Yay! To Junior! We're new here and I have a 9-month-old with FelV+ and lymphoma doing excellently on chemo.

Re: Update Junior
I'm glad he's feeling better! Metacam is controversial, but I've used it in the past as well with good results and no long term ill effects.

Re: Update Junior
Hi Sally, I'm so pleased to hear how much better Junior is doing. Thank you very much for updating us on his progress. It's wonderful that he's regained some of his sight. The news is so very encouraging! Have you been giving him Omegas for the inflammation? It would be good if you could wean him off the Metacam eventually, (I've heard some neg reports about it's use). In the meantime, I don't see how a fish oil supplement could hurt. Maybe you could ask your vet what he thinks. I give my German Shepherd flax seed oil to help with his degenerative spine disease and arthritis because it's high in Omegas (they are proven to reduce inflammation). Because grains are not good for kitties, I give them salmon oil instead. Omega fatty acid is also good for their coat. I recently ordered a concentrated Omega 3 supplement that is advertised as an skin allergy reliever. It's called Aller G-3, I got it online, I think at Only Natural. I take it Eric is your son? I'm sorry to hear he is in pain. Would you like to tell us more about what you know of Eric's condition? I don't remember your writing about him before. Your commitment to Junior's care is even more commendable knowing how much you have on your plate already. I loved hearing about Eric and Junior being such good therapy for each other. Isn't it amazing how our fur babies give back to us in so many ways? Blessings to your family, Nina Sally Davis wrote: Hi Everyone Yesterday was a very good day for Junior.
