RE: A story of a little miracle Dharma - Dharma has become an angeltonight..
Hideyo,My heart is breaking for you and little Simba :( I know that Dharma had to leave but at the same time you and he are left behind to miss her so! You and Dharma worked so hard but her little body wasvery tired. Now she is free, an angel baby, with her sister Naomi. Part of me knows that she is happy and not in pain anymore, but the other part of me feels it's just not fair. I want to rail against the unfairness of it all. Bless you for loving her so much and helping her. She brought so much love in her short time onearth and she experienced true love with you.Gina Hideyo Yamamoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Oh gosh, you guys, its so hard to see.. dharma and Naomir little brother, Simba is missing dharma so much he is holding Dharma who is on couch wrapped by blanket.. he tries to play with her like he always has, and not sure whts wrong with her as she does not play back.. he did the same thing when Naomi passed,, but then Dharma was there to comfort him..he is not leaving where Dharma is he is holding her with his little paws and its breaking my heartFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hideyo YamamotoSent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 12:26 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; felvtalk@felineleukemia.org; CRF Family; [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: A story of a little miracle Dharma - Dharma has become an angeltonight..Hi, my name is Dharma I am a little calico kitty with three paws and here is my story Once upon a time, there is a family Naomi, Dharma (me), and Simba and our mama we were only about 6-7 weeks old then, our mama kept us safe in a tiny hole under the crawl space of an abandoned house.. one day, the human decided to close down the crawl space so that they can renovate the house our mama kitty and we did not know what was going to happen to the hole--- so we hided and underneath of a tiny hole and we did not make any noise so no one could find us.. while our mama was out getting our food, a human friend, Hideyo came to catch us --- we tried so hard not to be caught as we were so afraid of being away from our mommy it took a several hours, but at the end, each of us was scooped by a little net to catch a little fish our mama saw us being taken away and she looked so worried.. and a friend Hideyo promised our mama that she was gong to so good care of us.. mama looked so sad and worried and we were so sad to be away from our mama.. we cried and cried..We went to our friend Hideyos house, and she told us that she was going to take care of us like our mama to protect us --- it took for a while.. but we made some friends, and we played and ate and slept a lot . and then, my little sister Naomi started feeling not too good, I knew something was wrong and I wanted to take care of her so I groomed her all the time for her, our new mama, Hideyo was very worried and took her to the doctor.. but Naomi did not get better, and she decided that she wanted to leave the body as her body was not letting her to do things that she wanted to do.. and she wanted to be free so that she can play again..I was very mad at her leaving me.. but I knew that we would see each other again Our new mama was so sad to see Naomi go she cried and cried.. but I knew that naomis sould was still with us at home.. but our mama Hideyo couldnt see After my sister Naomi became an angel, she got lonely and she asked if I could come to where she was at and I said.. okay my little sister,,, I will come stay with you.. just give me three months as I wanted to have enough time to say good bye to my brother simba and our new mama hideyo .Today was exactly three months after Naomi became an angel..

Stress related hair loss?
Hi guys, I took my Ciara in to see the vet again yesterday. (She is my IBD? kitty). She had stomatitis and had 8 teeth removed to address that. She was diagnosed at that vet (not my regular vet) with IBD. Now we are wondering if it is actually Giardia, and not IBD, which would be a relief. She also had cysts on both ovaries when spayed. She is underweight, though slowly gaining. She went from 6.04 lbs at her last vet appointment in July to 6.51 pounds in November. I thought she had ringworm, at least on her head, and maybe mange on her back and tail. Her head is crusty, with hair loss, and her back and tail are not crusty, with major hair loss. Most of the hair on her back and tail is gone. Her hair loss is so severe that when you pet her big chunks of hair fall out. He says it is not ringworm, and probably not mange (he did a skin scraping and did not find any mange mites). If it doesn't clear up, he says the next step is to take a biopsy and send it to the lab. His opinion at this point is that is probably stress related (from all the medical issues - I pulled her from the shelter back in March, so I'm not sure it would still be shelter stress, but maybe? - She also might not be happy living among so many other cats - maybe it would help if I isolated her?) He suggested high fiber food - he sells Royal Canin, which I am not a fan of, but I don't know much about high fiber foods. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions here? Ciara looks miserable and sad, though he is of the opinion she is not as unhappy as she looks. Thanks, Kelley -- Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life!http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20

