RE: Regarding a freak accident to my hubby..it is long...sorry!
Terrie, I am so sorry to read about your husband's accident. Here's hoping that he will make a full recovery soon.

(I want apologized if you have already seen this from other groups I'm on) Hello all, I wanted to make everyone aware or least be alert of what can happen when you get behind brush mowers whether it's up close or at a distance. It is very dangerous. Yesterday, my husband was about 20 feet behind a tractor that had a brush mower on it which was operated by his friend. My husband was looking for items that may have been sticking out of the ground that the mower didn't get. Anyway, a huge rock flew out from the mower and my husband said he seen it at the corner of his eye. By then it was too late. The rock hit him on his right arm below the elbow and broke his arm in two places. I had to call 911 for help he was bleeding and going into shock. He was taken to the hospital and had x-rays done on him. The time was around noontime that this happened. My Dr. was on call who is a orthopedic surgeon had to do emergency surgery on him. I have a lot of faith in him as he done my knee replacements and other bone surgeries. One of the bones is shattered in my husband's arm and he said it look like a gunshot wound. He was taken into surgery about 5 pm was returned back to his room about 9:15 pm last night. The Dr. told me he was bad that he could lose his arm especially below the elbow. He has muscle and tissue damage. Many fragments of the bone was floating in his arm. Did what he could do for him at this point. Only time will tell. Since, my husband is a Diabetic and has HEP C from tainted blood in the 60's from a blood transfusion he is considered high risk. He has a tube in him that they call a Vacu this is to suck all the infection and excess blood from the area. He is also on two different IV lines for the loss of blood and for antibiotics. He is being monitored closely. I did noticed his blood pressure was high. So he will be in the hospital for at least some time. He will be taken back into surgery tomorrow to check out more of the damage and try to repair more of his arm. By the way my husband is right handed this is the arm that got injured. Some of you already know he just had two recent right shoulder surgeries on the same arm. He was supposed to return back to work for light duty on the 19th of this month. Believe it or not he was looking forward going back to work after being off for almost a year. Now that this has happened I don't know what we are going to do. Please pray and hope he doesn't lose part of his arm. That he makes full recovery.

Oncologists are usually pretty optimistic, at least in terms of months, with treating lymphoma with chemo, unless there is something particular about the case and how advanced it is. Are they pessimistic because he is positive, or because they think he is very advanced? Being positive does not affect response to chemo, but it does seem to shorten the length of remission in many cases. I wish that I had done chemo with my two that I did not,but sometimes I wonder if I did too much with Simon, unless I focus on the few weeks of really good time that he had at the end. There is no real answer. Whatever you do will probably seem wrong afterwards, as that is our nature. If you are comfortable with the decision now, that is really all you can go by. I would definitely not taper the dexamethasone unless you are going to start giving a shot of depo periodically as well. If he is not getting chemo, then it is unlikely he will have more than a few months at most, which is when side effects from steroids normally set in if they are going to. So I don't think you should be worrying about that right now. cancer sucks. Michelle In a message dated 9/14/2006 3:21:32 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just called to cancel my appointment today and send the message about my disappointment that the vet was unwilling to discuss things over the phone. They put me on hold and the vet came on with apologies for the misunderstanding. She said she had some blunt advice for me and thought it better to discuss it in person. Of course her "blunt" advice was no worse than the conclusions I'd already come to on my own. They do, as does Michelle, suspect strongly that he has lymphoma. They are still hesitant to treat for it without further confirmation, but I got the distinct impression that if I insisted, they would. Both doctors feel that aggressive cancer treatment would, at best, buy him limited time, and disrupt the quality of life he is experiencing now. She said that she has, in cases like this, tapered the steroid dose, (after initial daily dosing), to eod in an attempt to avoid prolonged use reactions. Unfortunately, the result in these cases is usually the same, the cat crashes and there's no way to tell if it's a result of prolonged steroid use, the tapering of the steroid, or the lymphoma itself. Nasty business this.So, even with discussing things over with the vet, my decision made this morning stands for now. I wish there were some way to make Spencer "all better", since that doesn't appear to be possible, (at least not without Divine Intervention, and I don't need a vet for that), I will make the time he has the best quality that I can.Nina

