Update: Kitten Pear is doing very well now, in fact he is an absolute, adorable monster. BV SPCA was very kind and helpful with costs of caring for him after a serious health scare. Beware of vets that won't commit to a diagnosis and tell you that your pet could have a totally normal illness or a totally fatal one! BV SPCA vet was very frank and direct with us, giving me peace of mind after another vet convinced me Pear was not going to survive!

Original: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT for those adopting kittens since July 2018: We adopted a 2 mo male kitten SATURDAY 7/14/18. The Kitty City room was full of lethargic sneezing goop eyed kitten. Our kitten has had a mid grade fever and lethargy two days after bringing him home and diarrhea since adoption. We went to the ER yesterday. Blood work done suggests his white blood cells are very high, which could indicate a fatal untreatable illness called FIP but could be caused by an upper respiratory infection too. He is on antibiotics, got fluids at the ER, his fever was still high this morning but he successfully ate breakfast today. We are taking him to the SPCA vet this evening, I will update. I will also make BVSPCA aware, this is not a negative review of the shelter. However, we are scared that the baby we adopted will not live. We have sunk ~$500 into caring for his health in 3 days.
