Hey guys,
Haven't posted in a while, have been very busy, but I have a question.
Quattro, my younger boy(approx 8 months now I think) came down with a minor URI last week, sneezing and one eye was a little watery. Spoke with the vet and because he was still eating voraciously and being his feisty self, they said there was no need to bring him in. He seems to be recovered now, haven't heard any sneezing at all today, and his eye has dried up.
However, now Beaker has it... My question is, will they keep giving it back to each other? Or will Beaker get over it, and then they will be done? I know that once they've had it certain things like stress can bring it out again. But really what I'm worried about is them giving it back to each other over and over again.
If this is a concern, is this something a vet can treat if it is not affecting the cat? I assume if one of them got really sick treatment would involve IV fluids/antibiotics? I'm prepared to take them to the vet, but not if it's something they will both get over on their own. And of course if Beaker gets lethargic or stops eating/drinking/eliminating, I will bring him in right away.
Okay, sorry this is so long, lol. Any advice would be appreciated.
Lena.