Ceasar had deep puncture wounds that were abscessed all over his body, the deepest around his neck and the most infected on his rear leg, no wonder my brave little man was limping. He had a high fever and the worst news of all, he was felv+. They hadn't yet investigated why his nose was bleeding, or why there was blood in his saliva. The vet, who is always reluctant to recommend euthanasia, said if she were Ceasar she wouldn't want to wake up from the kind of pain he must have been living with. I still hesitated, I still thought maybe there was a way. I asked if there could be any doubt about his status, the answer was an unequivocal no. Before we left for the vet, he allowed me to stroke him through the grate of the trap. His skin was covered with small lesions, with that gritty feel that comes from flea infestation. Poor little lamb! He was angry, but he didn't try to scratch me, or even hiss. I spoke softly to him and told him how much he was loved and that he was finally home. I had so prayed that I would be bringing him back to comfort and security this afternoon. I had to finally decide to let him go. I'm so sick about not being able to trap him when I first met him, maybe he would be healthy today. I feel like I failed him, my only consolation is that he's no longer suffering, he's no longer confined, and he's no longer producing felv kittens. He lived the hard life of a cat on the street and I helped him as best I could. Thank you all for caring about a special little feral boy and understanding how he has left an imprint on my heart. Bless you my sweet, brave, clever friend. I will love you always. Nina

I waited a while and did manage to feed him, but on his third feeding I think he had a convulsion or a seizure. I was sitting on the couch feeding, he was in his bed and all of a sudden he started flopping around in there, it was so quick, I barely saw what happened. It looked like he was contorting and had no control, kind of arching his back. It only lasted maybe 5 seconds so I'm not sure what happened, but it was definitely something he didn't have control over. Now he is breathing a bit fast, not too bad, I have an appointment tomorrow morning. I'm just worried he aspirated some food. I just called my vet and she is coming in early to see him. I am not feeding him anymore tonight. We could sure use some prayers. Thanks all ... -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

He was breathing more rapid and harder all thru the night...So this morning when the vet called to give me the results of the aspirate, I told her I was going to bring him in for a breathing treatment and to have her check his lungs...Things just really progressed so fast, I haven't ever seen anything like it. It hadn't even been 14 or so hours that he was jumping in my lap and scratching his post. He was still drinking water, but I couldn't get him to eat anything and I tried it all...That was a first for him as he never went off his food, but was hardly ever sick in his 13 yrs 11months other than an occasional sinus infection.. We made the appt. to go to Dallas, but it is a long drive and with the type of lymphoma he had, it would have been so hard on him...the drive and the tests...I wanted him to have his dignity..and he did...I went back to see him after he had been in the oxygen cage for an hour or so...He was having some difficulty, but not as much as before...He looked at me and the vet tech opened the cage so I could see him and pet him...then he started breathing harder...I asked her if he was starting to die and she said yes...So I picked him up and took him in the exam room...I put him in my lap as I did several times a day, the way he liked to sit with me and told him it was ok, that I was there and he would be ok..He took about 3 more breaths and passed away...He was waiting for me to return, and I will always believe that..He wanted me with him so I am glad that I didn't put him thru anything else...I believe he was ready..He was my "Rock", my tough kitty that has helped me get thru all my other's illnesses...As you all know, how difficult this is to write.

My little Jack died on Jan. 21. He was the sweetest little orange tabby boy, no bigger than a 6 month old kitten. During his last weeks he was always cold so he always beat me to bed at night and was waiting under the covers for me. Our vet suspects that he had feleuk in his bone marrow but we didn't test him - and on the snap tests he repeatedly tested negative. On Feb. 8th I lost Cheyenne. She was a little Siamese baby - small but not as small as Jack. She was definitely feleuk positive. She came to me at 4 months from a Tx kill shelter -- in fact Gloria and I read about her on this list - and Gloria went to Tx to pick her up along with a great big ol' dlh orange tabby boy, Charlie, who is FIV+ -- and thriving. For the first few weeks I had to make Cheyenne let me hold her - and then one day in my arms she just sighed this big sigh and relaxed and became my sweet outgoing little girl. Then, on Feb 9, Sweet Willie Brown died. He was a tiny tabby when he came to our rescue group - spent his whole kittenhood with one sickness or another and the for the last year and a half was so thin that he looked to be at death's door. He also repeatedly tested negative and our vet suspects feleuk in the marrow. Just a few months ago extensive bloodwork showed nothing but a little anemia and a slightly elevated white count. He finally began to put on weight and I took him to our Board meeting on the 20th to show off how chubby he was. He has always been a favorite of everyone in our rescue group- and he spent the evening sitting on one shoulder and then another. Shoulders were his "thing". I miss that "out of nowhere" feather touch as he landed on my shoulder - have shoulder will pounce. There are now 3 more angels in the heavens and I know they are playing together, all healthy, at the Rainbow Bridge.

