Thanks, Kerry. I gave her MSM in addition to the Metacam last night. She is
still limping some today, but way less, and she is otherwise acting normal--
even jumping (I keep helping her down). I hope she is actually healing
from whatever it is, and not just feeling a little better from the meds, but
either way I am glad she is improving.
Have you tried the Immuno-regulin yet with Bandy, for his fevers?

Hi Michelle,
I have been dealing with Bandy's limping for almost 2 months now...At
first, I am sure he hurt himself by jumping down from his cat tower.
Since he doesn't have much depth perception cause of his eye disorder...Now he
waits for me to get him down..But the last 2 or 3 episodes of the limping seem
to be un-related to jumping...I have explored all the immune arthritis
problems with my vet like you had mentioned..There is really no way to know as
the blood work for kitties is usually not conclusive for the arthritis...only
way is to go to specialist for an MRI. His limping goes from one side to
the other..2 wks ago it was on the right and last week it was on the
left...and seems to affect both front and rear...I know it is really odd. He
has now had 6 adequan injections which you can only do one weekly for 6 wks in
a row...We have skipped a week or 2 though...If it continues, I would suggest
the adequan injection...It seems to work for Bandy..His temp has been up,
too...But she said that is probably due to more inflammation associated with
his leg..It is swollen at times,too. (soft tissue swelling)...But after a few
days that goes away...
She did suggest metacam, too. So maybe that will help your lil
Patches..
I also give Bandy 1/2 torbutrol for the pain. I have him on chondro-flex
daily..it has MSM in it and some other things for swelling/arthritis.
Keep us posted...
you 2 are in our thoughts and prayers. Also, hope Lucy is doing
better..
Kerry and Bandy
