John - how old is Smokey? and why is Smokey on steroids. If Smokey is on FeLV
then long term cortico-steroid use weakens the immune system so not ideal for
FIV or FeLV cats. (Someone correct me if Prednisilone is not cortico - please
but I thought it was).
As for the drinking then I'd agree
John also be aware that if cats don't eat enough they are in danger of fatty
liver disease - so it's a case of trying every food possible until they eat it
and sometimes assistfeeding to supplement - with syringes - some acts tolerate
well but others don't. Smokey will still need to get her
Terri,
I am so sorry. Please accept my sympathies and hopefully your pain will
start to heal. Thank you so much for all the love and attention you gave
your fur family.

Dear Nina,
Healing wishes and prayers on the way for Princess Grace, and for you, too. It's sometimes so hard to know what is best to do and we have to weigh so many variables when making these decisions. My husband has always told me (because I have to re-think and re-live every choice I make!)
Terri, I am so sorry for Marietta and for you. I can well believe that all these terrible losses are literally making you sick; it's so hard. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that they couldn't have been more loved. Sending you a big, big hug.

John,
Can you just post the numbers in an email to this list? Especailly the hematocrit?
Apparently hemobartonella sometimes takes more than a normal course of dox to get rid of it.
But it may not be hemobartonella. It could be lymphoma, and if it is, and if you want to, chemo really can
Thank you Julie for your wise and kind words. Your's and your husband's

I am hoping and praying that Grace is improving. Next time I am definately coming back as the kitty, not the caretaker!

Oh Kerry, I'm so sorry to hear about Rascal's troubles! That's so sweet
the way he and Bandy are such good buddies. Someone on this list posted
once about a home made oxygen cage. I can't remember who it was,
maybe Patti? I'm hoping they will see this and post about how they
fixed one up.
Hello John, Julie and Smokey,
I'm sorry you had to find us, but I'm glad you did. What a lovely story
about how Smokey chose the two of you, some things are just meant to
be. I guess he knew what he was doing! I'm so pleased you didn't take
your vet's advise about having him put to sleep!
Nina,
You're welcomeI hope you can find something holistic to
help Grace...
I am going to e-mail you off list anyway (in response to your
touching e-mail about Felix Rescue.)
I'll include some great books for referance and some of the
best online holistic sources...
Hugs,

My dog Fern was on an at-home oxygen tank for her last week (she had lung cancer). She did not like it very much and had to get mild tranquilizers to deal with it, but it made her breathe much much easier.The way it worked was that the oncologist put a nasal oxygen tubein her nose (one shallow