My husband and I stayed with her all day she slept between us, so I know she was where she wanted to be. She passed so peacefully looking in my eyes. I have lost a lot of kitties in my life but never one to go so quickly and easily. A few short breaths, no cries and she was gone. Rudy came into my home 13 years ago and she has been the boss ever since. I was at my front door one cold night calling my other kitties home and this pretty little girl that I had never seen before ran in my door straight to my wash room jumped on my hot water heater and stayed there for 3 days. I loved her from the first minute I saw her. I knew she was special and meant just for me. No sharing this one with my hubby. My other kitties were jealous but soon learned she was here to stay. Rudy was what I called my bold protector. She was not afraid of any cat or dog. If she heard me scolding another cat she would run in and slap the kitty. My 3 large dogs were also afraid of her. If one would come running at me to fast she would jump in front of me to protect me and quickly turn them around. She could be in another room and if I stubbed my toe and cried out she would come flying in to see if someone was messing with her Mama. She was diagnosed with felv when she was spayed. I guess she was less than one year old. She was always healthy except she lost all her teeth but one early on so her tongue was always falling out her mouth. She was hard to please with food would only eat fancy feast and not much of that. Would beg for milk and throw it right up if I gave in and gave it to her. I still have know good answers as to why kidney failure. The Vet says it happens in older cats. She was not anemic, but she was running a low temp. I saw know signs of sickness till Sunday morning when she started to stumble when she stood up. Sorry to go on so long but I needed to say how much I'll miss her sleeping in my arms, loving me completely and unselfishly. Sheila

The blood test showed kidney function had stopped and the vet said that she had so little blood in her vains that he suspected internal bleeding probably in the liver... When I brought her to the vet this morning she could barely hold her head up for a short time and after being at the vets all day and having sub Q liquid all day which is probably what kept her alive she was even weeker...The vet felt she was probably in pain and didn't think anything would bring her back so we sent her on ahead to the Rainbow Bridge Callie was a feisty little calico...She was reported at AW to be hard to medicate and when she arrived here we learned that she would only let you touch her for a few seconds and then you better let her go... We learned where the limits were and soon she began to trust us and Marie did better with some of the other AW cats than I but Callie definitely chose meNow that I think of it she was never close to any of the other cats but she was always with me whenever I was around... She new when I was putting on clothes to go outside and meow and meow and she would be waiting at the door for me when I came back in... A few time that she did sneak out with me she let me catch her and if I would tell her NO as I when out she would sit there and wait Right now she would be sleeping on top of the monitor while I am on the computerShe was such a good friend to me and she had so much personality...She had some hard times during her life but she was happy and loved here at the end...I only wish she could have stayed longerI can't believe she is gone so soon I will miss her for a long time... That leaves 4 of the original 6 from AWOJ has never been a totally healthy kitty...He has had to stay on antibiotics for several bacterial types of infections and he has never played and raced around the way some of the others do but he has always been a big purr and snuggle bunAnd antibiotics is easy to keep them going...Both OJ and Fred who is my first FeLV+ kitty who gums seem to get infected when I take him off antibiotics...He only has a few teeth left now...I have had Fred well over 2 years...I have had several worries over Fred and OJ and they are both special buddies so I can't complain ...

