Well that's a pretty good report! So your not having to do the dreaded subq fluids anymore? If you are, has he gotten better about accepting it? I know the murmur is troubling, (how wonderful that your vet can come by the house to recheck), prayers that it's nothing to worry about. Prayers

Yes he gets 150mls a day, he is pretty good for the most part unless I screw it up. Yesterday I had to poke him 3 times before I got it right, poor guy. He really puts up with a lot! :) -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... Be-Mi-Kitties http://bemikitties.com Post Adoptable

that's not because they're persians, but because they're the most popular cat breed in the US--ie, the most overbred, poorly bred, backyard bred, etc. i'm currently owned and operated by seven of the darlings, and so far today have been involved on some level with finding fosters or

My little Morgana that died last week was a Persian. I still don't know why she died. She did come from a hoarder, though. I'm hoping Clarissa's potential adopters will still want her. One of my friends in rescue has 17 of them. 2 at a time is about all I can handle, they need so much care.

so many kitties that come from hoarder situations bring baggage that's almost impossible to overcome... hard to know if it's genetic, or just from neglect, or a problem with the individual cat that nothing would have been able to predict or prevent. which doesn't make it any easier to lose them.
