Re: Hobbs, 1 Yr. old FELV, crashing hard

[catatonya]

Heather,
   
  I have pulled 2 back that were very sick.  I later lost one though when she 
got so bad I felt her quality of life was so poor that I should let her go.  
Only the cat's mom can really make the decision.  Is the cat easy to medicate? 
stressed by the vet? etc these kinds of questions only she can answer and 
assess what to do.  I'm so sorry.

  As he is no longer with me as he had passed on to the bridge.
   
  For you newer members.
  I took in a male Siamese that was 19 yrs old that had the same thing.
  All of his claws on his front paws were in the flesh. 
  So he the had surgery done ASAP immediately right there.
   
  When I got him I had noticed he was walking funny. Then I look at his paws 
thought to 
  myself "Oh My God" there was no way I could do anything.
  I can't imagine the pain he was in. Poor old fella.
  I have to tell you though when it was done he was like a kitten again shortly 
after surgery. 
  I end up losing him after a year to kidney failure but at least he had some 
happiness and medical care from me that he wouldn't have gotten elsewhere.
   
  Well I won't be taking Snowy in for spaying this coming week.  I went to clip 
her nails tonight and noticed that there was a big lump on her right paw.  When 
I touched it she meowed so I got her into the emergency vet.  They told me I 
did nothing wrong that this had happened to her over a very long period of 
time.  Her nail had grown into her skin, along with hair and they had to put 
her under and remove it.  It had grown far into her pad and couldn't be removed 
easily.  I don't get this.  She had seen 2 vets prior to our getting her and no 
one noticed this.  Now the poor little thing has to be on antibiotics 
(Clindamycin) and wear one of those horrible hood things so she won't lick her 
paw.  She had a piece taken out of it and cauterized.  I am so sorry for what 
this poor little dear has been through in her short life.  I just hope all this 
trauma doesn't cause her herpes virus to resurface.  The first thing the vet 
did when we got her there was to squirt eye wash into
 her eyes and she got all upset.  I kind of yelled at him for doing that and 
asked why.  He said she looks like she has allergies and I said "she's a

Re: Hobbs, 1 Yr. old FELV, crashing hard

[MaryChristine]

ah, i'm sorry to hear about hobbs: i think your question is impossible for
any of us to answer because we can't know if he's crashing because of FeLV
complications, or something else--only the vet can answer that one

probably by the time you read this, they'll be home, but a question i've
learned to ask my vets is this one: what would you do if he/she were YOUR
cat? you often get very different answers when you phrase things that way.

also, depending on exactly what is going on, sometimes when there is nothing
more to do--and if there's a way to figure out what is causing him to cry,
and if there's anything that can be done to alleviate that, there are
alternatives to leaving them at the vet's office when it's clear that their
journey here is almost done.

but again, we can't know what's in hobbs' best interest, which is of course
what loving him is all about.

GLOW for things to happen in as peaceful and gentle a manner as they are
meant to.

Heather, Isabella would cry out if touched and had unexlained tremors (we 
thought she was dead at least twice) and high fever. She was anemic. She pulled 
through with care from internal med specialist. We had her on antitiobics and 
pred and painkillers, interferon and feline transfer factor. She did not quit 
eating which helped tremendously.
She had ultrasound which showed slightly enlarged spleen. Nothing else. 
I wish for you that you will get some answers...

My prayers are with you. When Junior crashed that was it his body was
shutting down that fast. He was having breathing issues and possible

Hobbs, 1 Yr. old FELV, crashing hard

[Heather Wienker]

Hello,

I first joined this group a year ago in regards to a double-positive Mom and
her kittens.

All kittens cleared FIV, remained + for Leuk.  Only the two who stayed
together remain, and one has crashed hard.

I am not his caretaker but what I know is, he had a dental a little over a
month ago due to stomatitis (lots of drooling & mouth pain).   That went
well, then a few days ago he crashed very hard, not eating, not drinking,
crying in pain...losing weight rapidly.

He is to go to the vet today, but has anyone pulled a Leukemia+ kitty
through a serious crash?   We are looking into Imulan but right now the
caregiver fears he is suffering and can't wait for treatment.   We don't
want him to die on IV's in a hospital.   His little Sister is very close to
him, we always thought she'd go first as she's so much more fragile, we are
so scared of not just losing this precious kitty, but also how it will
affect his Sister.  Hobbs' caretaker loves him very, very much and the
prospect of losing him is very painful for her.

Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you for listening-

Poor little Snowy.  Don't worry she'll forgive you by tomorrow.  You are right, 
getting her little paw healed up is far more important than the spaying.  It is 
in a cat's genes to not show pain or illness.  
 
Here is a link to a Physical Exam Check List.
http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=292&S=2
Notice they don't have a section for legs/paws.  I wonder how many vets ever 
even look at a kitty's paws.  
 
