Cats generally have calici for life, but they will have flare ups, which vary in length and intensity. It can affect them in various ways too, the most common is dental, but not unknown for it to affect their stomach (i.e. food sensitivity) or their joints either.

I took them to the vet to get spayed and neutered and they came back with this virus. They’re five months old. They Lee so sick and vets not in till Monday. They won’t eat or drink although there was some pee in their litter box this morning. They smell like death. She’s drooling everywhere and he’s got a bloody face from his sores on his face. I don’t know if they will survive…this is awful!

Are they vaccinated against it? Most cats do survive it. Very upsetting to hand over your lovely cats in good faith to a vet and have them come back with something like this, that's terrible! Surely your vet has an out of hours service?

I got them when they were 4 months and they no shots. When they got spayed/neutered they got all their shots.

The after hours clinics are outrageously expensive and none have room for them today. I’m taking them back to the original vet tomorrow morning with a vengeance 😡

I hope they make it till tomorrow 🙏🏼
