well we dont know but neither do the three vets. that we took them too. first lethargic then high fever (105.8) one has very swollen paws limping rear legs extreme dehydration. then another came down as the same but sans the swelling then aother sarted to throw up and had a low grade fever. out door cats very well cared for. We tested blood. Cats #1 had 16 k white blood cell count the others in normal range. Wide distribution antibiotics, fluid ivs and some electrolytes plus a few nights in the coolest room of the house. now all within good temp.s 101 - 102 degrees. But cat one still swollen both cat one and two are very lethargic but have shown awareness of suroundings and can vocallize. Cat number three is doing very well and is already outside exhibiting normal behaviour.
Any ideas? we do have one nieghbor that has proclaimed to hate cats and to have threatened to shoot with bb's. We havea confronted her on that and she back down w/ contrition promising it was an empty threat. HAve looked for food laying around the border of prop but nothing.
Any help greatly appreciated. AS is with all tests and meds we are over a thousand dollars so we need to figure this out for humanitarian and finaciall reasons. Thankyou.
