Bandy has still been having some temp. problems...It was 105.8 on Monday..and once again we gave him 1/2cc dex to bring it down...He responds very rapidly to it, and seems to feel so much better...His PCV was at 30, and he now going to get animal epogen injections twice weekly for maybe just 1 or
Could Bandy's anemia be related to his original kidney infection? He doesn't have CRF and all kidney function test were normal..I was just wondering if that could have been a cause along with the possibility that he has FIA..
Any suggestions on any other tests that he should have, please let us
Just curious. Has everyone received their St. Francis
medals? I have not seen any updates posted to the
list.
Just wanted to know what they looked like and how
everyone chose to display them. The medals sound
really neat.

HiI took him in and yes I know it was FIP (if you would of seen his stomach -like someone had blown a huge balloon up inside it and it was just an overnight swelling up)
I don't think 1/2 cc of dex sporadically is that bad for him. How often does he get it?

Hi Kerry,
I'm happy to hear that Bandy has gained a bit of weight but is having problems with fever. A really high fever like that can often be symptomatic of something a friend's vet calls a "hot virus". The come kind of out of nowhere, bring a high fever, and tend to resolve on their own. How

I'm so very sorry; thankfully he spent his too-short life with someone who loved him unconditionally. He'll be watching over you now.

Hi Everyone,
I'm really worried about my little man. When I went to visit him last night, his belly was even more full of fluid. He's on an IV (he's quite dehydrated) and getting antibiotics for the high WBC. He was quite happy to see me and acting like he felt well. He greedily ate baby food
I hope all turns out well. I have never heard of anything like this.

Dear Kerry,
You're absolutely correct; I'm so frustrated! I am taking comfort from the fact that he seems quite content (he even played his game of "tapping" my hand when I stopped petting him last night). He's bright and alert. It's so strange; thank you so much for the good vibes and the hugs!
I don't know Julie, sounds like FIP, but no pain
abd clear fluid... that's unusual, does the fluid have a high protein content?
"The total protein concentration in the effusion
of a cat with FIP is usually greater than 35 g/l and this usually consists of
more globulin than albumin, pushing
Thanks SO much for all those links, Jenn. We're still waiting for the cytology on the fluid to get the protein content. I never thought I'd be literally praying for some kind of bacterial peritonitis, but I am!

You probably know about Dr. Addies

I'm so sorry to hear little Tator is showing such alarming symptoms.

Yes, I do know about it; I've almost been afraid to to look for updates on her site (it would be like tempting fate or something). I know it's great information and I need to be armed with all of it. Thank you so much for your good wishes and thoughts!

Thank you so much, Nina! I'm so worried about him and the longer we go without answers, the more my mind runs away with itself!
You know I hope not to need this information, but, as I said to Hideyo, I have to be armed! I've done a reasonably good job of suppressing all the superstitions I was

Hi All
Well they tested pos again- . My Vet decided to do the snap test
again and possibly send one or two out but since they all tested pos,
she told me to save my money... Money is getting tight right now.
I also am afraid but another one (the brother) is starting to get a
swollen belly
I am sorry, I havent read that all
the strings of messages but is he getting fluid at least every day?
When my Leo was ill, he couldnt eat anything and I couldnt force
feed him, so I gave him fluid every day for 10 days or so I know
without that, he wouldnt have made it.. but I am sure
Hi,
Yes, I have heard of Purvax, but it is for Rabies, not for leukemia. I use
it on my cats. It is an annual rabies vaccine, that has been determined not
to cause the vaccine related sarcomas often found with three years rabies
and yearly leukemia vaccines. I have used it for about three

Hi,
Thanks for the info...Bandy has gotten dex no more often than evry 3 or 4 days...and even gone as long a week a couple of times...I think in the last 6 wks. he has had maybe 7 or 8 injections.. I don't like it either but I thought since it was short acting and no more often than that, it
