Question
my kitten is 9 months old and has always been very healthy. she wasn't being her playful self & i took her to the vet this morn.  she had 104 fever; doc gave shot, but tonight she is still not acting well.  i'm anxietized over this baby.  also, my 14 yr old dog was diagnosed today w/ a staph infection - any connection here?  they both stay inside and i also have mom to the kitten who is acting just fine.  

Answer
Hi Kelli,
If she is still not well in the morning, call your Vet. To be honest, I am not sure if there is a connection about the staph infection.  I presume your Vet is the one who diagnoses this? You didn't say.  Please call your Vet tomorrow and let him/her know if your kitten is not doing any better.  If by some chance your Vet is not the one who diagnosed the staph infection in your dog, let them know about it.
I hope all turns out well for you and your pets.

God bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
