Oh Stephanie,
I'm sorry TeeCee's prognosis looks so grim. The vet didn't think a
blood transfusion would buy him time to try some of the things the list
suggested? I'm sorry for what the two of you are going through, but
you're an angel on earth to come to his rescue and give him the
Nina,
The vet doesnt recommend treatment because hes
not producing blood anymore, so were just prolonging suffering in her
eyes. I just purchased a supplement thats supposed to help emmensley
with FELV+ kitties and make their immune systems work again. I talked to a vet
who strongly
Steph,
Please don't crawl into that hole. I understand how you feel, it's
just awful that this is happening. I'm not saying you should cheer up
or anything as idiotic as that, but try to use the time you have with
Tee Cee to share your love and be as optimistic as you can. Tell him
how much he
Epogen is what helps sometimes when not producing red blood cells. Takes time to work though.

Stephanie,
I know this is tough, but you don't have to give up
yet. A blood transfusionis a quick fix that should turn things
aroundtemporarily.If it takes, you will see Tee Cee eating again and
acting more normal.If you want to take
aserious shot at this, a blood transfusion is the
Thank you Nina for your concern, his gums are alittle pale, not bad though. Yes I used the whole tube, as I did with everyone else, and he is not my smallest by far. He is getting alond wonderfully with tevryone now, no more hissing or anything, yes I can engage him in play, but I have to wake him
I am so sorry Steph, it always hurts, but he will be so much better without the pain, keep a vihil and who knows it might pass, weirder things have happened around here.

Kyle and group,
Both Jazz and Grace started acting sick about two weeks ago. Grace
responded with Dox, and I tried to get away with splitting a vial of VO
over two days for Jazz, (no Dox, Jazz has never been on Dox, and I
didn't know if it was appropriate). She seemed to get a little better,
Cherie,
If he's dehydrated, and he doesn't start eating and drinking soon, you
should take him in for fluids and to have him checked. It doesn't sound
behavioral. If he doesn't take food the next time you offer it, I'd
syringe feed him some. It's no fun, but it does seem to kick-start

I haven't written in some time but I have a question
about one of my cats with leukemia. I took her to the
vet Friday for a check up and blood work (I take all
my cats every 6 months). She has a lump in her
abdomen that was not there in January of this year
when she had an x-ray. She is 4 years
Sorry to hear about Shelby.
I had a kitty that had cancer in the spleen. She was negative for Felv. I was noticing she was losing weight and hanging out at the water bowl. This was in such a short period of time.Then off to the Vet she went. She had not been sick a day in her life. She had a

Amy,
I'm sure there are things you can do to help Shelby. While I can't
advise you about this, (I haven't had to deal with lymphoma), there are
many on the list that have been through similar experiences. The
weekend is a bit slow for response time, but I'm sure you'll be getting
more input
MC,
It must be such a trip at your house!

I finally got him to eat a little, not much but it is a start, my new concern is he just peed in a new toy that was like a square with three holes and one solid side, any ideas?Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Cherie,
I don't know what's ailing Thor, but something is wrong. Gypsy only
misses the litter box (with urine, she misses it with the other all the
time), when she's feeling particularly sick. I've learned to not "wait
and see" anymore. Besides, you mix don't you? Whatever's bothering

Hi, Nina. I would try Immuno-regulin with Jazz. It seemed to help Brissle a
lot. I will try it if something goes wrong with one of my remaining 3. In
fact, I want to keep some on hand so I can bring it to the vet with them
if/when
there is a problem, to make sure there is no delay in trying
Two of mine, and possible a third (had no palpable tumors and was not
definitively diagnosed) died of lymphoma. FeLV+ cats get it a lot, and 4 is an

that is common for getting it. My cat Simon died in February of lymphoma which
was in his spleen, liver, and bone marrow.
I would

That's a really good suggestion. I think I'll print out some info on
Immuno-regulin and, even bring the website Kyle found for ordering. Do
I remember correctly that it's an IV injection? That's something my vet
would have to do. Ugggh, I don't want to learn to do yet
Thank you all for all of the kind words about my Tiggie. It has helped me so much knowing thatthere are other people who know what my Tiggie and I went through. Thank you for being so supportive.
And Tamara,you are right. My Tigger is a veryornery little girl. I am sure that she and
Yes, immunoregulin is IV injections.

I agree, MC, although I'm very careful about quantity and sometimes
do two sessions of 50 cc fluids rather than one of 100.
I also agree, MC, about the digital camera. Hydrating isn't good.
Lots of rain isn't goodl. Also - don't mix regular batteries with
rechargeable. Ain't it great the