Re: one vet's thoughts on sub-q ImmunoRegulin
I was really talking about drawing blood. Both the vets I use take the cats in the back to draw blood. They don't my dogs though. I guess dogs may handle the situation better. Last month when Smokey had to have blood drawn for a CBC, I asked they do it in the exam room. I thought it might help him if I was there to pet and talk to him through it. He actually did very well. The vet didn't have a problem with doing it in the exam room. I guess they might think that the sight of blood may bother some people.

Hideyo, Oh, not another sweet baby, gosh Hideyo you have a very hard time recently, I'm sorry to hear about Dharma. You surely have a very special place when you go home and will have so many furkids waiting to greet you. I think you are so special to put yourself out there again and again knowing with these special babies there is a good chance you will be dealing with a broken heart when it is time for them to leave and yet you keep giving these special babies your love and heart. It takes a very special person to give so selflessly when there is that possibility of it involving so much pain if you loss them and especially so young. Poor little Simba losing both of his siblings, my prayers for him to understand they are in a better place and hopefully they will visit with him and he will understand and not be too sad. I hope Dharma comes to you soon and lets you see how happy she is now and waiting for the day when you will all be together.

Hi, my name is Dharma – I am a little calico kitty with three paws and here is my story … Once upon a time, there is a family – Naomi, Dharma (me), and Simba and our mama – we were only about 6-7 weeks old then, our mama kept us safe in a tiny hole under the crawl space of an abandoned house.. one day, the human decided to close down the crawl space so that they can renovate the house – our mama kitty and we did not know what was going to happen to the hole--- so we hided and underneath of a tiny hole and we did not make any noise so no one could find us.. while our mama was out getting our food, a human friend, Hideyo came to catch us --- we tried so hard not to be caught as we were so afraid of being away from our mommy – it took a several hours, but at the end, each of us was scooped by a little net to catch a little fish…our mama saw us being taken away and she looked so worried.. and a friend Hideyo promised our mama that she was gong to so good care of us.. mama looked so sad and worried – and we were so sad to be away from our mama.. we cried and cried.. We went to our friend Hideyo’s house, and she told us that she was going to take care of us like our mama to protect us --- it took for a while.. but we made some friends, and we played and ate and slept a lot…. and then, my little sister Naomi started feeling not too good, I knew something was wrong and I wanted to take care of her so I groomed her all the time for her, our new mama, Hideyo was very worried and took her to the doctor.. but Naomi did not get better, and she decided that she wanted to leave the body as her body was not letting her to do things that she wanted to do.. and she wanted to be free so that she can play again..I was very mad at her leaving me.. but I knew that we would see each other again… Our new mama was so sad to see Naomi go…she cried and cried.. but I knew that naomi’s sould was still with us at home.. but our mama Hideyo couldn’t see… After my sister Naomi became an angel, she got lonely…and she asked if I could come to where she was at… and I said.. okay my little sister,,, I will come stay with you.. just give me three months as I wanted to have enough time to say good bye to my brother simba and our new mama hideyo…. Today was exactly three months after Naomi became an angel.. I decided to join my sister so that we can play together.. I told simba not to be lonely..we are just one meow away from each other.. if he misses us,,, all he has to do is to meow and we will come play with simba.. but simba now has a lot of friends and I know that he won’t be too lonely…. I needed to be sick like Naomi was so that I could go to a kitty heaven where my sister was.. that was hard for our mama,, she cried and cried.. and wanted to make me feel better and wanted me to stay. And she gave me all sort of medicines,, but I hated them..but I tried to hold on as long as I could.. but my body got very tired.. I couldn’t breath well.. and couldn’t walk well and my mama finally old me it’s okay if I wanted to go.. because Naomi is lonely out there… so tonight.. I said good bye to all my friends here at my house and joining my baby sister Naomi…. Everyone – thank your so much for all of your prayers and support.. I and Dharma are so grateful.. Dharma was and is such a strong little soul.. she ate the food on her own even an hour before she passed.. and she probably did it for me.. to make me feel better.. I wish I could stay with her longer.. I really did not expect her to go so soon.. today is November 1st.. she crossed the bridge at 10:44 pm… exactly 3 months ago on 8/1, and exactly around the same time, Naomi passed away in my arm, too… and seven days later,,, my little peter was also such a beautiful boy.. I cried so hard,, and I was so mad about what happened and did not know what to do.. have a big hole in my heart…and it’s going to be empty for a long long time.. there are lots of things I wish.. but all I know for sure is that my Dharma has become free just like my Tsubomi, Peter, Naomi, Hannibal, Wami, Garfunkle, George, and Henry have ---I have to tell you, Naomi and Dharma have a such a strong soul.. I never met a kitty who was so determined and so strong.. it’s been such a pleasure to have met her and be able to take care of her..

