Daisy and Dewey became ill last night. It has something to do with their legs. Dewey is the one who is badly affected as it seems like his legs are in pain, and the pain appears to shift from one leg to another. Daisy has the same symptoms as well, but is not as bad as Dewey.
The fosterer texted me today, while she was at the vet’s with Daisy and Dewey. I asked her to check with the vet if it could be calici virus as shifting lameness is one of the symptoms of this infection.
The vet has prescribed antibiotics and his advice is to let the medication take its course and bring the kittens back on Monday.
Right now, both kittens are eating well (that is a relief and that is good), but Dewey is still experiencing pain on his legs.
The fosterer has isolated Oprah from them, just in case it is an infection that spreads. Poor Oprah misses her siblings. This must be difficult for the fosterer.
Let’s all radiate positive vibes to Daisy, Dewey and our dear friend, the fosterer. May all get well soon.
The fosterer might also bring the two kittens to our vet for another opinion tomorrow, pending their condition.
I have also given the fosterer Dr Susanna’s contact, in case she wishes to opt for acupuncture. What acupuncture does is to clear the blockages and enable the qi to flow better. But qi is dependent on food, so the food must be right.
My cat, Tiger, had shifting lameness in 2009, three vets didn’t know what to do with him and told me since he is FIV+, there wasn’t anything they could do. Tiger also had shallow breathing and a bad sore on his neck that refused to heal (it kept blistering and bleeding, for months).
I opted for acupuncture. That was my first encounter with Dr Susanna Brida.
Read the miraculous recovery:

Way back in 2009, Dr Susanna did not stress so much on homecooked (as she does now), so I opted only for canned food. Now, we know, it ought to be homecooked food.
Tiger recovered within a week. It was unbelievable. More than that, it was not just the shifting lameness that healed and he could RUN again, but the shallow breathing also became much better, and the most miraculous of all was that from being the timid and scaredy cat that he was, he gained a confidence that I’d never seen before in him.
It was a miracle for me…and for Tiger.
Never underestimate the efficacy of a 8000 year-old ancient therapy.
