one of my 5 months old kittens has been diagnosed of having feline flu cry.gif

dunno how it happened though...mebe through contact with the new kittens..stupid of me mixing them together cry.gif

the doc said that she's only having the 1st stage virus...but i read that the virus won't go away once a cat has been infected..correct ar?

i've separated her from the other cats...but how do i prevent the virus from spreading through contact with clothing?

oh yeah..the doc vaccinated the 6 weeks kittens just now..dunno why..


Added on October 20, 2008, 9:08 pmIt is also important that feeding bowls and litter trays are kept for infected cats and not used for other cats. Also the bedding of infected cats should be destroyed after they have recovered. Disposable plates are available or can be improvised from microwaveable food readimeal containers.
People handling cats with ’flu should wear disposable gloves which are kept for each cat. If cats are picked up and cuddled, plastic aprons or an overall, which is kept solely for infected cats, should be worn.
For outbreaks that are difficult to eradicate, plastic over-boots should be used in the area where the infected cats are kept.


taken from one of the site...wala wei...have to find apron now...

one who had experience b4...how do u guys handle it?

sorry to hear about that feline flu. it can be dangerous if no early action.

what virus anyway? the name of the virus?

the doc vaccinated the 6 weeks kittens just now..dunno why.. ==> eerrkk the age 6 weeks is your estimation or the correct age? if estimation, the vet might detect that your kitten is more than 2 months (they detect it by looking at the teeth, and weight).

you can check this site for info...
Cat Vaccines
Feline Vaccination Guidelines
*
the first vet i went to on saturday told me to bring back the kittens in 2 weeks time for vaccination...so i guess they are not 2 months yet.. (erm...4 weeks = 1 month rite? ) then the doc i went to today, which was a diff doc and clinic, said they're about 2 months ++ (he's estimation..)

i dun even know if my cat has really the virus since after i google -ed cat flu, i dun c any symptoms on my cat pun...xcept she muntah yellowish-greenish liquid this afternoon..

i'm planning to take her to another vet tomorow to get a second opinion...watcha think?

the first vet maybe:
- did not know how to check and guess the roughly age.
- or, vet tu tak berani nak vaccine because the kitten is sick.
- they asking you to bring in another 2 weeks time, because of your estimated age (which they don't know how to check),  and maybe to wait for your kitten cure from sick then vaccine.

the second vet:
- maybe they have much experience in handling kittens. so when u always handle and care for kitten, automatic you can know the age.
- most feline flu cases, require to be vaccine immediate (that why the 2nd vet do it). because feline flu consist one of the virus that only vaccine can slow down/kill.
- im pretty sure the vet check everything, and conclude that, your kitten is healthy just just other kitten, just that he/she carry flu (feline flu).
Just like FIP/FIV its very hard to detect if they have this virus, unless u diagnose with medical check up. because the cat with this virus will still be like normal healthy cat.

since you already went to SECOND VET today, don't go to any third, fourth, fifth.

why? because the 2nd vet vaccine your kitten today. so you need to give sometimes for that vaccine to do its job towards the kitten. if you bring to other vet tomorrow, it won't give any changes because im sure other vet won't dare to give medicine or inject anything if the kitten is vaccine today.
*
ow..ok...will wait..just i'm worried if she does have the flu, I'll infect the other cats since i'm always cuddling them
doh.gif

but the one who was diagnosed with feline flu was the 5monts old one...who had completed her 3 months jab late last month...just to make it clear to u lah..kut u confuse since i kept referring them as kittens tongue.gif the doc said that she had a runny nose..tp i x nmpk pun unsure.gif so he diagnosed her as having feline flu..then he injected her..lupe nk tyn wit what...

xpe2..i'll stick to ur advice, finish the given antibiotics and wait for a while..and pray hard she'll get better..hehe..

kalau betul that 5 months old kitten kena feline flu, it will effect other kitten yang belum di vaccine.

you should have ask what injection he give to your kitten.

it is very important to know all this. masuk keluar vet does not mean 100% terus ok.

i might be alil bit "not cool" to the vet because i will ask them to write down on another paper what they have written in my cat medical book. or i will ask them to photocopy it and give it to me before i pay. and will always ask for receipt bill with full description of they they charge and the medicine given.

i have gone through like you last time. sampai 4 vet, and the kitten i resuce end up dying. imagine 4 vets.. not all vet is good.. not all vet know about cats.. not all vet confident with what they are doing.

from my point of view, i dont think he injected vaccine again.. mungkin it was a booster.
*
ya..my mistake not asking him wat he had injected...but i learned yesterday that never bring a lot of kittens into the examination room at once..that y so kelam kabut yesterday.. rclxub.gif

oh yeah...the 5 months kittens ( call her by her name lah....mayones...) she muntah lagi this morning...bout half n hour after i gave her her antibiotics...b4 that she was foaming a lot... sad.gif yesterday after the injection she was foaming too...but the doctor said that was normal..