Re: A story of a little miracle Dharma - Dharma has become an angel tonight
Hideyo, NO! Doing dishes last night I sang to the tune of Oh Susannah - okay maybe not as classy as you would have hoped, but I'm no musical mastermind - to Bea and Satch about you and Dharma, and then biking to and from class, with each pedal I'd hum another word. I felt so confident that she'd make it. Help me understand what happenedwas it her lungs that finally gave way? She ate right before?! Oh no, Hideyo, I am so sorry. She was indeed a beautiful strong soul, that is just amazing. I hope that Simba understands. I hope that he doesn't get any ideas. Reading Dharma's story really reinforces though that she was so lucky to have you. Your love was obvious to her the whole way through.

High fiber food
Hi all, I'm looking for a decent food with at least 10% fiber. I have checked Felidae, Innova Evo, etc. Maybe such a thing can't exist because the fiber comes mostly from grain, which they shouldn't have? -- Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life!http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20

Re: High fiber food
Hi Kelley, I'm coming in late here, so I don't know why you want a higher fiber for your cat. I assume you have a nutritionist or vet telling you to do so. Why don't you just add the fiber to their existing food? Pure rice bran, (get it at a health food store), or canned pumpkin are good sources. Find out the ratio that is appropriate from whoever is telling you this is a good idea. Nina Kelley Saveika wrote: Hi all, I'm looking for a decent food with at least 10% fiber.

Re: High fiber food
Sorry - I sent another post really early this morning, and it hasn't posted. Whenever it comes through it should give you a better idea, but it is to help with her chronic diarrhea.

Re: Stress related hair loss? (a NEW 8% fiber cat food)
I have a hairless cat here too, well, he was just in my lap until I just had to get up to blow my nose from reading about Dharma passing. The scraping, cultures, and biopsies didn't discover anything on him. He tends to fluctuate with his baldness. A month or so will go by, and he'll grow some hair back, then he'll have another outbreak, and it will come out in patches, usually thinnest on his butt, rear legs, and neck areas. When he's in full outbreak mode, he gets10MG Prednisolone once a day, and it barely makes any difference. (he's back in my lap again now, BTW) Anyways, he gets terrible scabs, nasty crusty, even bloody looking sores from scratching. The part usually clears up after a while, and then he's just bald. There is a shot the other vet will give him that REALLY helps, but my other vet says that it will probably have really bad long term side effects, so I'm trying to NOT go that route. I think it's Dexamethsone or something like that (I'm fairly sure it starts with "dex"). We think it's allergies, but we've not done any elimination tests, simply because I can't separate him from the other cats well enough to do it in my small apartment. (he's now chewing on his front paw) None of my vets ever suggested a high fiber diet for skin problems though, that's a new one for me! Some suggested a NO GRAIN diet (which translates to VERY LOW fiber), actually. However, I CAN suggest a high fiber cat food to you, because one of my OTHER cats has a narrow pelvis, and is apt to blockages, so he's on a high fiber diet. The Natura Pet company JUST reformulated their Innova Lite cat food into two offspring products, Innova Low Fat, and Innova SENIOR (and they are discontinuing the Lite line). The Innova SENIOR diet is VERY high fiber (8%), the highest of any other cat food I've ever seen (and trust me, I've read about 300 labels). It's even high in fiber than any of the prescription diets (I have a good relationship with my vet's office, they let me go into their back room and read all the prescription diet labels too, LOL!)

