Nina, I don't know much about holistics, but have always been
interested. But I know it's the holidays and time is scarce, so I
won't impose to ask for a crash course, but I'd love to know what's
worked for other FeLV cats. I think we will hold off on the
antibiotics for a while until he's doing better. But I was so
impressed with just a week or so's worth of Lysine's effect on Cotton's
lymph nodes. (Thank you Jen!)
Cotton is not a big fan of yogurt,
although we tried it and it worked (he's more of a string/lettuce/Hot
Cheetos kind of guy), but we can put it in his wet food. I know his
gut flora is most likely a mess since he was so loaded with bacteria.
And of course the minute I bragged
on Cricket, she did corner Cotton today, but I believe he was a little
rambunctious with her, and that upsets her. She looked so sad when we
all jumped up to see what the commotion was, and she ran to the bedroom
to hide under the nightstand. I went and told the nightstand that if
Cricket was listening, it's ok, sometimes we all slip up from time to
time, and I know she's trying.
And
to answer your question, Cotton's feeling just positively, 100% better
today. I would go so far as to say he is zippy. He's happy and back
to mischief, running at top speed all over the place, a blur of orange
and white, stalking and pouncing as if he had catching up to do! Which
is good to see, except he tried to steal a bite of pecan pie today off
of an unsuspecting victim's plate. Dah! What am I going to do with
him? He's like a little tabby spotted toddler.
The ER Vet gave me his x-rays on CD,
so I am taking it to the regular vet tomorrow to see if they recommend
an ultrasound. I also thought she was very good, and was glad for her
opinion.
Thank you so much for asking and
being concerned about him.
Your suggestions are very much
appreciated.
Sandy.
