    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    Temperature down to 39 (102), good appetite and drinking water from the bowl. Getting impatient and wanting to go 'walk-about'. Looking good. Thanks everybody for the support.

    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    When I came down this morning he was munching away from his bowl. Seems one of the major hurdles has been crossed.

    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    He ate two pieces of dried food from his bowl and a little salmon, before sticking his nose up to ALL my other (delicious) suggestions.

    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    His temperature is down from 41°C (106°F) on Friday to 39.5 (103) today, and he's a lot grumpier about going to the vet. The food is going/staying down. Raised it from 30 to 40 ml, 5x a day. Seems to be ok. He sniffed his bowl this afternoon, so we'll see. Back to the vet tomorrow.

    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    Well, the food went down - and stayed down, which is another good sign. Score: only 10 scratches, so quite good :-). He emerged from the dog-box during the night where he's been hiding, (we have a liberal, equal-rights, multi-kulti house here), and slept completely stretched out on his bed...

    Transporting two cats

    I want to transport our two cats by air (we're moving back home). Would it be advisable to transport both cats in the same box* rather than two seperate ones, will they 'have a go' at each other or will they feel safer together? *Hard-shell, 47 x 32 x 30 cm l.w.b

    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    Back from the vet. The news was optimistically positive. The lungs are sounding clearer. He got his intravenous liquids (150 ml, hence 'the camel's hump'), another vitamin shot and an immune booster. Re feeding: I discovered that here the only baby-food available in glass bottles is chocolate...

    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    He was at the vet again yesterday (we'll be going again this morning), got a vitamin shot, a big fluid shot (here they call it 'The camels hump' :-). At home he's getting his anti-biotics 3 x daily. The baby food suggestion sounds good, as well as the steam room (it's very dry here - North...

    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    He had a temperature (we'll check that again today). Food wise, he refuses everything, tinned food, tuna, sardines, milk, ham, turkey - was not even interested in the fresh-fish delivery just now.

    Breathing problems, not eating/drinking (sort of urgent)

    We have a 5 month old 'street cat', (we got him at 6 weeks from a friend). Monday night he went out on the town for the first time. Tuesday morning he was at the door looking a little dishevelled and breating heavily. We thought that he was in shock after a difficult night. He calmed down during...
