Have you tried a holistic/alternative vet? Or AC's? You would be surprised
what a cat will tell an AC it trusts. There are volunteer groups (they tell
me) on the internet. Dixie has been able to tell me that she was spayed and
certainly didn't need spaying again, even if the vets couldn't find the scar
(hormone tests proved her right), when she has a flea (even one or two causes
hot spots), if she needed to go to the vet after the pet food scar (long story)
etc.
I've been off computer and really don't know what all you have tried but I know
of two avs that are great.
For some reason I have to believe you need to try Just Born or some other
colostrum containing supplement for your little friend. That may help and I
can't believe that mother's milk would hurt.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Hi Tad,
I agree, rescuing a declawed shelter cat is the perfect solution for those
that
"must" have a declawed cat. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck
suggesting this
to people yet, (even when I tell them how much money they can save) as they
all
seem to want itty-bitty kittens. In my case, I WANT the claws, I am just
considering a possible declaw in the distant future if I can't figure out what
is making his head itch so bad that he kicks it open...

Nobody can get upset if you tell people you rescued your declawed cat
from a shelter already declawed...
