Good morning!
I am a new mama to two beautiful Sphynx Boys one is a 3 month old Tabby (his name is Raisin) and our second is an almost 6 month old button nose cutie (not sure if he’s considered calico?) I’ve attached pics..And he doesn’t have a name yet since it hasn’t even been 48 hours that I have him and been trying to just get him healthy. They are from different litters so they are separated. I’ve had the baby for a week and the bigger one since Friday night. Unfortunately the older one got sick the night he got here! Yesterday the vet confirmed it was URI. He prescribed antibiotics and said to isolate them for 10 days.
My little one (raisin) also got his last rounds of shots yesterday so I am worried sick that he will also get sick and he’s not fully protected I am even considering taking the older one back to lessen the threat for the little one since doc said he is contagious . Is URI that bad? What is the likelihood of the other one getting it? Has anyone else had a similar experience? They have been in separate rooms ( haven’t even met yet) and separate food containers, etc….we did pet him on Friday when we met him and as soon as we got home we played w the little one…is that enough to get him sick since we didn’t wash our hands in between? How long would it take for me to see symptoms in the little one? I haven’t even been able to sleep at night. I’m a little paranoid and don’t want to make a decision out of anxiety of the unknown. Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated. Thank you .
