Subject: Update on Cricket's vet visit
First I want to thank all of you who took the time to
say the kind and encouraging words you did, and for
the thoughts and prayers. I REALLY appreciate them
and so does Cricket. The vet helped to alleviate some
of my fears yesterday; he did not come across as
hopeless or fatalistic, but rather helpful and calm,
which in turn encouraged me. He gave Cricket a shot
of Winstol to help stimulate his kidneys to promote
red cell production, increase appetite, and build
muscle back. He gave me a bottle of Baytril, which is
a broader spectrum and stronger antibiotic than the
Clavimox Cricket has been on. It also should help
fight any hemobartranella, which is a microplasma that
could be in his blood and causing or helping increase
the anemia. He gave me a bottle of Prednisone, which
is also good for stimulating red cell production. He
also told me to give him 100 iu.'s of Vitamin E, 8
oz's of liquid, and said a general vitamin would be
ok. The only thing I hesitated on was that he would
have to refer me out to put Cricket on Immuno Regulin,
and I wasn't sure that it would be good to wait to see
if he will respond to the current treatment or get him
on the IR right now. So I am ok for now; hopeful.
Cricket is not happy with me as everytime he sees me,
it seems I am sticking something down his throat. He
did not tear up the vet though, which is a good thing.
I hope to be reporting good news to this group in the
next couple of days. God bless all of you and your
little furballs of joy.
