Since Brenda is having her tests done today, do you think I should get in touch w/ Christine and make sure she has room.. Like I said, she's very rescue friendly, her rates are very reasonable, actually dirt cheap. It would be a great thing, and a very wise move to get Lovey moved to

I absolutely agree...but our Burboy was neither shaved nor had anything squirted onto his chest (he was bone dry)! I should've asked to be with him to see just exactly how they did it! :( - Original Message - From: tamara stickler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, February 9, 2005

Wellness never admitted to any problem. They just said that my cats probably did not like the change in water from the new plant (Boston). If your cats do well on it, I would just chalk it up to a fluke. I did change mine to Eagle Pack and never regretted it. They look the best and have

Thanks to Jenn and those of you who replied, Lucy got her ultrasound with no shaving or gel. The vet said it would not work, but tried and said she was so surprised at how clear the image was that she wanted to start trying more of them without shaving. So you helped not only Lucy (and me, who

Joan, I don't know what the thickening of the intestines is from, but I would really be concerned about Roxie not eating for a week. Hepatic Lipodosis can result frequently from a cat's failure to eat and w/out immediate intervention, ie: a feeding tube, it is often fatal. I've seen this

Is thickening of the intestines indicative of IBD? I have no idea, Joan, but she has to eat. Thefatter/bigger cats are more likely to get fatty liver disease faster than 'normal sized' cats. I don't remember what the association there is. My cat I lost from fatty liver disease was a huge cat, and
