SO
glad to hear you took breaks over the weekend, Nina. (Especially when you
live in such a lovely part of the country.)
Sending lots of healing thoughts for Gypsy. What a brave little kitty,
taking all those meds.
Keep
the daily treats up for Nina...hugs, Kerry
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.
