Hi everyone:
I posted my tale of woe regarding giving Punky Flagyl for the diarrhea he was experiencing. His stools were soooo smelly & I was concerned.
Punky is the friendly homeless kitty who followed my neighbor's cats to my door a year ago looking for a meal. Six month's later, I decided to get him fully vaccinated & neutered - I wasn't sure if he would be an indoor kitty. But he tested negative for feline leukemia & didn't have it - so I thought, good news!
Now I feel confused & guilty.
Because the vet called me about the results of the diarrhea PCR panel & Punky tested positive for feline corona virus (yes, I know it's not the same as the human corona virus).
So - now what? From my reading, there's no treatment & it's contagious.
Will my other cats get this? Do they already have it? What about Molly - if she has lymphoma & has to be on chemotherapy, will her immune system be compromised?
I love Punky but I am beginning to regret adopting him.
