Re: Worried about Lucy

Re: Worried about Lucy

Thanks, Kerry. She's eating pretty well now, though will mostly only eat broiled turkey-- she did eat a few bites of her raw food this morning while waiting for the cooked, though. She had some liquid stool again last night at 7, but it has been over 14 hours now with no stool, so I have my

Re: Worried about Lucy

Glad to hear that she is eating good again..Maybe it is the IBD..I think sometimes we have to give them those supplements/meds to get them thru a hard time..Seems to be that way for me and we just never know when it is going to happen.. Bandy got over the bad leg soreness (front and rear, right

Re: Worried about Lucy

Thanks, Kerry. Is Inky FeLV-? And did you ever have to do 10 mg/day of pred for a while to get Inky back to feeling ok and having normal stool? I would start the I-R as soon as your vet gets back. I know some people give it sub-q and it seems to work fine that way, but it is recommended

Re: Worried about Lucy

Kerry, another thought... Has the vet looked into rheumatoid arthritis for Bandy? That kind of arthritis is immune-mediated. I am wondering if that could be what is going on. I don't know if cats get it. Does he have any swelling in his leg joints when he gets sore? If so, there is also

Kerry -- Something For Bandy's ringworm maybe???

Kerry this was on one of my other lists, thought I'd send it to you to check into for Bandy's ringworm problem, I've never used it so don't know anything about it personally. I am wondering if you can get calendula officinalis ( marigold) Medicinal Use: here from one of the many websites

Re: Worried about Lucy

Kerry, Did Inky ever have a relapse where you gave extra pred but it did not kick in during the first few days? Lucy has been on 12.5 mg/day for 3 days now but is still having liquid stool (though she had one semi-solid stool yesterday, and at least her stools are far apart and not

For Kerry and Bandit-- calici virus

Kerry, is it possible that Bandy has Calici virus? Has he been tested for it? I did not think of it, because it generally affects kittens only, but I was just looking at Robert MacDowell's remedy for it and he says it can surface later in life if the cat is immuno-compromised. It gives

Re: Worried about Lucy

Michelle,if there is/are any palpable lump type things in her abdomen, a fine needle aspirate could be done as opposed to a full surgical biopsy. My Ninja developed intestinal lymphoma during her last month or two and while the mass was definitely palpable (I felt it petting her while she was on
