RE: Prayers needed for Inky - to kerry

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

Kerry, I will be praying so hard that Inky will fell better soon – my Hannibal had CRF and was on CRF support group and still am – so I know a bit about this disease – how high is his BUN – how about crea? Phos?  Is he on any phos. Binder?  Is he anemic at all ?  please post his  blood work if you can – also if you havne’t, you may want to join this group,, I leared so much about the treatment of this diease from this group  and here’s the GREAT website by Helen on CRF kitties and treatment and you might want to look . cats with CRF crashes sometimes which happened to hannibal.. but they do bounce back often, and Hannibal did – so keep thinking positive.. my two cents is that if there is something he likes to eat, don’t’ hesitate to give it to him right now.. we want him to feel good emotionally and physically – that’s important..   The group is [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Helen’s site is http://www.felinecrf.org/   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sherry DeHaan Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 7:14 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Prayers needed for Inky   Kerry many prayers and good thoughts going out to you and Inky.

Please keep him in your prayers...also Bandy is a little under the weather lately..he isn't eating as good as I would like, but no fever. Not quite sure what is up with him just keeping a good eye on him... Thanks everyone, Head butts to all your kitties, Kerry, Bandy and Inky Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
