Thank you all for sharing these uplifting stories. I'm tempted to print them out and show to my vet. I called his office this morning and asked the assistant if I could possibly fax a list of questions and suggestions regarding BooBoo's care and then come in to talk to him. Well he called me back at work and thanked me for doing that and even mentioned how "intelligent" and "informed" I was. I told him I had been doing a lot of reading and all these suggestions came from this group. I thought he might laugh at it but he was very impressed. He is totally in agreement about the course of Doxycycline and said tonight we'd sit down and discuss the use of Interferon. I know it is going to cost us a fortune, everything does over here, but just by chance my dad gave me a thousand dollars for my birthday so that will certainly help. He did mention that they do transfuse animals but the same problem would surface in time and it can be dangerous anyway. Not even going to consider that one.
So that's where we stand. He needs to be checked tonight for his breathing and runny nose and come up with some way to get him to eat more. Nothing I've offered him seems to meet his approval. Talk to you all later. Lynne
