Re: Update on Kisa
MY cat is FeLV positive! And he has lymphoma. He had HUGE lymph nodes which literally blew up overnight. And now he's on chemo. The lymph nodes were literally GONE the day after his very first chemo. I was absolutely shocked! And he's doing GREAT! Fat and happy now, beautiful fur, eating and playing. He is in apparent remission. PLEASE see an oncologist! I had the same reaction from one of the vets at my regular vet practice. She said, oooh, FeLV+, not good BUT here is an oncologist if you want. And I did. And six weeks later here we are!

I'm not sure if I could afford that anyway...they didn't say exactly how much it would cost, but said it wouldn't be a good idea to spend thousands on FeLV+ cat with a poor prognosis. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: OT- Cat bite, what do i do
Oh, Susan tres bien! Taylor Scobie Humphrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] On May 25, 2007, at 9:40 AM, Susan Hoffman wrote: Good long-term advice. Also, FYI, Augmentin is the same as clavamox so if you have any clavamox around for the cats, you can take that yourself. (I usually buy the clavamox tablets or unmixed powder from www.1drugstore-online.com so I usually do have some in the house.) Now, the next time you're bitten -- immediately cwash the wound under running water and squeeze out some blood. That squeezes out stuff that might have been on the teeth and is now under your skin too. Then pour on or submerge your hand in alcohol or peroxide. (Got this advice from my mother. It's worked for both of us for decades.) I hope Nod shows signs of guilt. When my own personal cats have bitten me, they usually get this really guilty look on their faces and want to make up later.

To Cassandra Re: Kisa
Cassandra, I agree with what everyone says here, but am keeping in mind that you are limited to location and funding. That being said, even if Kisa does not get chemo, she does need the combo dexamethasone/depomedrol shots. They will not cure anything, but will keep her very comfortable up to her passing if you choose not to do chemo. They are steroids, but much stronger than prednisone.
