Marissa,
What a WONDERFUL UPLIFTING story
Dr. G. sounds awesome
I know that there are (a few) great vets out there, mine being one of them.

had (too) much contact w/ the other ones sadly
I was not aware of
Hi All,
I brought my cat in for an ultrasound yesterday to check on his kidneys and
his stomach. Lately, he's not been eating very much and he has been having
bad constipation. He's had constipation his whole life - he'll normallly
have to run around the house for a while before he'll make a

3 weeks.
Still never found out why. Thought I would lose her. I was frantic,

Thank heavens she finally came around -after a
Just wanted to add - I only wish ALL (even just some) were like that!
I just told Nina, off list, I fired all my (many) doctors!
Since it's highly unlikely I can get a Dr. like House, maybe I should ask my
vet to treat me.
Hugs,
Patti her gang
Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish more people felt this way!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about the problems your baby Abu is having. Immunoregulin
is supposed to be a good immune system booster. I'm impressed with your vet.
If I had a can that was constipated, I'd probably start sub-q fluids, and/or
give 1 cc or so of daily lactulose. Have had older cats

That was just too too sweet. I actually cried. I feel exactly that way about
my baby as I'm sure all of you do. Its the small triumphs that keep us all
going, isn't it?. Abu's grooming himself now and is purring. My heart's
purring right along with him! And yes, my baby can depend on me a 110%.

Not to scare you but if your cat does have lymphoma and it is the
fast growing agressive lymphoma he won't live long enough to build up
his immune system. My Skeeter was diagnosed with lymphoma in 1992, back
then vets (at least mine) didn't tell you slow or fast or what the
difference was
I see your also on the feline lymphoma list, me too, my Buddie had
cancer in 2003, lost her in 2004 about a year later, hers was a slow

on the chemo and I freaked out and stopped it (if I had it to do over

I have had a little experience with immunoregulin.
The vet gave it to my Smokey because he kept on
running a very high fever. It seemed to help him. I
don't know anything about the other meds. Sorry. I
hope he starts feeling better and that he doesn't have
lymphoma.

If you think this cat won't take more than average acclimation time I
can take
her at any time when ever its good time at your end...
I have a smaller cage that is set up and empty right now and so long as
she doesn't have to
stay in it for a long time she should be fine...
Nazleen,
I understand how you feel about not wanting to give your little
sweetheart injections. It won't help him one little bit to give in to
your fear about it. Just put on your nurses hat and detach yourself
from the discomfort of it as best you can. Approach it and Abu with a
positive,
My Pippin was a slight positive on the ELISA at six weeks of age and came up
negative on the IFA five months later. The vet thinks it was a false positive.
But, it's possible Pippin could have thrown the virus.