dunno lah wat to do.. cry.gif

yea bagi ayam rebus dulu.. since your cat is demam, dia mungkin tak selera or rasa mual makan eaglepack holistics (produk2 makanan kan tinggin in proten & fat, sbb tu rasa muak bila makan - if demamlah).

toyogo tu kena dua org buat. lukis dulu bentuk dia.. jangan rendah sgt, nanti pasir terkeluar. then kalo dah lukis 4 segi tu, tebuk line tu with driller.. mungkin 4-5 lobang for each lines. then guna pisau yang kuat, jangan guna pen knife..
be careful, takut toyogo tu pecah lak..

sian die mual..xpe..i'll give her the chickien tonite..but if die xmau mkn camne?


k..will try to find a drill later...n try this DIY litter box...since my bro bising letak kucing2 kecik dlm toilet at nite (dun worrry elf..i dah masukkn every chemicals in toyogo box n shut it tight smile.gif ) berbau die kate... sad.gif


dulu2 when i 1st use fussie cat litter, the pee easily clumps..but i noticed these days x plak..jd berkecai kecik...wat happen eh? do u have the same prob?


Added on October 21, 2008, 2:52 pmha..lupe lak...

*
conclusion ar...

1..never bring lots of cats together into the examination room cuz u'll get confuse with all of the commotions then u'll 4get to ask important stuffs to the vet

2..bring the cats to ur trusted, and usual vet tongue.gif

3..ask elfreakz 4 help n adviced thumbup.gif

ps..i only brought mayones to 2 vets only..hehe...

Good morning...

Garfield just died yesterday. Leaving behind Tobey, Abu and Juliet, also not to forget his mommy and daddy who misses him dearly as he moved on to another world, a world of black and white. A last time to meet Tobey in this picture before he goes off.

Tobey and Garfield. Brothers forever.

I got Garfield from a chicken rice shop when he was very very small and he can still make sound while he's eating which I found him really cute. Nonetheless, he grew up, none stop irritating mommy and daddy for food early in the morning and that he don't know how to distinguish it's a weekend, and mommy and daddy dont wake up that early. Everytime when he plays dangerously in the balcony area, he gets a beating from mommy. And finally a small mistake in his step has cause his death from 11th Floor.

Your stubbornness Garfield, has cause us pain.

gosh..sorry to hear bout ur loss..

yes on rations..

morning, afternoon and midnight before i go to sleep.

i will just recycle the old one before adding the new one... like shake the old one with new. as long as the old one is like 1-2 days old in the bowl lah ehehe.. jangan lak tambah on top of the food that is dah lemau.

proformance for the adults 1/2 cup for each bowl. (im using the science place food cup, if u ever saw this)...

oh well, i'm at home most of the time, so, i have no reason to bubuh byk byk eheheh...

i understand some people kena kerja morning till night, so kena bubuh byk2... its alright afterall..

kalau ada duit, beli food feeder tu... there are 2 type..

the cheap on, is just a container of food and bowl. kalau makanan tu kurang, ada lobang from the container will drop the kibbles slowly. i saw at petsmore..

then if u want the automatic feeder pun ada, but expensive. yang ni guna machine control the food, buka dan tutup tongue.gif

anyway, the old fashion ways, bubuh banyak2 still work lah...

i pun kalau not at home the whole day, i will bubuh penuh2.

wa..u'r home most of the time? wat kind of work u do ar.. hmm.gif nk keje gtu gak.. tongue.gif

time relax..then can bela lots of cats tongue.gif

ahahah they will always be smelly because they lick their fur every hours and days... for sure the shampoo won't stick that long...

if your case is like not last for few days.. then u need the expensive shampoo..

the one cost rm40 and above. i'm using back2basic shampoo with coconut smell..

and then conditioner, get the one almost the same price.. i'm using Espree brand..

it can last more between 1 - 2 weeks.

when u shampoo and conditioner, leave it for like 5 minutes for each. don't pour water right after u brush their fur. let the shampoo and conditioner stay alil bit longer.

p/s some people like to use powder, leave on conditioner for their cats.. but i never try that. maybe u can have a look at this type of fragrance.

p/s make sure it is safe on animal. my cat has no problem with back2basic and espree product.

p/s i always like natural product, like back2basic is using oatmeal.
*
are the back2back and espree brands available in small shops or have to find at pet safari or sumthing? how do u hold ur cat for 5 mins while putting on syampoo and conditioner? wear gloves x? tongue.gif
