That's heartbreaking about Jennie, MaryChristine. I'm very sorry. Kerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TenHouseCats Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 12:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: OT cat-safe roach control
bonnie, no one had ever told me that persians are exceptionally sensitive to pesticides/flea preparations, and the roach infestation was so bad in this one house that we had to have an exterminator in monthly; it was a really bad flea year, too--this was before topical treatments--so the cats were getting bathed every week.... lost one persian to anemia/poisoning--died in my arms as we rushed her to the vet, and almost lost another..... it took me a very long time to forgive myself for jennie's death--and it still makes me angry that no vet before or since ever warned me about persians and this susceptability. (yeah, of COURSE it makes sense with their little smushed faces, but i just never thought about it...) my gift to jennie--and yours to fred flintstone, is to make sure that it doesn't happen to anyone else's critters.... (jennie's spirit taught me that i had done the best i could with the information i had at the time--she knew i would NEVER have done anything intentionally to hurt her....) -- MaryChristine AIM / YAHOO: TenHouseCats MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 289856892 This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
