Re: Assist feeding Grace - Darla's recipe
With my distemper kittens, my holistic vet gave me basically the same recipe. We started the kits out w/ colustrum w/ olive leaf extract, and now, since the girls are doing so well, we have continued w/ the recipe, in addition to sarting them on a "raw diet", basically lamb brown rice.We d/c'ed the colostrum, but continue w/ olive leaf. My vet has me make the rice "wet", and collect the extra liquid, as a brown rice water to be added to feedings. Just thought I'd share also, since these 2 were literally on death's door, and after losing 3 already, our hopes were not "high". Moonshade Taylor are thriving Taylor "doubling" her weight in the last month!! Another 30 days isolation, spay after that then the FUN begins. finding them GREAT homes!!! It's been a hellish kitten season, SIGH.. It seems they NEVER get any better. I still have the 2 little boys from the feral mom, looking for homes for them also... Continuing my efforts w/ their mom, Charity, is a very slow progress. At least she doesn't attack me anymore. I think I am gaining her trust, very slowly. I don't know what to do with her I see she looks "sad" being crated, but I am afraid to release her just yet. (Still not comfortable w/ that idea...traffic in this town is HORRIBLE, as we live on the Main St., and on "grade", so traffic FLIES uphill, 24 hours a day. lots of big trucks.) Well, just thought I'd share. Get some of my "weight" off my chest. I truely have been so busy this summer. Busier in "retirement" then I planned on. Best to all, Patti

Try Feliway spray with your feral cat. It has worked wonders with the ones I have taken in. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 11:24 AM Subject: Re: Assist feeding Grace - Darla's recipe With my distemper kittens, my holistic vet gave me basically the same recipe.

Thanks, I am using the Feliway Spray, along w/ daily Rescue Remedy. I DO think it has helped, but this poor girl is so scared, after being "tossed" out like garbage, w/ her babies, really, what can you expect?? And, she is still a baby herself, vet estimates her less than oneyear old. I'll just keep on trudging along. I guess "baby steps" are better than NO progress, I need to remind myself to be thankful for the progress we have made. I just get a bit "overwhelmed", wishing I could do more. Patti
