At least we think they don't because they're aren't showing signs of it. Currently they are getting oral mouth medicine twice a day and a shot of antibiotic at night because we can't give them pills. Most of our cats are drama queens and kings when it comes to pills. However these girl kitties could barely eat food, so pills were out. The alternative if this infection doesn't go away would be to have them put down and I don't want that to happen, so I need lots of prayers for Silver and Tigress. I am not prepared to lose any of these cats to death after working so hard to keep them alive and off the streets.

Ah man that stinks. Nothing is worse than a sick kitty who shares the love...my little feral is sneezing way more than I am comfortable with...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get an upper respiratory going thru my herd.

Good luck Wolfy--I hope the critters get to fighting this infection.
