Ok thanks, wasn’t sure if I was giving him too many treats. From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Amani Oakley Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2017 11:50 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Checking in.....
It if were me, I would ignore the cholesterol. It is nonsensical in cats (and being called into question in humans too).

My son Skylar is doing well and his 6 month bloodwork came back great. High cholesterol is all. No idea why that would be. He is now 2 1/2 years old, I hope he is around a long time.

Things have been very quiet on the group lately...OR... I am once again not getting group mail.... Has there been activity I've missed?? My Hospice Boy ( Gilbert) is doing quite well for the moment but ( as we all know with such things it could change any minute...so I'll just enjoy it while it's happening).... Wondering if any of you have experience with Higher dose Prednisolone administered chronically ( say above 7.5 mg QD)... When I agreed to Foster Gilbert it came with the proviso that I would follow their directions ( Which I will hold to unless I feel they are killing him unnecessarily quickly) His Tumor does not appear to have gotten any larger and his pain appears to be pretty well controlled.... Just wish I knew specifically what is helping the most so I could cut down on superfluous drugs....currently he's on Gabapentin( .4 cc BID if pain is up.. QD if doing OK).. for pain, prednisolone ( 10 mg QD administered via syringe dissolved in milk, Venus Fly Trap SubQ BID ( interesting substance... bears closer scrutiny... supposed to have anti tumor activity) Two other " alternative " medications which I have suspended only because the poor boy screams bloody murder every time I have to give him something..... with a tumor invading his oral cavity I want to keep anything PO to a minimum.... Seems that the cats I've had that are _ supposed_ to ( clincally) die don't and the ones that that aren't ..do Hope everyones buddies are doing reasonably well ( as reasonably well as FeLV Kitties can do)... Gilbert, as I mentioned, had a traumatic brain injury which has left him with poor balance... but lately he's been insistent on expanding his range and even tried running this AM... Wasn't in anything resembling a straight line but the spirit in this guy is enough to make you weep... Guess that's part of why I am such a fan of animals.... they simply do what they have to and do it without complaint ( Sure glad they can't speak...perhaps I'd like them less if their inner thoughts were more like ( Why ME?? I'm a more thoughtful caring cat than Mittens over there; why did _ I_ have to get hit by a car and THEN get cancer!!... and there's that jerk Mittens running around all carefree and happy...where's the Justice I ask you!!!!)...