I am pretty torn up right now. I feel like such a dork because I carried his collar to work with me today. He had the feeding tube procedure done, but was just so anemic, that after the procedure, he couldn't get his breath. For most of the night, I thought he was just having a hard time coming out of the sedation (gas) because he never really did and was having problems breathing, but the vet said his trachea probably got irritated from the procedure, and that he should be fine later. He slept right next to me last night and about 2:20 he woke me up trying to cry, and I picked him up and took him to the living room because I knew something wasn't right. He died about 20 minutes later. I have asked God countless times to let me be there when Cricket passed so that he wouldn't be as scared or lonely (like he would be if I was at work and died). God honored that request, thankfully, but it was still very hard. My husband, nephew, and I will have a little ceremony this afternoon for him. I am glad that he is not in pain or weak or suffering and I know that I did just about everything humanly and financially possible, but it doesn't help. At least not right now. I am going to write him a little tribute to bury with him. He was such a wonderful companion. I will send a pic out of him later when I get home. Thank all of you SO much for helping me and Cricket through these last three and a half weeks. Your kindness is immeasurable, and I plan to stick around and help out anyone else I can even though I don't have anymore FeLV (that I know of-I need to have my other two retested).

RE: Question about Euthanasia and my Grace
Nina, I am so, so, sorry about you losing Grace. I think you are right, in thinking that she feels it is time to go. I think she is turning away from you to spare both of you more pain. I have had to euthanize very thin cats as well and there has never been a problem. The tranquilizer has always gone in gently and then they just relax, sometimes sleep and sometimes cross at that time as well. I always hold them as well and then put them gently on a towel or blanket. Again, I am so sorry about your pain and sadness.

I love you all, but for the last couple of days, I haven't even been able bring myself to read the posts. I'm physically and emotionally exhausted by Grace and my last efforts to bring her back to health. Yesterday, I finally resigned myself to thinking of our time together as 'death bed vigil'. Those of you that know me, know that I pray all your babies are safe and healthy, and those that are losing, or have lost the battle; my love is with you. I don't know what I would have done without the love and support of this group. You have been a Godsend to me and my sweet fur angels. Yesterday morning Gracie told me she does not want to stay. Among other signs, I was syringe feeding her and she refused to swallow. I'm trying my best to make peace with her decision. I know you understand. She hasn't eaten on her own for a long time now and she's skin and bones. She spent a nice peaceful day, and I did my best to just be with her. During the afternoon she made it clear that she didn't want to be sung to, or touched. It's so hard on me to watch her pull away. At one point, she seemed a bit agitated so I ground up a tiny bit of Valium and gave it to her in water. She was so relaxed she even did a stretch-semi roll out on the patio in the sun. She did something that startled me, and got my hopes up again. (I just can't stop believing in miracles). I was giving the dogs treats and she was laying on the couch. Well, we have this thing Grace and I. Whenever the dogs get treats she'd come bounding over the barrier and expect one too. When she saw me giving the dogs treats this afternoon, she jumped off the couch. I started to cry, because I thought, there's no way she's going to take a treat. I put one in front of her anyway and you could have knocked me over with a sigh. It took her a minute to decide to eat it, but she not only ate that one, but 3 more. Then she ate 3 or 4 pieces of kibble! My hopes were short lived though. I've been up with her most of the night. She still doesn't want my attention. She doesn't even want me to look at her, it's breaking my heart to say goodbye, and I guess it may be making it harder for her to go, although that is not my intention. It's not like I don't want her to leave her body, I do. I want her suffering to be over. Yesterday, when I knew it was time, I called my Internist's office to see if Dr. Ortega would be willing to help her cross. Grace has always liked Dr. Ortega, and I thought she would be calmest with her. Well, my Internist isn't going to be in the office until Friday. It doesn't seem possible that Grace will still be here by then. My stance has always been, that when I know it's the end, when I know that the chance of a recovery after treatment isn't possible, then it's time to help them cross. Even though Grace is peaceful, (she just lays on her side and breathes shallow, but relaxed breaths), I have a hard time letting nature take it's course. It's arrogant of me, but I can't stand seeing her like this. I'm also so worried about her being in pain, when I look in her eyes, she doesn't seem in pain, but she doesn't seem like herself either. I wouldn't mind vacant, but it's almost like she's... not quite angry, more like annoyed to still be here. Just to let you know... Over the past week or so, I think I may have mentioned it, we've been following an extensive homeopathic regime with the help of a practitioner named Darla Palmer. While it didn't save Grace, it did bring her back into her body, and for brief glorious moments, back to me. It was such a joy to see the Grace I know and love shining out of her eyes again. Anyway, here's my question: Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to put an animal to sleep in an emaciated condition? Of course, I don't want to make things harder on her, I want to ease her suffering. What if they can't find a vein, because they're so small? I just want to know what to expect. I'm thinking of calling a house call vet to see if he can come today, but I don't want this to

