Sue, thank goodness he is with you now. Sounds like he might have a chance with a little help. Just keep loving him. Sharyl

I am so angry that a supposed rescue group could let him get into such bad shape. He only weights about 3 1/2" lbs. He has a horrible case of ear mites. He has an eye infection and an upper respiratory infection. The fact that he can't seem to put on weight may be caused by a genetic defect of the liver (liver shunts?). A blood panel was taken and his urine is being tested. The one good thing is that he does not seem to be a bit anemic. His appetite is also good. He ate most of a can of Wellness today. So - now we await the results of the tests. I will not hear back from the vet until Tuesday because they are going out of town. He is on Doxycycline for his eye infection and the respiratory infection. They also gave him a treatment of ear mite/flea medication that they put on the back of his neck. He is such a wonderful sweet kitty. He just loves to be loved. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
