Bingley Report
We're back from the vet, for the second time in as many weeks. He thinks they both have the rhinotracheitis virus (aka feline herpes), and that it should go away by itself within the next couple of weeks. This is, basically, the same thing I'd ascertained from my Internet Learnings. There are some treatments, but unless I notice any change in behavior, or worse discharges, or a sore on her eye, he doesn't think I need to give her anything. (Well, maybe children's Benadryl, but it's made to taste good to kids ...)
I do hope it goes away that quickly. My poor kitty. I once knew a cat who died of an upper respiratory infection, so I'm extra paranoid about it - vet visits are expensive, but I can't just ignore a bad case of sniffles, even if I know it's probably something minor. :/ Poor, poor stuffed-up Bings. (Darcy is much, much better.)
Also, today we saw the vet who looks exactly like the Fourth Doctor, so that was fun. (For me.) And, as usual, Bingley drew massive amounts of attention to herself, and everyone said she was adorable.
