Re: Bandy's latest
He was up last night when I went in there...I guess he had been eating as one side of his food tray was empty..I always give him 2 or 3 choices as I need him to eat..and always one without any supps in it..That may be crazy, but I want him to eat most of all. He looks awful cause of the ringworm, but wasn't limping much that I could tell. The swelling is gone from his leg today so I don't know what that was...the soft tissue swelling is still there some, but he didn't seem to be in any pain now.. Anyway, I will let you know how it goes..Once again, thanks to all of your for always being here.. Kerry and Bandy Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Yahoo! Small Business.

Re: Bandy's latest
I'm sorry he is doing badly again. I would guess rheumatoid arthritis or polyarthritis. Polyarthritis is an auto-immune reaction. Does it get better when he gets dex shots? Polyarthritis would.

Re: Bandy's latest
We are going to start IR on Monday as she wanted to make sure we get his temp down..He ate for me just now...and I did see him go to the dry food bowl and litter box..His leg is still swollen, but I think some of that is the fluids that he got yesterday.. She has an incubator that is heated with oxygen..She said we would put him in it after he gets the IR injection just in case of the temp rise and chills...guess he would be comfortable in it. I leave one bed in his room with a heating pad under it on low all the time...He will get in it at times as I think it makes him feel better.. Kerry and Bandy Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.
Re: Bandy's latest
Kerry, I do think Ginger's reaction is rare. So you might want to wait and see before putting him in an incubator. I don't think fluids from yesterday would be in his leg today unless he has edema or something. I think something else is going on. Michelle In a message dated 7/6/2006 5:20:47 P.M.

Re: Bandy's latest
Glad to hear the update on Bandy, it has been a while. It's good that he's gained weight and looks good. His temp staying down for longer periods is also good progress. You may be on to something with the idea of a deep inflammation due to an old injury that flares up occasionally. I was scared to know when who-ever it was asked about him after all this time, I'm so happy he is doing well!
