Have you seen a vet?

Report

He's got a flare up of his virus. Been given a jab. See how he is doing in a week.

Thanks for asking x

Poor Jack. Worrying isn't it?.

Report

It sure is. He kept going to sneeze, waking from sleep. Not happy about that.

Healing vibes from Little Monsieur, MCat and me. Flowers

Is this the same virus he had when he first came to you?

Nice of you Rubbish, you are a sweetie Star

He does look miserable, bless him. I've got upset as I hate seeing him sick.

Sorry yes didn't answer, vet thinks same virus.

Well, I sort of feel like I know him from your posts. Smile

He should be fine then, he fought it off as a small kitten, now he's a strapping adolescent. His immune system will be more equipped to fight it.

Doesn't stop the worry though.

Just a thought - couldn't be hayfever could it?

True we've been through adolescence together on this board.

He's got a temperature and wheeze, so more likely a virus.

Was sneezing a fair bit yesterday, but more of a pre sneeze today.

Speaking as a human, I find the pre-sneezes worse than actual full blown sneezes. Irritating and frustrating.

I'll bet Jack is strutting about on his ballet dancer legs tomorrow. Swiping at your nose. x

I think you're right, he is annoyed, especially when he can't rest. Lots of swirly owl head action. Probably dizzy as much as anything Grin

How's young Jack doing this morning Chock?

Report

He's better today, less pre and post sneezy.

Getting lots of rest, sleeping under the duvet.

Keep him really warm and in bed. The warmth is really good for them I think - I know that it's advantaged Seniorboy when he has sniffles.

Good luck to him.

His voice is coming back too. Will keep him settled x

Poor little thing. Glad he's feeling better.

Going to check a couple of things out with the vet. Seems almost back to his bouncy self. Appetite not affected much Cake

Glad he's better, chockbic. Let him burrow into the warmth when he wants to though - it might be the best thing for him.

He went out briefly earlier, as he was driving us mad, in truth.

Snuggled up in his basket now, with an extra blanket.

Ah that's good his appetite wasn't affected by his sniffliness. He must've kept his sense of smell during his poorliness.

Yay, Jack properly on the mend!

It's probably more a sense of gluttony, than smell.
