I learned a really hard lesson when I had PanLeuk go through my kitten room...the kitties would be playing one minute and then they would vomit and within hours they were dead, it's horrific to watch. It comes out in the dirt around here, some years it's devastating and other years we would see nothing. Once the kittens are exposed they go fast and very rarely do you save one. Once the outbreak is over everything must be sterilized. These kittens are to young to have shots..they say most kittens are exposed in their first year of life.

Also if you've ever seen a cat suffer with an upper respiratory--it's another tough thing to watch--The FVRCP shot is a damn good investment.

I have seen this while working at the SPCA and such with the kittens as well as other shelters, it's freaking horrible.
