Hi Kerry,
This is so terribly frustrating, poor Bandy! It is wonderful that he
seems so fine when his temp goes down. I sure hope the specialist can
get to the bottom of this. I know we've thrown some suggestions out
there, why don't you print out the posts about Bandy from us and the FIV
list and highlight the things you want to go over with the Internist,
(like Michelle's suggestion about Immuno-regulin etc.)? I know
sometimes when I get in the vet's office, especially when it's so
important, I don't always think straight. This way you'll be sure to
ask everything you need to. Just bring the notes in with you and read
questions right off the page, don't forget to bring a pen to write the
answers down! I can't tell you the number I've times I've asked a
question, listened intently to the answer, and then promptly forgotten it!
I sure hope you get to the bottom of what's causing that temp soon.
Please let us know what happens. We're all pulling for you and Bandy.

Hi everyone,
I took Bandy in to the vet today and he had 106.2 temp again...Anyway,
he got a dex injection and it always seems to help...When we got home,
he went straight to the food bowl and had some dry and can...He has
eaten again since then, too...he had only gained another ounce..but he
is up to 6 lbs 13 oz...so lots better than 5.8...He is so tired
though...I guess the temp keeps draining him and this one was alot
higher than it usually gets...All I could do from Monday is get him to
drink some and eat very little..
We do have an appt. with an internal med. specialist in Dallas next
Tues..so we are going to try to keep the temp down as best we can and
keep him eating and all to make the trip...It is about 140 miles away
from us, but maybe they can come up with something to help him...
Please keep him in your prayers...I hope they can find an easy
solution to his illness..and all...
We will be thinking of all of you and your kitties and hope they are
all doing well today..
Still being new here I only know a few so far, but I wish you all the
best...
Grace, Bramble and Tater Tot...
Thanks for all of your support and input..you are a great group..
Kerry and Bandy
