Re: Pekoe & Digby - Update

[Marlene Chornie]

Nina,       I use the compounded liquid form of Doxycycline.  Until the liquid form came in, the vet gave me a few pills to start with, which they broke up for me since his dose was 1/3 tab. twice a day.  When I gave the pills, I used these things called Pill Pockets and they worked quite well.     I did receive your post about the VO availability in Canada, but the email address posted as "Email Protected".     I tend to agree with letting Pekoe remain "pudgy".  My intent with his weight is to reach a "happy medium" so to speak, as I wouldn't want him to develop other problems on top of everything else.     I neglected to mention in my update post that our vet did her University thesis on FelV when she was in vet school, and she also organizes continuing education seminars, etc. for vets in our area.  She has always given us sound advice in the past and we are so fortunate to have someone of her calibre as our vet.   Marlene
