...and the rest of my clowder (the FeLV- ones).

Harley seemed a little depressed after breakfast.  Maybe just mad at me for
giving him the clavamox after?  I was on the lounge chair, with Brock on my
lap.  Jealous of Brock?  We all just lounged around for a while, then I
glanced over at a catnip carrot, with a long bootlace attached.  I flicked
the bootlace over the top of Harley's head, and slowly dragged it back
towards me.  The game was on! Harley always likes to play after breakfast or
dinner, but he plays hard - leaping, zooming, skidding across the floor.  I
thought that wasn't a good idea due to his 
heart, and his needing rest after his long ordeal.   So we modified the 
routine a bit, and I just pulled the bootlace around the cot (full-sized
deluxe cot for humans that has Harley's sleeping bag w/heat pad on top of a
folded comforter). Harley began to purr as he grabbed the bootlace and we
played tug-of-war.  Eventually he was within reach, and I petted him and
skritched his chest, and he began wrestling with my hand.  And purred even
louder.

Best. Christmas. Ever.

[Felvtalk] Is there anything that stimulates platelet production?

2014-12-26 Thread Marsha
There has been a downward trend this year in Harley's platelet count, 
though he is not in the danger zone at this point.  I am wondering if 
there are any drugs or nutritional supplements that can help with this.


Marsha  Harley (Wat iz platelets?  Iz dey littel plates wif treets on 
dem?)
