Everyone I know in this area has, or has had, a nasty infection which involves aching a bit, shivering a bit, slight sore throat and the most godawful COUGH. My house sounds like the old Consumptive's Ward at the Sanitorium. The whole thing goes on for well over a week and you feel ROTTEN most of the time with no sense of taste and poor appetite. :mad: Both me and the missus are coughing away and bringing up nasty stuff every time.

Is it just this area or is it widespread round the country?

Had similar last week..Then lost me voice which is only starting to come back now..The rest of the family seem to have caught it to..Poor kids, although a bit of a result, as I don't have to put up with the usual nagging now that everybody is losing their voices..haha..:p :p

They say a curry is good for a cold, so it might help get rid of it... but with the side effect of passing it on to everyone else ;)

Our cats all had something similar recently - the vet said it was "upper respiratory infection" he had to prescribe decongestant powders for the worst-affected and anti-biotics for secondary infection. They are all "indoor" cats too, so it's not as if they could have been mixing with infected moggies, so it's pretty virulent in the moggie-world too. :nod: Happy to say they are all better now :D

Our cat has a hard life of taking at least 22 hours a day for her cat nap & the rest of the time eating & grooming.
She does venture out once in a while but not far & mostly just to get more attention when she comes in!
And if no fish in the evening she wails until she gets it!!!!!!
