It sounds like herpes. The lysine would really help with that.

Wow, Kathryn...what a rough weekend-for the both of you! It sounds like it
took a while for the antibiotic to kick in for him...and that can make us
completely frantic with worry, I know!
I am still learning a lot about the disease process...but it sounds like he
might get through this

Ebony was an adult feral when he moved in with me. I bought a 6x6x12
chain link dog kennel, put a top (very securely) on it and attached it
to the house by way of a bathroom window. He went thru a dog/cat door
into duct work then onto a landing and into the kennel. He loved it

Dee,
Wow! What an improvement in the weight! Bless you
for taking care of this little furbaby. I know he is
SOO thankful for you guys! You might consider
giving him probiotics to supply him with the good
bacteria that the Baytril will wipe out while he is on
it. I hope you get some good
I hate that frothing at the mouth you wrote about! No matter how
many times it happens, it always freaks me out!!!
Ugh. We had our Missy do that just last night, while she was still in
my arms from the pilling session. Sensitive-stomach housemate goes
running from the room, and I, who have
First of all, I just wanted to take a moment to send my condolences to
everyone that have lost their cherished little ones. They leave their
little tiny paw prints in every heart that they touch while here on this
Earth. So sorry to hear of each every one of your losses.
I just wish I
baytril comes in a flavored chewable form that some cats take
readily--talk to your vet about that
i have persians, who are a real pain to pill because of their tiny
little mouths--hard to even do the
pop-the-mouth-open-shove-pill-to-back-of-throat trick cuz there's no
ROOM in there
I'm not qualified to answer many of your questions - but I can't help but
think that the significant weight gain is a very good sign.
I always try to get liquid meds when I can since we have the technique down
here...but as to pills, in my view - the quicker you can get the business over
Dee,
I very, very strongly recommend giving him Immuno-Regulin (See
articles on www.felineleukemia.org
website). It helped my Patches recover from pneumonia quickly. I think I
only got her 1 shot. With Ginger it took 2 to get rid of a bad URI. Others have
had good results with it too. It
I just wanted to let everyone know that Smokey is
still doing good. He is still getting 2 injections
per week of equistim. He has gained some weight he is
up to 6lbs.4oz. from 5lbs.8oz. I am still giving him
the Pet Tinic and he has been going to the vet every 2
weeks to get a steroid
He's probably getting Winstrol to stimulate his
kidneys into making rbc's. It's great that he's
gained weight! I don't think the interferon can hurt;
in retrospect, I would have given it to Cricket had I
known what I know about it now. Glad he's a happy
kitty Cindy!

Are you giving these shots IV or sub-q? One person said she gave them
sub-q, but the bottle says it has to be IV...

Hey Cindy,
Equistim or something like that is probably what the
vet called it. It is the same thing as ImmunoRegulin.
Is your kitty getting the IR injected into a vein in
the arm/leg or are you just giving kitty the injection
in the skin (like sub-Q)?

Yes that is the name of it. I am just giving him an
injection in the skin. I have a diabetic cat (Katie)
that I have to give insulin shots. The needle sure
isn't as easy to get in the skin as an insulin needle
and I don't have much experience giving shots but I
get it done. The other vet I was

I took Smokey to a new vet on Wednesday and she got
his temp. back to normal and started him
immuno-regulan injections. She wants him to have a

rest at home. He started eating yesterday and ate
