Babycakes has an upper respiratory virus and is back on antibiotics. I did find a new vet that will come to the house and she's great. My concern is more about what I'm doing to her. I'm scared to death for her and I can't seem to just leave her be. Can anyone tell me if an 8 year old cat can die of this and help me calm down so I stop upsetting her. Any information from folks whose cat has had this would be so helpful. I know I'm not helping but I just keep hovering. To make matters worse I was on vacation last week so our whole schedule was off balance. I don't want to hurt her. I'm even afraid of giving her the antibiotics because of the additional stress. She won't take them in food any more. She's not eating very well and I'm very worried. Please help.
