Sherry, I am so sorry to hear about little Trish. Thank God these little ones know they are loved because of you. I just don't know where you find the strength to go through it over and over. At least they are going to a place where this horrible disease can not follow. Sue Sherry

I am taking my kitten, Tommy, to a holistic vet this morning. After speaking with her yesterday, I am very encouraged! Like some of you have told me, she said that a separation would be too stressful on ALL of the cats, which is the worst thing for their little immune systems.

Sherry, I'm so sorry you lost Trish. That happened to one of the kitties at the Katrina shelter I volunteered at for a few months. Frenzy had just gotten adopted, and then they found out she was full of cancer. It seemed so unfair that she had been through so much already, and then that. Gentle

Hi Sue Frank, I have a FeLV + kitty who had a bad upper respiratory infection that was sneezing green mucous and eventually turned into blood. He was on amoxi drops, clavimox and now doxycycline. The last vet appointment Spazzy's vet wasn't at all concerned about him sneezing the blood just

Oh, so you have him on the Immulan! My holistic vet gave me info on that, but has never used it before, so I am still thinking about it. Would you mind sharing cost info with me? Tommy was started on two new medicines - DMG to boost his immune system, and a homeopathic mixture

Christy, Do you know if these items will work if the anemia is already in the bone marrow? My Buzz is taking Prednesolone, Leukeran and has been on Doxycycline and they are no longer working - my vet says it is because the problem is in his bone marrow. He does not have more then a few days

Brenda, Thank you so much for the information. Tweezer is still sneezing but not as much and he was and is still acting like a happy little kitten even though he is around two years old. He was extremely malnourished and was pretty sick when I got him. I have not been paying as close

Hi Christy, Thanks, I would appreciate the info. WOW, $140 a shot is OUTRAGEOUS. When I started looking into it the shots were $50 to $65 (I think that was about double what the original company was charging)and I just saw a recent post where someone was paying $85. Either Imulan has gotten
