Here's a little update on Scout.
Her fever had been running around 104 (102 is high-normal, 106 is fatal). A couple days ago it went up to 105. They put her on some meds for the fever and it's back down to 104, but that's more a matter of treating the symptoms than the actual cause. But there's really nothing else our vet can do there, so she's back home where she's comfortable and not quite so stressed and we have the fever meds and antibiotics to give to her. We're also going to keep her separated from the other cats so she doesn't pick up anything else from them, and we'll just see how she does.
Oh and everything (including all kinds of meds, 1 1/2 weeks at the clinic, daily exams, an in-clinic blood test, and the leukemia test) only came to $45. That's one of the many things I love about this vet. Not only is he an excellent vet, he also tries his hardest to keep costs down so people can actually afford to treat their pets rather than have them put down because they don't have the money.
Meanwhile, Romeo & Emily are getting their 2nd vaccinations in a couple weeks. Then in another couple of months, we'll have them all re-tested (mom has read about some cats showing a false positive for a couple months so we want to double check Ten and make sure Romeo & Emily are still negative).
