If you are going to do the diagnositics, you can not wait a few weeks to do
it, you have to insist on doing it now and if your vet can't or won't go to an
internist who will. If it is lymphoma, a few weeks is like a lifetime, and can
make an extraordinarily huge difference in how effective
Buddies ultrasound and bio was about 380 and it was higher because
the person doing it had to come to my vets office to do it.

Michelle, please don't say it's ridiculous, because I already feel
guilty enough for trying to please everyone. I may not have a choice, and
I just have to do the best I can for Cotton with my resources and my
situation. My husband Eric makes 3x the money I do, and has the final say
in
Thank you Belinda. I get a Christmas bonus from my doc every year, and
that's what I intend for it to go on.

Sandy,
Sadly for almost all of us cost is definately a factor that has to
be considered. Cancer treatment can get very expensive and there is
never a guarantee that it will be successful. Alot depends on finding a
very good oncologist to either see or atleast consult with. Or a vet
Sandy,
You have me in tears reading this. Life's choices are so hard
sometimes. No one would judge you for doing what you think necessary
in your own circumstances. We know you love Cotton and that you want
to save him. Sadly sometimes having all the money and resources
available is not enough
Sandy, just want to say that although I have noadvice to
offer---you've hadand will have excellent and detailedfeedback from
members far more experienced than me---please know I'm thinking of and sending
prayers for you and dear Cotton. I'm glad your littlefurball is so loved.
Also, please
Tad and Marie,I am so sorry to read about your loss of Callie. I don't know which is worse, to know they're sick and go through the decisions about what is best to do in trying to treat, or have something like this that happens so fast. Either way, it's so hard to lose them. I really admire
Sorry, I've been involved in our yearly fund raiser and also taking in cats
- haven't kept up.
Just want to say I always maintain a questioning attitude of my vets, even
if they're specialists, and recommend that. I do remember, however,
running across the Wisconsin Protocol when Mittens was

Hi everyone,
Well Jake has fully regained his appetite, and the diarrhea is getting better. Still not totally solid but its getting there. The vet game me i/d food and it seems to be helping, and I also got him benebac and Diarsanyl, thanks to the suggestions of this group.

Well, I recently adopted out a cute, adorable little foster kitten, a
Persian, and the young lady who adopted him called and said he had
ringworm. It didn't show up on him, he had a little bit inside his ear, no
place else. But she was VERY sensitive to it and broke out with several
I like L-Lysine. You can administer it by mixing it in food. It comes in capsules which you can open and mix. I would say 500 mg. of L-Lysine once a day.I had bought some in free form and it was more granular than powder which they don't like so be careful if you findin freeform that it is
I agree about L-Lysine - that stuff works well on Herpes URI. I sometimes
usually use 250-500 mg twice a day, and I generally don't worry about
overdosing. It's so easy - you can mix it with food, or syringe it with
fluid, or use the paste. Great stuff.

The other suggestion besides Lysine is Immuno-regulin, which has to be
given by IV injection so you need a cooperative vet. You can buy it online
yourself though. It really helped my Patches get over pneumonia and my
Ginger to get over a long-term URI that had been making her not eat for
The Triaminic is the Cold and Allergy one, and the flavor is orange (not
cats' favorites!), and the dosage for cats is 2/10 of one cc twice a day.

There are no ordinary orange cats.

I was giving Maizee Lysine in the powdery form,I would put it in my hand and the silly girl would lick it.That didn't work all the time and it was messy,I also mixed it with fish food,yes I said fish food,she was a silly baby.But most of the time I put a scoop of it in some tuna in the morning and
Cotton's the first orange cat I've ever known
personally. He's so different from my others (whitewithtabby
spots, black and white tux, black). He's definitely anA type

Michelle,I have no experience with lymphoma, but my IBD experience has been that the cats have felt fine. They just had loose stools, diarrhea, or even vomitingHas your vet come up with another food? I think that would be the easiest thing to check out. Bob had surgery for a
thanks everyone. I will try the lysine and keep in mind the Triaminic and Immmuno for if things get worse (hopefully they won't)

Hear, hear, Nina! Isn't James just the best. This is the only weblist
(listserve? I never know what the tech term is) I have ever belonged to
and I realize from what others say about their experience with other groups
how very fortunate I am to have found such a wonderful group! There is no
doubt
