That's quite a story.  That's one thing about this list, whenever I'm
feeling overwhelmed, I can be assured that there's someone out there
with even more on their plate.  All of us who take in rescues know that
their chances of being healthy and strong are compromised.  Thank you
for doing what you do, not everyone has the strength to keep on facing
so many trials and heartaches.  I'm so sorry to hear about Twinkletoes,
but I have higher hopes for her little sister since she has no symptoms
except her smaller size.  I don't think I'd put her through the stress
of tests and spend the money when she's not really sick, just weakened.
I'd put her and her remaining siblings on the same sort of supplement
regime that we do for felv kitties.  Do your best to boost her immune
system and get as much quality food into her as possible.  I have a good
feeling about her, (what's her name?).  
 
Hi Nina,

I named her Rorsarch after the test since she is black and white, but I call her Rory because she is not big enough for that other name.  Sometimes I call her Rory Bory.  She was a whirlwind of energy this morning, tearing up and down the stairs, but she is SO tiny.  She cannot be more than 2 pounds, and she is 5 months old.
 
 

How's her Momma doing now?
 
 
Her mom is ok.  She's on Flagyl at this time, which controls her symptoms.  She had 8 teeth out for the stomatitis.  She is not gaining any weight that I can see though.  She's about 6.2 pounds.
 

  I'm
a bit confused, is the one with the scarred cornea still with you?
 
Yes, he is still here.  His name is Obsidian and he's a big time lover boy.  He is pretty close to normal size, though not as fat as I would like. 
 

  Do
you have the kitty with spine problems on Glu/Chond and MSM?  My GSD,
Zevon, has degenerative spine disease and flax seed oil, (not as good
for kitties, you might want to try salmon oil for the omegas), Glu/Chond
and MSM, that with, believe it or not, exercise, is keeping him mobile
and enjoying life. 
 
She was just diagnosed last Tuesday and I haven't had time to research her condition.  She is on Val Syrup/Torbutol for pain.  My vet recommended 1.  Pain meds  2.  Steroids  3. CT scan to confirm - he only did 2 X ray views  4. Surgery if necessary.  Right now she is mobile and only has problems when you manipulate her tail, so I don't mess with her tail -however, the other cats do, so I am keeping her away from all of them but Missy (they are sisters and very bonded).
 

 Is Missy on CoQ10?  I've heard good things about
using it for heart problems.
 
 
Not yet, but I have plans to start her on it, along with L-Lysine and a few other things as well.  The internist didn't think it would do any good so I consulted with my regular vet.  I'm goign to start her at the cardiologist as I am not pleased with that internist at all.

My goodness girl, you sure do have your hands full.  I'm sending you
strength, energy and prayers to help you do Spirit's work.  Bless you
and everyone in your household,
Nina
 
Thanks Nina!:)
