For Nina

[MacKenzie, Kerry N.]

Title: Message

Dear Nina I only just read your complete email (the part to Michelle). I want you to know I'm sending many good, healing thoughts your way for Gypsy and Jazz, and Zevon too. It's clear that all your little ones' problems are (not surprisingly) weighing heavily on you, and so I'm sending zillions of positive thoughts for you too - among them for the downward spiral to quit spiralling downward, do a quick turnaround, and start spiraling upward NOW. Please be sure to give yourself a treat--however small--today, and every day, Nina! (You probably aren't inclined to do it for yourself, but I know you'll do it for the little furballs, who need their mom to be ok!) Sending lots of love and cyberhugs to you, dear Nina, and the little sweethearts ~~ take care, Kerry         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 1:55 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: VO through online pharmacies? Thank you Jenn for the heads up.  Michelle had told us about the Best Friends forum, and I hope everyone is tuning in.  I haven't been keeping up, but I certainly intend to go back and read them carefully.  I also wonder if the vet that has been so gracious as to give her time to the BF forum, might help us out with answering questions on the list.  Something else I intend to look into when energy permits. Hi Michelle, There was a hold up in my last order of VO (feline interferon), but my vet got confirmation the day before yesterday, so it's on it's way.  We definitely should be checking into the possibility of ordering it (with prescription/approval) from a different source.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was some competition to drive the price down?  I have very little energy these days, but as soon as I can, I'll check it out. I took Gypsy in to my internist yesterday.  Somehow they got some blood out of her, (like water from a stone, poor little thing) and they're going to run some tests.  Please send good thoughts our way that we find out what is truly going on with her, instead of just treating symptoms, (which of course hasn't worked).  I brought Jazz's xray in and she confirmed that Jazz was in very bad shape and it may have been lymphoma, she didn't think it was fluid, and at the moment I can't tell you why.  My mind is mush. (lack of sleep, deluge of tears, general indications of dementia, etc.)  I also got my GP to write something up for me and I'll type it in and send it to the list later. Grace continues to do very well.  I heard from the folks that adopted the 6th kitten from my litter (his name is Lucky), and he is doing great, no problems whatsoever.  They still haven't had him tested.  He's an only cat and is exclusively indoors.  When we discovered the litter's + status, they made the decision to only test him if he gets sick.  So, that's 3 out of 6 gone, one with symptoms, one that we know has tested neg and one that seems just fine.

We should look into the online pharmacy thing, but I think without FDA approval there is a risk of the stuff being confiscated by customs, and you will not get a refund from the pharmacy if that happens either.
