thought, " Oh great, a chick flick..." But I was impressed! It wasn't typical syrupy stuff, and I shed some tears. An interesting fact for us Canadians: Notebook stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were both born in the same hospital in London...

Lethargic

Purrfect, Hissy! That was a our next question (steam). Thank you for the advice. We're going to let him sleep for now, and when he wakes up we'll run the shower. This site has been very helpful and supportive. We'll keep everyone posted, and include a pic soon. Paul

Thanks, Colleen. He's curled up right now at the end of the bed, breathing a bit easier. In fact, I think he's asleep, poor thing. He's very happy to be home. Yup, he's asleep, head upside down, happy - that's good! Rest up, buddy, get better...

Things have gone from better, to worse, to better and back to worse with Muffin since I last posted. Long story short, he just came back from a weekend stay at the Cat Clinic. His breathing is pretty laboured due to serious congestion, and his fever has spiked a few times. He came home today...

Here's the latest update: Last night Muffin was at his worst. He threw up, his eye and nose was running like a leaky tap,and he was boiling. But we were told he would probably get worse before he got better. Sure enough, this morning he 's much better, as we woke up to find him on Lisa's...

Here's the update on our Muffin... Lisa took him to the Cat Clinic in Hamilton ON. Yes, a clinic dedicated to our favourite animal! Turns out there's a feline upper respiratory virus rampant in our city. Muffin caught it, hence the the weird breathing and his fever (I forgot to mention he...

Thank you Hissy! I will check immediately - he seems to have calmed down, and yes, he was "lurching" when he drank. Whatever it was seems to have passed. He's asleep by my feet on our bed at the moment, breathing easy. Thanks again, we appreciate your reply IMMENSELY! Paul, Lisa and Muffin

Sorry to jump in without a proper introduction, but I need advice before I race off to the vet in a snowstorm. Muffin, our 3 yr old male domestic short haired polydactal (phew) is okay right now, but about 30 minutes ago he was having little breathing convulsions, kinda like erratic hiccups...
