Thanks everyone for all your support. This group makes me know I am not alone in my time of need.
I am so sorry to hear about the recent losses of Hertzie, Bubba, and all the other precious babies. I finally got a call back from the vet's office and got a new prescription for Junior's eye which is better but it is still inflamed. It is Gentamicin drops. I am not familiar with this. I hope I can get the drops in his eye. I realize that my vet is a GP but is the best I can afford for Junior. It is a very busy practice and the people working there really care. I feel that boils down to the fact the Vet's must really care as well. The receptionist commented how good I was at taking care of my cats bringing them in every week for their immunoregulin shots and getting the others vaccinated. I do know Dr Staunton took home the papers on the Alferon. Junior and Tiny are due for their immunoreg shots January 5th. I will see what she thinks about using alferon in addition to the IR. Tiny is still asymptomatic. I am hoping he may test negative at a later date. If received all his vaccinations last week with no adverse effects. They even gave him FeLV vaccine. I will most likely not vaccinate Junior for anything. He is already current on rabies which doesn't matter since he does not go outside. Thanks Sally Hi Sally, Thanks for the good news about Junior's improvement. It's so frustrating to feel like you're bugging the vet for answers. Most of us have been there. When that happens to me I become a polite, apologetic, squeaky wheel until I get some attention. Is this a GP vet you are seeing? I'd ask for a referral to an Internist. You might not be getting responses because your vet doesn't have the answers you need and they are too busy to research for you.
