Hi there,
I am thinking about picking up a kitten (6 weeks) from a lady that no longer wants the cat since it is sick. She e-mailed me a picture. The kittens eyes are just about swollen shot and from what I can see the mouth is effected as well. Reading up online a bit I am more and more thinking the kitten may have the herpes virus, where I was hoping it was a severe case of URI. I know if I do get her I gotta keep her isolated from my cats, but if it is Herpes it would never be safe to bring the kitten around my cats. I am debating if I should stay away or make this commitment and end up being in a bad situation. Any advise?
