Re: Charlie Brown and little Sister Oscar to CLS
I'm just now getting back to my email as I was on vacation. I am so sorry to hear about Oscar and Charlie. It does sound as though Oscar wanted to be with Charlie; they had a special bond.

Re: Anyone know how much it is for anal sac removal?
Hey Wendy, My dog has anal impaction problems. It can literally be a pain in the a** for both of us. I can't imagine taking him into the vet everytime they need to be expressed. I have found that if I do it before he starts chewing at himself, things go easier for us. The anal glands can become inflamed/infected and be very painful to deal with if you wait too long. I do it regularly, (2x monthly). I think it's a very good idea for you to have your vet watch and talk you through it the first time at least. I looked into the surgery when I first found out Vladdy had this trouble, and decided against it because my research showed that it was a very delicate procedure and can leave them worse off than before. I wouldn't be looking for a bargain when it comes to something like this. If you decide to do the surgery look for someone that has a lot of experience no matter what they charge. It could end up costing you more in $ and misery if you don't. Nina wendy wrote: Hey Marylyn, I'm taking her in this afternoon to have them expressed.

To Marissa: Re: Some Good News (for a change)!
Marissa, Loved reading your post. Congratulations on your new family! I think you will all be very happy once everyone is settled into their routine. These two kitties are very lucky to have you. :) Wendy --- Marissa Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't written in a while and I've been a bit slow to update you all...life has been pretty crazy lately! WARNING: this is LOOONG! Sorry! lol As I think I mentioned when Slinky went to the bridge, I promised him I would get another baby to take care of me. The first one he sent me came home about 3 weeks ago. About 5 minutes before I left to pick him up, when I was feeling a bit sad about Slink, he sent me a DOUBLE rainbow from the bridge!!! It was quite spectacular! And now I haveTWO new furbabies in my family! The second one arrived this past weekend. About 3 weeks ago I adopted a beautiful tabby boy who has CH (cerebellar hypoplasia). He's a classic silver/gray tabby and a very sweet little boy! He's 6 months old and lived in a shelter (first in PA, then in DC) his whole life until I got him. His CH appears to be fairly mild as CH goes - he walks fairly stiff-legged and kind of swaggers when he walks. He falls down if he gets really excited, and it often takes him a bit longer to climb onto things. He has a tougher time getting down, but he's learned to fly through the air and execute a pretty good roll landing! He almost never lands on his feet. He also has Herpes, so I'm giving him lots of Lysine and washing his eyes with a goldenseal and ecchinacea wash. Because my bed is fairly high off the ground and has wood side boards on the sides, I knew he'd have a really tough time getting up there, so I built him a ramp complete with side rails and a cork runner for traction. :) He's become a master at using it both to get up AND down from the bed! I also got some small pet stairs for getting onto the couch and he learned to use those just in the last few days. His name is Mouse - his idea, not mine! Since he's gray (ok, MC, blue/silver) and squeaks when he meows, it seems the perfect name, and he responds to that and nothing else, so He's got a motor that never quits and he loves to cuddle. One of my favorite nick names for him, though, is Hoover because he inhales his food the second I put it down! I'm feeding him Nature's Variety raw supplemented with Evo dry...and he seems to love it all! This past weekend I added another baby to the family. Her name (at least for now) is Georgia - but we'll see if she decides she wants to change it. She was feral for the first 8 months of her life and then 2 months ago was brought in for TNR, but they decided she was too sweet to put back. She was fostered by a wonderful woman and her 2 cats, but the woman was not able to give her a forever home and needed to place her by May 1. She's gray tabby and white, with an adorable little white spot on the very tip of her tail! Georgia's foster and a woman I met through MC drove about an hour from VA to my house with her and brought all kinds of supplies, etc. with them! Her first hour or so was quite adventurous. When I let her out of the carrier, we let her explore the living room, etc. and left her alone for a few minutes while we went in my bedroom to see Mouse. When we came back she had gone under the couch (which is really a twin bed)...no big surprise. BUT she crawled up INSIDE the box spring...and got STUCK!!! We almost had to cut one of the wires to get her out, but she finally came out on her own. Was quite the stressful day for all of us!! lol So...we got her into the guest room where she's been ever since. Send thoughts and prayers her way, though, as she hasn't been eating much, if at all! I've tried every food known to man (and feline) and have had little luck. She did eat a LITTLE of her canned food (9 lives - from the foster) and her dry (purina - from the foster), and tonight I got some a/d down her. But it's been a major challenge...and I'm pretty worried about her! Mouse hasn't quite decided what he thinks of this new addition (nor has she decided what she thinks about him). But I'm sure that over time they'll come to love each other. They both chrip and meow a lot, so I think they're a good pair. Georgia loves to sit on my chest, purr, and give kisses and love. She's a VEEERY sweet girl!!! If you haven't been to Slinky's myspace in a while, check it out - it's been updated with pics of the rainbow he sent and several poems I wrote for him in the blogs. www.myspace.com/slinkecat You can also check out Mouse's myspace: www.myspace.com/motormouse1. I haven't done one for Georgia yet (waiting on a CD of pictures from her foster mom), but she does have a catster page: http://www.catster.com/cats/531393 Mouse's catster

From Michelle
Hi all,Michelle wanted me to pass this on to everyone here,to ask for prayers for her sweet Patches. Sherry Hi,all Patches, my one remaining positive, has been in the hospital for the last 3 days. I was scared (as was the local vet) that it was FIP or lymphoma. It turns out it is severe pancreatitis and ketoacidotic diabetes. She has done better than expected and, if she responds ok today to longer-acting twice/day insulin (she has been on 4 x/day) she can come home tonight (fingers crossed). FIP can sometimes cause pancreatitis, so it is not definite she does not have it, but there are no present indications that she does, knock on wood. The vets warn that it will not be easy to keep her well or get her over the pancreatitis or the diabetes, but we are going to try our best! She is eating a little diabetes prescription food on her own without vomiting, which the vet says is good. Would you please forward this to the FeLV list and ask people to send her some healing energy and prayers? Thanks and hope you are well, Michelle - Bored stiff? Loosen up...

Re: Anyone know how much it is for anal sac removal?
Ask him about increasing roughage for her in an effort to get her to express them herself. The glands are pretty easy to locate according to my alternative vet. Betty has shown me how to do them and she does her own cat in a cat sack. Both her cat and mine are fully clawed. Hers runs over 20 pounds so I think you can manage your little girl. Just remember to wear old clothes in case you get some on you. YUCK!!!

Just wanted to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers...they help so much and all the words of wisdom, too. Thanks, too for remembering Bandy and Inky...Inky is just one tough kitty..We celebrate his birthday the 9th of every month..so May 9, he was 20 and 9 months. I received a card from Bandy's internal med vet the end of Feb. letting me know that they had made a memorial contribution in his name to the Christian Veterinary Mission..I couldn't believe it since he had been gone over 2 months then and people were still thinking of him..It made me happy and sad, guess you all know what I mean.. Our thoughts and prayers are always with you in your losses and for those with sick ones.. If I can be of any help anytime, just let me know since I haven't been on here much lately, you can email me direct. I would be glad to help if I can.. My best to you all, Kerry - Never miss an email again! Yahoo! Toolbar alerts you the instant new Mail arrives. Check it out.
