Belinda,
Please add, my
friend, Norrice's kitten Twiggy to the Candlelight Service. She was about
9 months old, and probably died from FIP early Saturday morning. She had started
having seizures and was rushed to a 24 hours clinic. Norrice wastold there

There is a specific cat named Sambe, Mom is Stacy, she is
extremely busy and doesn't post often, but her Samba is FeLV positive
and is going strong last I heard about a month or so ago. They are in
Kansas. I believe he has lymphoma, he was diagnosed right after my
Buddie and I lost
Thanks, Tonya. It always helps that people remember him and acknowledge his precious, altho way too short, life.catatonya [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I am so sorry to hear about Cloud! Has the vet given you a definitive
diagnosis? Cats don't generally die of the Feleuk virus itself, but
rather because of diseases that take advantage of the cat's weakened
immune system...is Cloud anemic?

There are different reasons for anemia. You need to know what is

suspect Grace suffers from this, Hemobartinella), that could be

Liver shake is a recipe for food that will tempt many cats who will not otherwise eat. Here is the recipe:
1 cup raw liver
1 cup V-8, tomato juice, or fresh carrot juice
1/4 cup water
1 raw egg yoke
1 teaspoon kelp or spirulina
Blend in blender until liquid and frothy. Heat a little in a bowl
Hi Lisa,
No Doxocycline is not the same as Amoxocylin, doxo is one of the
preferred antibiotics used where hemo is diagnosed. The liver shake is
a recipe which has liver as the main ingredient, I will find it and post
it to the list, coming right up. It is good for cats who are anemic,
OK, I see Michelle has already posted it.

To give water to a cat, we usually give subutaneous fluids, which a vet needs to give you and show you how to give. The liver shake has a lot of liquid in it. If Cloud eat it or you syringe it, I would not worry about syringing water orally. When you next see a vet, though, you might want to