Give her a special treat tonight.

Hi all,
A few years ago some of you older members may remember Ling. 
As he is no longer with me as he had passed on to the bridge.
 
For you newer members.
I took in a male Siamese that was 19 yrs old that had the same thing.
All of his claws on his front paws were in the flesh. 
So he the had surgery done ASAP immediately right there.
 
When I got him I had noticed he was walking funny. Then I look at his
paws thought to 
myself "Oh My God" there was no way I could do anything.
I can't imagine the pain he was in. Poor old fella.
I have to tell you though when it was done he was like a kitten again
shortly after surgery. 
I end up losing him after a year to kidney failure but at least he had

Well I won't be taking Snowy in for spaying this coming week.  I went to
clip her nails tonight and noticed that there was a big lump on her
right paw.  When I touched it she meowed so I got her into the emergency
vet.  They told me I did nothing wrong that this had happened to her
over a very long period of time.  Her nail had grown into her skin,
along with hair and they had to put her under and remove it.  It had
grown far into her pad and couldn't be removed easily.  I don't get
this.  She had seen 2 vets prior to our getting her and no one noticed
this.  Now the poor little thing has to be on antibiotics (Clindamycin)
and wear one of those horrible hood things so she won't lick her paw.
She had a piece taken out of it and cauterized.  I am so sorry for what
this poor little dear has been through in her short life.  I just hope
all this trauma doesn't cause her herpes virus to resurface.  The first
thing the vet did when we got her there was to squirt eye wash into her
eyes and she got all upset.  I kind of yelled at him for doing that and
asked why.  He said she looks like she has allergies and I said "she's a
persian their eyes tear".  Fortunately there was a very knowledgeable
technician present who seemed to know a lot more than this guy did.

Re: my poor snowy

Hi all,
A few years ago some of you older members may remember Ling. 
As he is no longer with me as he had passed on to the  bridge.
 
For you newer members.
I took in a male Siamese that was 19 yrs old that had the same  thing.
All of his claws on his front paws were in the flesh. 
So he the had surgery done ASAP immediately right  there.
 
When I got him I had noticed he was walking funny. Then I look at  his paws 
thought to 
myself "Oh My God" there was no way I could do  anything.
I can't imagine the pain he was in. Poor old  fella.
I have to tell you though when it was done he was like a kitten  again 
shortly after surgery. 
I end up losing him after a year to kidney failure but at least he  had some 
happiness and medical care from me that he wouldn't have gotten  elsewhere.
 
Well I won't be taking Snowy in for spaying this  coming week.  I went to

GLOW to guide theodore home.

sherry says it well--with the special ones, we have a little bit more
knowledge that their time might be more limited, but the fundamental truth
is to love each one of them (and each other) in every moment. then we can't
go wrong.

(even when they DO use the rug instead of the litterbox that's a foot away.
sigh.)

Too funny. Made me laugh!  Frankie wore his E collar like a cape until he 
removed it! I had pushed it back so he could use his whiskers. Black cat, blue 
cape. Pretty cute if you aren't Frankie!

  My Mickey was fitted with a hood after being treated for a hematoma. Well, 
Mickey's feral, and no self-respecting feral is gonna put up with that. He 
quickly set about pushing his paws through the hood, so it turned into a skirt. 
Because he's feral I couldn't remove it without causing him and his roommate a 
great deal of stress. So he had to wear the useless skirt until I had to (catch 
and) take him back for his check-up.

  We can't keep the hood on her.  She became hysterical.  She can be a very 
high strung little girl and fight like a lion when she has to do something she 
doesn't want to.  I did manage to get the Clindamycin capsules down her this 
morning with only one scratch. She is on this for a couple weeks so we're in 
for a stressful time. I just called the vet and told them the story about the 
hood and the technician said occasional licking is ok, it's just constant 
licking that can present a problem.  When Bob picked her up last night the vet 
told him he had washed her eyes AGAIN.  I had to take my dad back home so 
wasn't able to go.  I think I would have given him a real lashing if I had been 
there.  Whatever he put in her eyes stained her fur horribly, not that I care 
what she looks like, but when we tried washing her face with a warm cloth it 
smeared all over.  Fortunately we won't have to go back there.  The vet did say 
to absolutely cancel her spaying though which certainly makes sense.  

  I can't imagine Frankie or any animal wearing one of those things for 2 weeks 
especially if the poor dear is blind.  There has to be a better way.  I hope 
Frankie's biopsy turns out ok.

Poor baby. At least you found it! Frankie wa sent home with a hood 
yesterday after his biopsy. He promptly removed it. He is blind so needs those 
whiskers to navigate. I am not sure what I will do as he is supposed to thave 
the hood on for 2 weeks!
BTW, that vet had no business washing her eyes without your permission, imo.
