Well I had made an appointment for Tiffy with my vet for tomorrow and now i am really glad i did. Tiffy appears to have a respritory infection (sneezing , running eyes) but today at 2pm i decided to take boths temps(Kirra had started throwing up yesterday) Tiffy has a fever of 104.8 and Kirra 104.3, we are keeping a close eye, at 8am i will call the vet and see if i can get em in earlier, they are scheduled for 3:30pm. My poor babies look so pitiful.

My biggest worry tonight is gonna be Kirra with her seizures, I am hoping that the fever wont trigger another one, she hasnt had one since Novemeber. They look so miserable, is there anything i should do till tomorrow to help em stay comfy? do they need to be kept warm or cool? I have never dealt with fevers , with temps the only experiance i have is when they drop to low, not go to high. Both are still very hydrated thankfully.

I think that just keeping things calm, quite and a normal room temperature would be good.
Do you have an emergency plan in case there should be a down turn and you need a vet right away?

Yeah we have a local emergancy vet, but even my vet has said, unless i can not what so ever hold out till 8am take that cats but if i can dont cause they will charge you $70 just to say yup thats a cat. but we do have them to goto if it takes a bad turn. The girls fever's broke around 7:30 this evening and they are up and about, kirra is playing in the playhouse right now, tiffy sneezing as she watches. Seems the day is the worse for them (kind of like kids with croup, night is worse, day you never know they are sick lol) i will let yawl know what the vet says.

When mine had a cold, I made them a big pot of chicken soup and fed it to them everyday until they were better

Just got back from the vets office. Both have URI, Tiffy's a bit worse than Kirra's. They gave em both a shot of antibiotic and than clavamox for 7 days twice again (poor kirra JUST did this last month for a gastro infection) and Tiffy has eye ointment as well since her URI also is causing conjunctivitus in her eyes. Other wise all else was good, fever stablized, just a hair under 103. Tiffy was neg on fecal check so thats good. Its funny they are 1 month apart and 1lb apart, Tiffy weighed in at 7.9 and Kirra 8.9.

Thank yawl for the good vibes, i am glad we got em in when we did.

Poor babies.

It is good that they have a diagnosis and are on treatment.
Healing thoughts are on the way.

Of course I will watch for your updates.
