Michelle,
Thank you for your prayers for Grace. She finally ate a little bit of
babyfood for me, so that makes me feel a little better.
Did you ask the sanctuary if they will pay your vet whatever it is they
pay their vet on retainer? That way, you'll at least be getting a
"discount" of the amount the sanctuary is paying. I know I mentioned
this before, I'm sorry if you addressed it somewhere else and I missed
it. Your vet (the one you trust), may be willing to accept whatever the
sanctuary pays, or at least give you a discount, because of the special
circumstances of your case.
I'm thrilled Bramble is improving. It's wonderful that he can see, even
a little bit. Won't it be wonderful to report to this crap vet that
won't help you, when/should Bramble fully recover!? That's what I'm
concentrating on, a full recovery to asymptomatic status for your sweet
Bramble.
Continued prayers for answers and good health,
Nina

I will certainly add Grace to my prayers - hope she ok soon.
I will try to answer the questions recently asked.
Due to Bramble having been adopted with FIV the sanctuary pay the vets
bills and I contribute what I can. The sanctuary have an acccount set
up with a specific Veterinary company that have a few surgery's but
the vets appear to have similar mind set. Brambles usual vet is ok but
is on holiday so the current vet is one he usually doesn't see. I
asked the sanctuary if I could take him to a vet where I pprefer but
they said no because a large discount from this chain of vets. I can't
wait for his usual vet to come back next week - she is much more open
to alternative medicine and may listen more to me - I hope. Meanwhile
this other vet has been pressuring for euthansia and there isn't
really anyone I can take him too yet as they will just back her up as
she is bound to have given them her opinion.
My dogs vet agrees more with me but the sanctuary wouldn't pay the
bills if he went there and I can't afford all the bills myself. I am
considerring asking her if she will look him over and give a second
opinion though and pay myself.
Virbagen Omega (what Bramble is on) is injected for FIV protocol but
can be administered orally if it purely for calicivirus. It can also
be used on dogs for certain conditions too.
Bramble has shown no more deterioration thank lord, and he followed my
finger with his eyes so he can see something at least - but one day at
a time. I will keep praying and nursing. I am going to try and pick up
interferon tomorrow when that vet is not in surgery.
