Hey Wendy. No problem...it is good information. Generally I believe in
holistic medicine and have even thought of taking Slinky to a holistic
vet (if I can afford it). I called someone yesterday to see if she
could come in and do some T Touch and accupressure with him. It's just
hard when you feel like everything you read says something different (I
remember going through that when I was trying to figure out what to feed
him). But at this point I feel like we're doing everything we can.
Not so good news on the Slinky front. We just got back from he
vet...took him in to give him his first shot of IR. They did another
CBC to get a baseline so we can tell if the IR is helping...and his HCT
is down to 7!!! It was 9 when we were there on Wed. :( But we gave
him the IR and I guess all we can do now is see if it works. He seemed
to perk up a bit when we got home, but nonw he's pretty much sacked out
on the bed. I'm really praying for a miracle...but I know I have to
love him enough to let go as well if that's what he needs. :'(
It's INCREDIBLY hard to let him sit under the bed alone, but I want him
to be in control of what happens with and to him, not me. He is back on
the bed now...sleeping. I'm praying the IR works as I think it's the
last thing we have left to try. The vet was shocked he hasn't lost
weight and isn't having trouble breathing...so he seems to still be
fighting. Thanks for all the GLOW!
Hugs
MJ & Slinky ^-^

Hey Marissa,
I feel kind of bad now sending that out. If I had
thought about it, I wouldn't have because stuff like
this does tend to stress out people who are already
stressed about their pet's health. I apologize. I am
not sure what to think about it. I am interested in
what other people think as well. I agree that the
people who are trying to sell this stuff have a vested
interest, but I also know people who are health
fanatics who do the same type of cleansing things.
And it's also scary to think about trying to do
something new while getting Slinky's body back under
control. I would be weary at this point, and if you
feel like doing more research, looking into it
couldn't hurt. Let me know if you find anything
corroborating it. Veterinarians have a vested
interest in this article not being true because they
lose business when animals are healthy.
I am so sorry you and Slinky are going through this
right now. It's SO hard-worrying about your furbaby
24/7. But you are right to try to be in tune with
what Slinky wants and respecting his space and wishes.
That's very big of you because it's so hard to do,
and not all of us are good at it. It's not surprising
you are getting sick with all the stress and lack of
sleep. Take care of yourself while you're taking care
of Slinky. I keep thinking about him all throughout
the week. I so want the little guy to rally and pull
through. I am hoping the IR really helps.
:)