Re: one vet's thoughts on sub-q ImmunoRegulin
Well, I think sometimes it may freak people out because if the cat is on the small side, they often have to use the major vein in the neck to draw blood. On dogs, it's just taken out of a front wrist or leg, on big cats it's usually the inside of a rear leg, but sometimes, they have to use the neck, and that is scary to watch.

Ember may or may not have a UTI. She's been peeing in one of the sinks in our rooms for a few weeks, but will also pee in her litter box. When the vet tried to get a sample from her yesterday, there was nothing to get. He sent some non-absorbant plastic litter home with us. I put the litter in her box after removing the normal litter and left for work this morning. It's after 9 p.m., and I still have nothing to pour into a container for the vet to test. Any thoughts on how to make sure I get a sample? I know I could test with pH strips, but I want the vet to be able to test for whatever he's looking for. Thanks, Lance

Hideyo, I am so sorry. I do not know how you are handling all this. I have also felt very bad, after the end, about the amount of drugs I tried in trying to save them or make them comfortable. But I also regret not having tried several drugs as well. At the same time. I guess that is just how it is. much love and condolences, Michelle In a message dated 11/2/2006 6:49:52 P.M.

RE: A story of a little miracle Dharma - Dharma has become an angeltonight
Oh.. Leslie.. you are just so sweet I and Dharma so appreciate you, Satch and Bea were doing for us.. Well..Dharma has had difficult time breathing on and off for the past couple of days and it was hard to watch sometimes she might have had some water in her chest or lung.. but still she was doing okay (gave her lasix and might have made a little better?).. yesterday morning,, when I was calling everyone for breakfast, Dharma actually came up to the crowd and ready to eat (though she couldnt eat then).. but when I put the food out last night in front of her.. she actually ate really good (that was about 45 mins before she passed..) so even until the last moment, I never gave up the thought that she is going to overcome this and get better --- she must have some neurological problem, because she was having a difficult time walking at the end.. but as strong as she is.. she still walked around.. she had another stroke when I got home,, it was scary and I held.. and it went away, and she was okay. She is just an amazing little miracle, Leslie.. I never would have thought that she would cross the bridge last night.. I went to feed my feral cats in my neighborhood and I came home and checked on her.. she was resting, but she had a bit difficult time breathing.. so I decided to give her interferon.. and I went to fridge.. and came right back and touched her.. and I felt her breath one more time,, and then went away.. and got so scared, and I pulled her from where she was sleeping and she was not breathing anymore.. and I gave her mouth to mouth right away,,, called her name and held her.. she just had passed away.. did not come back. I know she waited for me to come back. and she did.. but I wish I had held her in my arm.. but Dharma really did not like me to do that because I often gave medicine or force fed her when I held her.. I wish I had held her more just for the sake of holding her.. I miss holding her so much, Leslie.. I know that I dont need to explain to you how painful and difficult this is.. but.. I have to think of what was best for dharma.. I think, dharma might have felt that I was neglecting all other kitties because I wanted to take so good care of Dharma and Dharma might have felt that it was not good for other kitties,,, and Dharma might have thought that.. Simba and I have all other kitties around,, but Naomi needed her more that we needed her.. perhaps.. and she decided to join Naomi I dont know.. but dharma is a very responsible and sweet girl.. and I thought that might have been what she was thinking of .. and of course she wanted to be free from the body which gave her limitations to what she wanted to do.. I am going to be so sad when I go home and not finding her where she has been.. there is a big hole in my heart and but I am going to re-fill it with all the love I have for her..

Dukee's Vet Records...Got them!
Hi all, Funny how fast they responded when I had the letter of request delivered to them. Told them I had direct contact with the Veterinary Board of WA. (with Belinda's help of course) Amazing! I can assure you I will drive the extra miles to see my regular Vets from now on. I got a call around noon time to tell me they have the copies ready for me. It was the same person that refused me the first time when I requested them prior. I told her my business will not be back. Told her she was rude that don't talk down to people that she doesn't know anything about. Anyway, the records of what I'm reading shows that he had Liver failure on top of having Hyperthyroid from all the blood work they did. So I put the blame on the other Vet for not running the full panel blood-work. Apparently he died during the night since we have no way of knowing. The attending Vet called me shortly after they had opened that morning.

