Good Morning,
Hope you all had a good weekend. Chester did not do good this weekend. It
was hot out in 90s. I kept him in basement and kept putting wash rag w/cold
water on him. Basement was very cool and his body should be able to
regulate temp. Was not moving around much-took his temp

to protect the cat from direct contact. They are easier than the rags and
What a beautiful girl, I hope she continues to do so well.:)

No, I actually agree with that. It does depend on the cat. If Samantha is terrified of car rides and vets, I might not do chemo, because you need weekly appointments. It all depends. If she is relatively ok with it, I would.

Triaminic, the orange version, is a children's cold remedy that really helps clear congestion. A vet told me to give .2 ml (that's point 2, not 2) to Ginger when she was too stuffed up to eat, and it really seemed to make her feel better and help her start eating.