He was very jaundiced and yellow ness did not really go away,, but he was doing so good..though,, Since he is a feral boy,, I really did not want to stress him out taking him to a vet all the time..though. I did sense the his last days might have been approaching as I felt that it must have been painful to breath so heavily.. and he was getting so skinny regardless of his appetitethe vet thought that his throat was very inflamed, and was going to call him the first thing yesterday morning to see if I could give him predisone but he did not make it - I must have know that something was going to happen that morning, because I couldnt sleep since 4 am that day..I was so nervous and was wide awake, kept thinking of George I would go check the room and see how he was doing.. and would go back (he would get stressed more if I were around since he is a feral boy).. so I would go back,, one time, I heard really loud breathing, and I saw him trying to eat the food from the plate.. so I wanted to leave him alone so he could eat.. so I did.. and an half hour later or an hour.. I went back into the room.. and I did not hear his breathing noise in the room.. I got so scared and I looked around..and called his name..and he was lying on the floor by the food plate with his eyes and mouth open.. and I ran over to him and held him he was still warm.. but he had passed already.. I cried and cried and held him, and I wrapped him with a blanket.. and put him on the table by the window. He looked so painful with his eyes and mouth were open.. and I wish that they werent.. but then, an interesting thing happened.. I went back to visit George by the window in the room an half hour later .. and this time.. his eyes and mouth were completely closed and he looked so peaceful.. looked like he was just sleeping..with no more pain I have lots of regrets for thing I have done or I havent done for George.. things that I would regret for the rest of my lives and things that ended up shortening his lives and things that I would never forgive myself for.. but. I talked to Jasmine, my AC this morning and she talked to George for me.. and I still feel very sad, but I also feel very peaceful. George is doing fabulous right now, he said... he is a little sad.. but he is feeling very good. We talked about a lot of things.. but at the end he told me that.. dont think that he is just a little helpless cat,, he is much more.. especially now,, he is free, and he can be an advisor for me --- as I do have a tendency to try to control every situation I encounter.. and I beat up myself when I cant for..so anyway, he gave me some advise which I found very very helpful to continue my life.. George said that he would like to meet me again,, probably not in my life time I left the conversation, asking him that if he would talk to me again.. and he said yes.. I told him that I love him and will miss him very much. And at the end,, he told me that he loves me, too. George has been always a little feral boy.. and it meant the world to me to know that he loves me.I buried him at his favorite spot in the garden.. the place he used to hang out Thank for all the prayers you have given for George in the past now George has passed..please pray that George will be continue to be happy, and continue to have a good life and that some dayI will meet him soon.

She has been feeling poorly the last couple of months. Usually when she feels crummy I put her on a round of Dox, and she feels better almost immediately. Not so, this time. I put her on Dox and she didn't improve significantly. I took her off of Dox and started the five day protocol of Virbagen Omega, (injections of feline interferon, 1x daily). Again, she improved slightly, but not significantly. After the 4th day, I stopped the VO and put her back on Dox. She's been getting the Dox again for about a week, she continues to improve, but is still not herself. I've also been giving her oral interferon (chasing the Dox pill with it), transfer factor, Lysine, Co-Q10 etc. Her appetite is off, so I had to stop the supplements to get her to eat. I'm going to try some transdermal Cyproheptadine to see if it helps her eat more. You may think I'm crazy, (so what's new?), but I talked to two different ACs that told me they did not think there were any tumors involved, or problems with any of her internal organs, just a feeling of general malaise. I had an appointment with our Internist today, but Grace seems to have improved more in the last couple of days, so I canceled it. It was a difficult decision to make. Grace suffers greatly from the stress involved in a visit to the vet and knowing that there would be several different tests involved to determine what is going on with her... Well, I just decided not to put her through it. There's been too many times that after the trauma and expense, nothing new has been learned. I don't feel completely confident in this decision, but if she doesn't continue to improve I can still bring her in later. I'm waiting for a call from the vet to discuss a different antibiotic in case Grace has finally built a resistance to Doxycycline. For heavens sake, we don't even know why Dox has worked for her! Anyway, if you could take a moment to think of my Grace and wish her well, it would be greatly appreciated. Nina

