Re: ImmunoRegulin for Chelsea?

Hi Deanne,

I had my kitty Cricket on ImmunoRegulin only for about
a week or two, but lost him to anemia in November.  I
think I gave it to him too late.  Is Chelsea anemic? 
If so, you should also consider Epogen.  Other members
here have more experience with either of these than I
do.  Good luck with Chelsea and keep us posted.

Thanks Wendy.
 I've talked to others locally who have had their felv+ cats transfused, 
none of them said that they would do it again.  They all seemed to think 
that it was a lot to put their cats though in order to buy a little more 
time.  I tend to agree.  I had hoped that we'd caught Chelsea's anemia in 
time for the immunoregulin to take effect.  I still have a small amount of 
hope that she may turn around but the reality of what her blood work shows 
is hard to ignore.
 Chelsea had her blood drawn during an in-home visit by my vet Saturday.  
He was originally scheduled to visit to perform a euthanasia on another of 
my felv+ kitties MeCa who had developed lymphosarcoma.  MeCa crossed over 
very peacefully, I hope for the same for Chelsea.  Short of a miracle, I 
intend to make her last days as easy on her as possible and will continue 
with the immunoregulin, interferon and supplements.

 Thank you for your help and thoughts.  Deanne

RE: Deanne: ImmunoRegulin for Chelsea?

Deanne,

I'm so sorry to hear about your baby.  I chose not to
transfuse Cricket also, because I didn't really have
the money and I didn't want to prolong the inevitable
if it was indeed the inevitable.  In hindsight, and
had I had the 300-400$ (could be less elsewhere), I
would have done the transfusion, and treated him with
the doxy and Epogen.  I would have continued the
ImmunoRegulin (Equistim) and started him on
Interferon.  But things happen for a reason I believe,
and Cricket crossed over the bridge.  I miss him
terribly, but the good Lord has blessed us with
another kitten in the past few weeks, who uncannily
looks and acts just like Cricket minus one eye (she
had an auto accident before the people at the
shelter found her).   I was not conscious of how much
like Cricket she is when we adopted her from the
shelter, but now that we've had her for a couple of
weeks, it's really strange, and I consider it a
blessing. 

I am glad that MeCa crossed over peacefully.  That is
a blessing in disguise.  Only you and Chelsea know
what's best to do.  Listen to her and she will let you
know what she wants.  I am sorry you and Chelsea are
going through this right now.  Bless you for loving
and caring for Chelsea like you do.

:)

Deanne, 

 While I respect and believe the opinions of the folks you 
talked to, I am glad that I gave Simon his transfusions as he would have died 
months earlier without them giving him the chance to respond to chemo, and I 
believe Belinda gave Bailey a transfusion and his hematocrit came up to 40, so I 
assume she is glad she did it as well. The whole thing takes about 4 
hours. The only stressful parts are getting the catheter in and the fact 
that they have to be in a cage for about 4 hours.

Re: ImmunoRegulin for Chelsea?

With her count at 9.6 it is a good idea to get a cross matched 
blood transfusion, if you decide to do epogen I would get started right 
away, it can take up to three weeks to work.  Also I must again say I 
would be giving the doxy even though she tested negative for 
hemobartonella, many times cats will test negative again and again even 
thought they have it, and as I said the doxy won't hurt her but if she 
does have hemo will save her life.  My vet is currently treating a cat 
that isn't responding to the epogen and she has had several transfusions 
and only did better after getting an iron shot.  Vitamin B complex and 
folic acid are something I would start also, especially vitamin B12.


I send prayers for Chelsea, what does your vet think is causing the 
anemia?  We had a bone marrow asperiate done to diagnose what was 
causing Bailey's anemia, it is pre-leukemic Myloid Dysplasia.  There are 
many things that can cause anemia, and they all require different 
treatments.  Did your vet mention if the luekemia is non-regenerative?

Re: Deanne: ImmunoRegulin for Chelsea?


