My Ziggy

[Laura Bond]

hi! my name is Laura and I am a new subscriber to this list and this is my 
first submission.  I just wanted to tell you about my cat Ziggy.  I rescued 
him from a chicken coop where he had no food, water, or litter. He adjusted 
well and when he was neutered, the vet told me he had Feline Leukemia.  That 
vet was basically uninterested in treatment and told me "he'll die in 6 
months to 2 year, just make him comfortable", with that curt reponse, i 
decided to get a second opinion.  I took him to Falls Road Veterinary 
Hospital in Baltimore Md.  This is where world famous vet Dr. Kim Hammond 
(on the radio, and T.V., also helps out with animal rights on movie sets" 
calls home.  I met with Dr. Huggins, and we discussed Interferon, which is 
what many people diagnosed with HIV or AIDs take.  This medicine encourages 
kitty's white blood cells to keep him healthy.  I thought the treatment 
would be expensive but it only cost me 30$ for a 2 month supply (not bad)!. 
Ziggy is adjusting well and LOVES his medicine, which the doctor flavored 
with tuna.  He is doing well and hopefully will live a long, full life.  To 
everyone out there keep your hopes up and get a second opinion! It's the 
best thing I could have done. If you would like to talk personally wrtie to
