[Felvtalk] [OT] two sick cats

[Lance]

Sidney may have had some brushes with another cat, but those have been fleeting. As far as I know, he hasn’t been bitten or scratched. 

Thanks for mentioning Plaque Off. I need to look into that.

The vet thinks she might be dealing with feline calicivirus, but it’s also possible that she has an autoimmune condition. They’ve put her on Carafate (Sucralfate) every six hours to help treat the ulcers.