  Not sure why you are giving these
 immunoregulin, interferon and supplements ,

they are normally not the things used for very serious anemia???  These 
are mainly used as immune boosters before a serious condition exists or 
to help boost the immune system while using the things normally used to 
fight anemia, ie ... prednisolone, epogen, doxy, and as I said it really 
helps to know why a cat is anemic ... how are Chelsea's liver values.


PS.  I'm not impressed with your vet what has she/he done or suggested 
to find the cause for the anemia or to try and treat Chelsea???

Re: Deanne: ImmunoRegulin for Chelsea?


   Hi,
   Just to clarify, Bailey never had a transfusion, he didn't get low 
enough, but he certainly would have had he needed it.  My Teenye years 
ago needed a transfusion and it brought her count up from 9 or 10% to 30 
something %, don't remember exactly this was many years ago. 
Transfusions can definitely be a life saver and give the red cells time 
to mature depending on what is causing them to not mature, that's why it 
is so important to find out what is causing the anemia.

RE: New Special needs kitten

2006-04-17 Thread gblane

Poor baby.  I like acupuncture too.  Also, you might try syringing 
your kitty a little olive oil.  Also - for older kitties, I've used 
Lactulose (by prescription) - it's great stuff for improving those 
hard dry stools.   Also - could try syringing a little vitamin C 
(I've bought the stuff from Dr. Belfield at belfield.com)

No ideas here Karen, but good luck with the little
fella.  I'm sure he will flourish under your care.
I'll keep little Ozzie in my prayers.

Re: New Special needs kitten




I bet the people on the handicat2 list would be able to advise you on this. 
Is it OK, if I forward your problem to that list? They know all about broken 
spines, pelvis', expressing bowels and bladders, etc...

Re: Buddy has come to stay




Wow, that was bad at one time. Looks like he's lucky to have any of his ear 
left too, and fur, for that matter. Looks like a burn, did you say it was a 
burn? I forget the story behind it now...

Re: New Special needs kitten




yes please cross post

Re: New Special needs kitten




I cross-posted it for you, you should get replies in your main inbox, I 
asked people to reply directly to you. I do know at least a few of them went 
away for easter, so it might be later tomorrow before you hear much from 
anyone.
Have you tried slippery elm? I've seen that suggested many times in the 
past, on several lists.
Make sure he's getting enough fluids too, of course, some Sub-Q fluids 
wouldn't hurt if he's that solid, he's probably a bit dried out. How does he do 
with a pinch test for dehydration?

Poor baby, any idea what happened to him?

I'm not even sure there's much you can give a baby that young for pain. 
Metacam is really strong for such a wee tike, and a Duragestic patch would 
probably over dose the poor thing. Have you spoke to the vet about pain 
management at all? Can the kitten move around, or walk, at all? If he can move 
around, I'd suggest you offer him BOTH a hot pack, AND a ice pack, and let HIM 
decide which, if either, makes him feel better. I did that with Bones when she 
first broke her back, and she really seemed to opt for the warm pack most of the 
time. But don't put him on anything if he can't move off of it on his own free 
will.

How is you hit by car cat doing, any breaks there?

hi Jenn and thanks,
Ozzy was turned into an emergency vet clinic by "person who found him that
way" and they refuse to do anything but call a rescue. because of their rip off
prices I took him to my vet who took x rays and confirmed what I feared. Broken
pelvisHe could not walk at all when I got him now he is "walking" but not
well. He does fine with a pinch test so I wont sub q for the extra stress
I am giving piedilite and canned food for extra water. There used to be a recipe
for making slippery elm boiling it somehow anyone know it?
Bobby is Felv positive, and has URI
Superman the hit by car cat is almost my fault he lives in my neighborhood
and I asked his owner about 6 months ago to give him to me since I had room and
I would find him an indoor home away from danger. He refused. When we knocked on
the door and told him the fate of "his cat" he said we could do what ever the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] we wanted to with him it wasn't his. He put him under to clean the wounds
the leg is broke in places it cant be set, so we neutered and tested while he
was under. he is the sweetest baby you could possibly imagine. I should have
just "made him disappear" months ago.
My vet says both should heal on their own.
The JRT is deaf "had" one undescended testicle, heartworms hook worms round
worms and ring worm.all is fixed except his hearing I think he might be
staying :-)
Ashleigh, the chocolate lab I pulled the other day has hook worms and
heartworms..
Let's think about thiseverything listed above is PREVENTABLE.This
pisses me off to no end. Sorry all I needed to vent.

