The Vet gave Beau some Anti-biotics because she has quite a hight temperature. It's awfull seeing them just lounge around with "long" faces. Both have lost a small amount of body weight, but not enough to be too worried yet. They are slightly de-hydrated. Beau has been sick a couple of times, but Joy never was! I suppose, like humans. viruses affect cats in different ways.
Hopefully they will both show signs of recovery soon. Really don't know where they got the virus from as they have never been out! The vet thinks it may be a reaction to them possibly "licking" the Anti Worming Paste we applied to the back of their necks, but isn't sure!
Let's hope they get better soon!!

Starting to get really worried about the two of them! Both still not really eating or drinking and one has been a little sick over night, and Joy has tried to be sick in the litter tray this morning, but only a small amount of fluid came out. The vet says that Beau had lost 5% body weight and had a temperature and Joy had lost 3% body weight and temperature was ok. He thought that Joy had the virus first and had given it to Beau, but after being with both yesterday and with the sickness this morning, i think it's the other way round and Joy has caught whatever it is off Beau.
Going to ring the vet again today and see what they say! Hate this, feel so useless. Have given loads of tlc , but cann't give much more. Cann't get them to eat and Beau is the only one that has drunk anything at all, and that is only a very small amount!!
Will see what the vet has to say later.
