Having just takin in a kitten with symptoms similar to this virus, ulcerated eyes, slight sneeze and little snotty nose what's the likelyhood that this may be something less serious? The kitten is eating well, popping and running about like a goodum however it certainly was not well in the care of its breeder beforehand.
Vets mentioned the virus when we took her there today but can't be sure of anything and not sure how bad her eyes have been effected due to inflammation of the surrounding tissue which we have medication for. Going back Wednesday to re assess and we are keeping our other cat away from the new kitten.

Breeder advertises on preloved and lives in Bournmouth. Not tested for anything yet as just got her and treating the issues she has to start with. Back Wed to the vets and will discuss tests etc then.
We didn't pay anything for her as she was not well and we took pity. If it costs a few quid to sort her out its no issue so long as she does not affect our other cat who is also a house cat, they are currently separated in different parts of the house and will stay like that with hand washing etc if we swap between playing with them.
I did mention to the missis that it may be best to put her down if she is a carrier along with the state of her eyes although the swelling has gone down allot and was meet with floods of bloody tears!
Our 2 dogs are transfixed, the chug probably wants to sniff and play and the British bull dogs is just plain nosey but her hate if rodents means we will have to introduce very very carefully in case she miss reads what the kitten is. She is fine with cats mind so we will get around to that if the kitten stays.

Well whatever she had is getting better although the damage to her eyes from not being treated asap looks like being permanent although again we will have to wait another few weeks to be sure. If she stays she will be very well looked after like the rest of our brigade so stress won't be an issue I hazard to say.
Our other cat is a house cat and not inoculated however he is being kept up stairs and the kitten down stairs only. We have put in place hand washing stations between the two areas and my missis changes her top when going up and down to try to stop contagion. He is also being booked in for the jabs tomorrow and will be kept apart till it's safe to interact although I appreciate he could still get mild symptoms just so long as he stays healthy.

Well we are arranging to get our other house cat innoculated against everything and the 2 will be kept well apart till we get the ok to let them mix. Kitten is very lively although she has bumped her head a few times when in full blind pursuit so we have removed glass items.
The Chug loves her and alls well, vis versa with the cat, we won't chance the BBD till she is twice her current size and not as rodent looking, think she will be fine though.
