Heather, Isabella would cry out if touched and had unexlained tremors (we
thought she was dead at least twice) and high fever. She was anemic. She pulled

I can't imagine Frankie or any animal wearing one of those things for 2 weeks
especially if the poor dear is blind. There has to be a better way. I hope

Poor baby. At least you found it! Frankie wa sent home with a hood yesterday

BTW, that vet had no business washing her eyes

I would give her L-lysine twice a day, 500 mg each time until she goes in and
for a few days after she gets home
Hi Kerry. So sorry to hear of Inky's passing. He lived a long time with those
challenging health issues. You must be a good mommy and he was determined to
stay with you as long as he could. Those last 10 days, must, in retrospect be a
comfort..?
You have another angel and he is free now. From t