For Belinda, Rebecca, Janine, Marylyn, Clarissa, Becca





Hi all I'm 
wrapping up the letter with all your wonderful testimonials about the joys of 
living with and/or caring for FeLV cats to Paula Fasseas in hopes she will, as 
she indicated, assign one of the rooms in her new shelter to FeLV cats. 
Could you please also let me have your city and 
state to add after your name- I'll just be using first names of course (eg 
"Gloria, Little Rock, Arkansas"). I already have MaryChristine's, Wendy's, 
Terri's and Gloria's, but not Belinda's, Rebecca's, Janine's, Marylyn's, 
Clarissa's or Becca's. Many thanks, Kerry

Re: I'm back for a while again





Hey Jenn, I was thinking about you the day before you posted 
and wondering when we'd "see" you again!
Missed you---good to have you back! 
I know you had a lot on your plate a while back--hope things 
are going ok for you.
hugs, and welcome back! Kerry

  Hi everyone! Just dropping in to say hi and check out the goings-on 
  lately. I find myself lately sitting at my computer wondering why I'm sitting 
  there, cause there's no email or anything really to do. SO, I know going back 
  on mail on this group will fix that! No lack of email here, right? 
  
  Anyways, my condolences to everyone that has lost a baby while I was 
  away, and hi to any newbies that have joined in that period. I'm Jenn, but 
  probably, I know, not the only one (I'm going to change my name, but am 
  undecided on what to change it to at this point).
  
  If anyone in the North-eastern USA in the "New England" states has FELV+ 
  or FIV+ cats up for adoption, I'd be happy to put them up on my NE adoption 
  listing pages. 
  
  I currently have one cat up for adoption here now, in rescue. He's a very 
  sweet FIV+ boy, who gets along GREAT with kids and dogs, but has never seen 
  another cat until he came here, and is just not so sure he cares for them (I 
  think he thinks he's a dog). SO, if anyone in NE wants a GREAT FIV+ boy, 
  healthy as can be, sweet, loving, even-tempered, good with kids and BIG dogs 
  (his buddy was over 100lbs rotty/shepherd), send them my way. Zack would love 
  to be part of a family, and not stuck in a cage all alone here.

  I've posted more pictures of him, including a closeup where you 
  can see the old injury to the left side of his face. It seems a miracle 
  that he didn't sustain any damage to that eye. We discovered yesterday 
  that he's missing the lower canine tooth on that side.http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b298/landlimo/Buddy/Beccawendy

Re: New Special needs kitten




Jenn,
Superman is doing well even starting to put weight on the leg so we are not 
considering amputating yet. The infection is under control. He gets 
basically he looks a lot worse than he is.
Hank my "genetically defective JRT" seems to have come from bad lines. Thus 
the crypt testicle and the deafness. Oh forgot to mention he had CCD... we are 
trying to train him on hand signals but he has the attention span of 2.2 
seconds. But this walking vet bill has captured my heart the likes I have not 
seen in a while. His stitches come out in a few days and everything else has 
beentreated and he will be ready for adoption(?) I had terrible 
"Hank withdrawls" when he went in for his neuter spoiling him terribly when he 
got home and even smiled when he proceeded to pee on my pillow(he never did 
anything like that before) Dr Wilson said he was hurting and after attention. 

http://members.petfinder.org/~TX418/index.html 
to see the pics on my home page for this handsome guy. 
Bobby will get over his URI I caught it early enough. Its minor and he is 
getting herbs too.
Ashleigh just has heartworm larvae and can wait a few weeks till I get 
caught up..
thanks for letting me ventI just hate when its preventable.

Re: Please add Chaucer to CLS




Sherry,
My heart breaks for you, I have many that are injured but they are still 
with me and I have to remember that.