I know he's going to still hang around your house with you, where he's been for so long. I'm sorry.GloriaOn Aug 31, 2005, at 8:21 AM, Susan Loesch wrote: Thank you, Julie. Aren't our old guys wonderful. I am so sad to have to say that Big Rik died in my arms around 2am this morning. I had followed up on the suggestion of potassium - talked to my vet and added it to his SQ fluids. Late yesterday afternoon he seemed to rally a bit but it didn't last long. He has had this voracious appetite - scarfed down almost a whole can of cat food when he seemed to feel a little better yesterday.. I think that in itself is a sign of something wrong - he was like that for about a week.(I know that hunger/eating is one of the last functions to be lost - that a cat will eat up almost to the point of death so I knew it wasn't really a positive thing. He may have had some thyroid problems to develop or diabetes. Had I not known his kidneys were so bad and if he hadn't been in such poor condition I'd have had blood work done.) In fact I didn't get my hand out of the way fast enough one day and he chowed down hard on my thumb. I look at the thumb now and wish I had another opportunity for him to bite me. Give your Tommy and Sunny hugs from me. I hope they are around for many, many years but when their time comes I know Big Rik will be there waitiing for them - they can have the "old folks club". Based on the amount of SQ fluids he absorbed very quickly over the last couple of days I think his kidneys just quit. I will definitely look into the glucosamine/condroitin treats - I have other older kitties - but at 13-15 they are just kids compared to Big Rik. Thanks for that information.

My Tommy is an old-timer, too, (not even sure how old), but he's also a bit weak in the hindquarters. My vet Wendy said it's from losing a bit of muscle mass due to the combination of age and arthritis. I have some kitty glucosamine/ condroitin but he doesn't like the taste mixed in his food and he really objects to being pilled.

No mattter, though, he seems to be pretty upbeat irregardless...incessently grooming all his shaved spots...if all goes well, the oncologist says perhaps six to eight months (although he treated a feleuk guy who's going on 2 years remission), and I'll take it seeing as though, for these Feleuk guys, 6 months is a lifetime...

He was 3 1/2 years old - so I know he has lived longer than most babies born positive - but is wasn't long enough. It never is, is it. I am in Arkansas and over 3 years ago there was a situation in the northern part of the state - out in the sticks somewhere - where lots of cats were left at a trailer park of some sort. It was in the news that a vet had been hired to euthanize them all.2 members of our rescue group headed up there to see what could be done -- all they managed to save was one little orange tabby boy, Butternut, who tested positive for feleuk. Since I already had feleuk babies, including Gloria's Mittens and my Leader and their littermates, who were the same age as Butternut, I took him. He has been wonderfully healthy and happy and very much loved for the whole of his short life. Over the last couple of days he went downhill fast and yesterday lost the use of his hind legs. We chose to free him before he began to really suffer. I know he is playing at the Rainbow Bridge with Mittens and the rest of our feleuk babies. Thanks.

He was 3 1/2 years old - so I know he has lived longer than most babies born positive - but is wasn't long enough. It never is, is it. I am in Arkansas and over 3 years ago there was a situation in the northern part of the state - out in the sticks somewhere - where lots of cats were left at a trailer park of some sort. It was in the news that a vet had been hired to euthanize them all.2 members of our rescue group headed up there to see what could be done -- all they managed to save was one little orange tabby boy, Butternut, who tested positive for feleuk. Since I already had feleuk babies, including Gloria's Mittens and my Leader and their littermates, who were the same age as Butternut, I took him. He has been wonderfully healthy and happy and very much loved for the whole of his short life. Over the last couple of days he went downhill fast and yesterday lost the use of his hind legs. We chose to free him before he began to really suffer. I know he is playing at the Rainbow Bridge with Mittens and the rest of our feleuk babies. Thanks.

I lost my gentle giant Snowball this afternoon. I never expected that. He was breathing rapidly when I got home from the clinic. I thought at first he was stressed because of losing his girlfriend Flavia. I couldn't take the risk, tho, so I rushed him to the clinic. His lungs were full of fluid. Only 25 per cent was not full and even that was compromised. I discussed it with the same vet I saw this morning. I couldn't risk him dying while I was gone, and that seemed a very real possibility. Snowball was the biggest cat, a flamepoint, but he wouldn't hurt a soul. He was terribly timid. He stopped playing a couple of months ago, butI thought it was a lazy phase, because he had been pretty lazy before. The other little ones would enjoy batting him when he was below them on the tree. He never batted them back. he was too gentle. He knew he could squash them if he wanted too, but he didn't want to hurt them. I'm in shock for Snowball, and I guess Flavia, tho she has been so ill, and I need to process it. Please send prayers for my remaining Mickey and Momcat.

