Re: Ginger

Thank you, Belinda.  Ginger was eating a little like that until 2 days ago and now will not even look at food-- she runs to the other end of the room when I put it in front of her.  That is actually why I am feeling hopeless.  But maybe it is just the combination of her mouth hurting, the trauma of surgery, and the URI.  I hope that is all it is, and that she recovers from it. I am worried that she has something like leukemia or diffuse lymphoma or something like that.   I forgot to have her tested for bartonella. I will ask the internist to do that on Monday. Maybe that is what it is...   Michelle   In a message dated 5/13/05 1:46:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: wanted to put him to sleep when he tested positive, she said he wouldn't recover.  In my mind he had a cold and that wasn't a reason to euthanize not to mention he was my baby, a big momma's boy.  So I told her to give me antibiotics and took him home.  He didn't eat very good but I kept bugging him and I didn't have a computer or know about syringe feeding so I would just put food in front of him constantly and he would eat a little but he didn't eat much and he was very sick.  His poor little nose was all snotty and I know he couldn't smell anything.  Thankfully he ate enough to not get HL, but he had this URI for over 5 weeks before it cleared up, he was on antiobiotics for over 3 weeks.  He looked awful BUT he did recover and lived 3 more years before anemia took him.
