Denise, Just had to reply - isn't it funny how our kitties now exactly what needs to be done. I finally did get a baby scale in order to monitor my Collette's weight. After a few struggles and really just attempting to weigh her twice a week, its hilarious because now, if I am not up by 6:30 am she wakes me and by the time I get out to the kitchen to get their food, she is already sitting on the scale!!! - Like you said, ok, get it over with, I want to eat. With our supervised feedings, Cossette has actually picked up a little and instead of looking like a concentration camp kitty at 7 lbs (she has a very long body and very long legs), she is up to around 8.5 lbs and looks good. Antoinette who has always been too overweight (16.5 lbs but is a short and small boned kitty) is now slimming down to around 13 lbs. I have to admit though, Cossette and Antoinette don't take to the scale as easily as Collette did and If I can weigh they every other week, I am happy. Bonnie from Ohio
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/19/02 01:47PM >>> Salina, That is great news !! It sounds like your new vet is a much better than the last one. If Buffy is confirmed as FeLV, she will need to stay on the Interferon throughout her lifetime. But it's real easy to administer though and not very expensive. I get 100 ml for $25.00 here in California. At 1 cc a day, it lasts quite a while. My FeLV kitties, Carmine, Lenny and Zinnie (and angels Squiggy & Laverne) know that they have to take their Interferon (1cc/daily) first thing each morning. After that they get their breakfast. Carmine is the funniest, he walks right up, jumps in my lap and opens his mouth for me to squirt it in !! Like "Geez - Hurry up already with the medicine --- I WANT TO EAT !! :-) My fur babies and I are sending healing vibes and prayers to Buffy. Hope she feels better soon. Denise