I noticed she wasn't moving much last night, and didn't appear to want to eat. When I tried coaxing her with a treat, she went into the box and ate some litter instead. Not good. Then she defecated outside the box 2 or 3 times. I stayed with her all night, fell asleep for a couple of hours and when i woke up, shehad already jumped into the new carrier (only the top door was open--not the front door). So I gently closed it, and took her to a place i haven't used but has a good reputation, when they opened at 8am. I got the impression from their website last night that they could do bloodwork tests in situ and I could walk out with the result -- I then planned to take the result to my old vet who has always treated Flavia (but I know for a fact does have to send out for results and also didn't open until 9am). However this is not nec the case it turned out (that they can do all bloodwork tests in-house). I said I would clarify it with the vet i saw. The receptionist/vibe at the new place wasobnoxious! However I waited for the promised vet. They weren't busy. At 8.45 when nothinghad happened I decided Flavia deserved much better than that and soI told them politely thatI was leaving and taking her elsewhere. Now I'm waiting for my old vet to call me back Please send lots of good wishes for Flavia. Kerry

to save the kitties? Boy, they really have a mean streak! If they
want the cats out of there they should be overjoyed at the offer. I'm
not the only one angry about this, am I.

UPDATE JUNE 7TH
2005"Pets
Alive" Offers Sanctuary to Corpus Christi Monastery Cats(June 7, 2005 / 7 pm EST) In an exemplary
show of compassion, Sara Whalen, head of Pets
Alive _javascript_:ol('http://www.petsalive.com');
, has offered to provide a new home
for the seven feral cats now facing starvation and possible impoundment and
death at the hands of the nuns of the Corpus Christi Monastery in the Bronx,
New York. The grounds of the monastery have been home to the neutered and
rabies-vaccinated cats for the past eight years. Sister Helen, Vicar of the
Religious Office for the Archdiocese of NY, has stated that the nuns of the
monastery are considering whether to allow volunteers to trap and remove the
cats so they can be transferred to Pets Alive.We hope compassion
will prevail and all parties will agree to this solution. The cats have now
not been fed for six days and
counting.

The Hartz Advanced Care 4 in 1 Flea and Tick Drops Plus for Cats and the Hartz Advanced Care 3 in 1 Flea and Tick Drops for Cats will still be sold in retail outlets through March 31, 2006, when the company will launch a new product for cats. No other Hartz Mountain flea and tick products are affected by the voluntary cancellation, which came about after discussions with the Environmental Protection Agency. The Secaucus-based firm also said it had signed an agreement with the agency to cancel the product registrations for the advanced care topical cat products. Signs of individual animal sensitivity have included skin irritation, hair loss at the application site, salivation and tremors. If signs of sensitivity occur, pet owners should bathe their cat with mild soap, rinse with large amounts of water and consult a veterinarian immediately. Consumers with questions can call the company at 800-275-1414.

Title: Message All paws and fingers crossed. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 2:34 PMTo: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Bramble Thankyou for you support Well I stood in the vets sobbing my heart out - she considered the flea treatment and said she thinks it is highly unlikely but she couldn't rule it out. She had only ever seen seizures once from stronghold in a dog whose owner administered it orally accidently - how silly can people be. And she said that she would expect continuous seizure if it was the flea treatment. I said I wasn't convinced and that more and more people are experiencing adverse reactions but are not reporting them or the companies are not making them known. I stood there and whilst I had the doubt in my mind that the flea treatment had exacerbated these symptoms as opposed to it being purely FIV related I was fighting for him. The vet said if he was her cat she would euthanase as he had suffered enough but she also said I have tried so hard along with Bramble and could see I wanted him to pull through. She was surprised that he had had 48hrs been seizures and we agreed that if he has another seizure within 24 hrs then I will have him euthanased - but I will watch him for another 24hrs to see what happens. So fingers crossed - he is depressed at the moment but it is only a few hours since his last seizure. Michelle L
