I'm very interested by your open prescription arrangement, Jill! No vet ever suggested that to me, so thanks for that nugget of info. I'm going to push for it now, esp as the compounds take 24 hours (more at a holiday)--I've never got them the same day as they're prescribed, plus, the vets have rarely agreed to prescribe without seeing the patient first. Will be thinking of you and Gary, and hoping she does just fine. Kerry

Oh no, do not worry about alarming me. I have already told my b/f that we need to be vigilant and aggressive with any sign of infection. However, we haven't seen ANY snot at all yet and only 3-4 sneezes per day. So I figured we'd supplement the he** out of her this long weekend and keep a good eye on her. If she starts to get snotty or doesn't eat as much, she'll go in to the vet right away. I'm just wondering if there's another proven supplement I should try. I've heard from vets that vitamin C can cause bladder/kidney problems and is not proven effective for virus protection anyway. We actually have an open prescription for antiobiotics at a local pharmacy that compounds it for us. The vet did this for us so that we can give them to her at the first sing of infection. Right now she's still eating like a pig and every night I talk to my b/f she's up to some kind of trouble - very energetic. I'll be there all weekend so I'll have a better idea myself. We may have turned "hypervigilant" into "paranoid"! :) Jill __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Send holiday email and support a worthy cause.
