I'm so sorry, Laura, to hear your little Laura lost the battle. Sadly most of us on the list know the devastation of losing a little one to FeLV. I'm glad Laura at least was loved and cared for in her all too short life, right to the end. So many don't even have that. Please know you're in

I'm so sorry Laura.  I would never say that only the good die young, but way too many of them do.  It does seem that those that die young are extra wonderful.  I am happy that little Laura had a life full of love.  Know that you are in our hearts.   Amy --- On Fri, 5/22/09, Laura B

Hi Gloria I've been using it for about 6 months and have followed the directions given to me by Franck's Compounding, which is that it has a refrigerator life of 30 days for 60ml. I have been stretching that by giving it on one day and off the next. I wish I could help you, but I do know

Dear Laura, I was saddened to read that kitty laura has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I know that gut wrenching feeling. You did what you could to make her time here the best possible. She was loved and cared for . Many kitties aren't so blessed. Lighting a candle for her. Sharyl --- On Fri,
