[Felvtalk] How long does URI last in FeLV+ cats?

[Marsha]

Harley is still in the hospital, but improving.  On Sunday, he groomed 
himself a little bit, first time in a week.  Two attempts were made over 
the weekend to `put an NG tube in.  First attempt failed because they 
had tried a lighter type sedation, and he fought it.  The next day they 
tried heavier sedation, got it in, and once back in his cage, he pulled 
it out! He had one of the "soft" e-collars on.  Thankfully, he has 
started eating some kibble.  None of the most enticing wet foods had 
encouraged him, nor an appetite stimulant, not even a mouse (small 
frozen feeder purchased from pet store, and heated).  His eyes were 
looking better yesterday, but his nose is still congested. Fever is 
gone.  He gets fluids and some meds through IV.  They also have a steam 
vaporizer going.  Last night, in between pets, he batted at the roller 
clamp on the IV line.  I am hoping to bring him home tomorrow.  
Consistently eating on his own is the key.