Re: Petechia/Hemotomas and bloodwork results
She is slightly anemic, which is something that you want to address right away before it gets worse. Anemia is one of the things that can kill an FeLV+ cat if it gets bad. It is important to try to figure out the cause of anemia. There is a bacterial cause, called hemobartonella, ,that is treatable with doxicycline. If it is not that and is not cancer, some people have been able to turn it around with steroids and spogen, and with acemannan. Immuno-regulin is also reported to help sometimes, but I am not sure anyone on this list has tried it for anemia. If your vet can not figure out the cause, I recommend taking her to an internist. They are usually at bigger hospitals, vet school hospitals, and veterinary referral centers. Michelle In a message dated 11/2/2006 3:57:21 P.M.

Re: Stress related hair loss?
I thought stress related hair loss in cats is usually on the belly and legs from them pulling it out. If it is stress related, though, try Benadryl. My vet prescribed it for Patches, and it stops her from pulling her hair out. Without it she had a bald belly and back legs. I get it compounded into a transdermal cream to put on the inside skin of her ear because she is hard to pill. I think it's the equivalent of 1/6 of an over-the-counter benadryl pill twice a day, but am not totally sure about that. Michelle

Re: A story of a little miracle Dharma - Dharma has become an angeltonight
I really have a difficult time with mortality. Mortality as applied to both humans and felines. I never voted for it -- I totally can't support it. I resent it. I have a big problem coming to terms with it. When my grandfather passed away (Parkinson's)...I learned that the art of dying is a process. Usually it isn't something that happens instantaneously - it happens over time. Somewhere in the muddled memory of my reading - I recall that the native Indians have a last dance -- the dance they do when they say goodbye. They rally all their last energy for the dance. It is an art form. I can only hope that I have the energy to do my last dance in this way. Sometimes I think that is what our feline friends dosometimeswhen they say goodbye to us. They rally all their strength for the farewell dance. The last of our energy to say goodbye and to give back all the love and care that was given. elizabeth In a message dated 11/2/2006 6:47:50 P.M.

I don't think dizziness is generally considered a symptom of mild anemia. In severe cases, of course, cats can pass out, so that could cause dizziness.

I can't explain it.. but I have never seen anyone who is just so determined -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 5:47 PMTo: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Re: A story of a little miracle Dharma - Dharma has become anangeltonight Oftentimes people, both human and feline, rebound on their last day.

RE: A story of a little miracle Dharma - Dharma has become anangeltonight..
It's very hard isn't it.. I was also using homeopathy method .. and the person who was guiding me with it thinks that Dex shots I gave to my Dharma ended her life much shorter and suffered he rmore -- and I think of it so badly if that's what happened.. and I feel very responsible..

Hideyo, I am so sorry. I do not know how you are handling all this. I have also felt very bad, after the end, about the amount of drugs I tried in trying to save them or make them comfortable. But I also regret not having tried several drugs as well. At the same time. I guess that is just how it is. much love and condolences, Michelle In a message dated 11/2/2006 6:49:52 P.M.

oh.. elizabeth,, now you are making me cry again..I totally agree with you -- and I try to think of "death" as a transitional process to a new beginning - but it's still hard not being able to hold them in your arm anymore..

Mortality as applied to both humans and felines. I never voted for it -- I totally can't support it. I resent it. I have a big problem coming to terms with it. When my grandfather passed away (Parkinson's)...I learned that the art of dying is a process. Usually it isn't something that happens instantaneously - it happens over time. Somewhere in the muddled memory of my reading - I recall that the native Indians have a last dance -- the dance they do when they say goodbye. They rally all their last energy for the dance. It is an art form. I can only hope that I have the energy to do my last dance in this way. Sometimes I think that is what our feline friends dosometimeswhen they say goodbye to us. They rally all their strength for the farewell dance. The last of our energy to say goodbye and to give back all the love and care that was given. elizabeth In a message dated 11/2/2006 6:47:50 P.M.
