Thank you Kerry. I appreciate your concern and healing thoughts. I
know it's important to take care of me too, but so hard to do. I
actually forced myself to take some time away from the babies this
weekend. Even though it was only a couple of hours each day, it was
really hard to tear myself away!
I'll write more later, but my vet put little tiny Gypsy on 5 different
meds, 2x a day. We still don't know what's causing her problems,
hopefully we'll know more when we get the results the blood they sent
out gets tested. My vet is actually hoping it's pancreatic
insufficiency so we have something concrete to treat.
Thanks for the good will Kerry,
Nina

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
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 have been discussing it, and some of us have gotten it through our vets
getting FDA permission to import it.
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.
