By the way, just an FYI - I did not have a high fever with the swine flu and that's why I thought I just had the regular flu. I think the highest it went was 99.6. So, not everyone gets a high fever with it. Even with the pneumonia I did not have a fever - it was 96.4 to 96.8 and I thought that was odd. So, this bug is reacting differently on different pe...

I agree with April - see your doctor - I had the swine flu about a month ago and this past Monday was diagnosed with pneumonia and now on an antibiotic and starting to improve. I can tell you that I'm still extremely congested and tired. The doctor I saw said it's normal to feel so lethargic after this H1N1 virus. Everyone reacts differently though - so li...

Yes, the fountain water bowls are fabulous! A lot of work to keep clean though - but worth it! My cats love it! And, I did notice they drink more when they have the fountain than without. I had a male cat with the same problem once - he almost died from it. We just followed the vets advice and gave him the special food and honestly never had a proble...

I've been away for awhile because I caught the dreaded H1N1 virus and even before that was feeling sick a lot. Now I have pneumonia and just started and antibiotic yesterday. . .but all my cats have also gotten sick. First Katie had runny eyes and was lethargic and seemed to be feeling yucky. Then Roxy seemed to have the same problem, then Charlies, then R...
