RE: for Kerry: update on my battle

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

Hi, Kerry, I am supposed to take Hannibal for an appointment this afternoon – I so dread to do this for a obvious reason..the last time I looked, he was on the top of the self which makes it a bit difficult to get him.. so we will see – I am just worried that he may be anemic.. I learned that its’ not an uncommon problem among CRF cats – his HCT has been somewhere around 42 in the past years.. two months ago, it was like 32 – it’ still within the normal range.. but I am worried… just like feLV support group, you will hear about a kitty crossing over CRF every day.. and I am so worried… he told my AC, Jasmine a few months ago that he might not be here for that long.. so I guess I am just thinking about that, too.. hopefully, he just was not feeling that well (he had UTI during that time..) –   Kerry, I don’t know what’s wrong with Ceaser.. he just does not eat on his own.. and I am just worried – How about he never eats on his own.. he hates it when I force feed him..   Though.. what I may be going through is not so devastating.. compared to what Nina is going through with Grace… It just so sad … and I can’t stop thinking about them..   hideyo   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kerry MacKenzie Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 11:47 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: for Kerry: update on my battle   Dear Hideyo I'm praying for Hannibal. I hope that it's just some minor illness he has...hope he recovers quickly. I think it's so wonderful (but not surprising knowing the love and empathy you have for your furballs, Hideyo) that the little soul has grown to trust you totally. That's an amazing achievement, when he was once so feral.  You should be so proud! Good luck with the annoying paperwork (what a waste of your time huh?). I'm sure your boyfriend is taking his involvement in stride. It's great that the kitties have a special enclosure where they can play in his yard too--he sounds like a good cat guy! SO good to hear Caesar and Annie are on the mend--don't you love it when you see them start to eat again! with love and hugs to you and all your honeys, Hideyo Kerry     ----- Original Message ----- From: Hideyo Yamamoto To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 8:15 AM Subject: RE: for Kerry: update on my battle   Hi, Kerry, thank you for thinking of me and my furballs --- just when you feel like you hit the bottom in your life and feel so lonely and feared… reading your email and knowing that you care (and many people on the list) is such a priceless gift to me….   I am still in the middle of trying to take care of paper work with Animal control – one bad thing is that my boyfriend who lives next door was also reported though he really does not have any animals of his…so now they are coming to his house.. so I also have to take care of the stuff.. sine some of my FIV boys visit the outside enclosure we built in his property..   I think Ceaser and Annie are doing better--- Ceaer still does not want to eat on his own… but I saw him nurse so I know he has some appetite --- maybe he just does not want to be weaned..   Now I am worried about my CRF boy, Hannibal.. he does not want to eat as much and he is acting like he is not feeling fabulous.. he is one of my very first feral in US – I have been giving him fluid every couple of days – I think I might need to take him back to the vet to see how the bloodwork shows…   Kerry, and anyone who reads the posting, please pray Hannibal that he is going to feel better – He was so feral when I first found him several years ago, now it’s amazing that I can even touch him and pet him.. and I love him so very much ..   Thank you!

Hope you're ok--just want you to know I'm thinking of you--we all are. I'm sending out positive vibes for this guy to get moved on too (like the good one before him was). Let us know when you get time. love and hugs Kerry
