Tad, did you read my hint about hiding the abx pills in pill pockets?

Chester seems to have the same problem as my cat that I mentioned a
couple days ago...
Chronic gum problem I called it... My cat has had most of his teeth
pulled and he still
has the problem.. I have had this pos cat for 3 years now and he has
always had this problem
but he is healthy active boy otherwise... The main worry is he doesn't
eat enough when it is bad...
Because his gums are sore he hates to be force feed and runs and hides
from us when ever we
have feed equipment in hand...
Antibiotics work but they taste bad as well as hurt him so they are
very difficult to give..
Interferon tastes like water and so its usually easier to give... And
it does seem to help...
I say it seems to be a drug that works for a lot of what ails FeLV+
cats...
The problem is that it tends to loose its effectiveness if used too
much... At 1st my vet
was reluctant to use it until the kitty was really sick... But after
seeing how quickly FeLV+
kitties can crash and die he has let me give it when ever I feel I
should...
And I would say try it with Chester...
My vet has 30 years of dairy cow/farm practice under his belt and
before I came along
I don't think he had tried to save an FeLV+... But I still remember
how his face lit up when
I said no to PTS on my 1st POS test and asked what are the
alternatives... When I hear of
something new on here and tell him about it and later I find he has
looked it up...
My vet is not a young specialist with all the latest knowledge but I
think he is the best....
I to was wondering about Imunno regulan for the gum problem as it is
given IV rather
than orally...
