Has he been checked for lymphoma? If he is FeLV+, that would be my guess.
There are things you can do for lymphoma. To diagnose, first step is
usually blood work and palpating for tumors, and if no tumors that can be felt
doing a full-body x-ray to see if any show up. Lymphoma can be
I am not sure because I have Patches' benadryl compounded into an ear
cream. She gets 1 cc of that but that does not translate into any other form of
benadryl. When I was first told to give it to her I was told to give her
the pill, and it was either 1/4 or 1/6 of an over-the-counter pill
You know, I tend to wish that, too. Gloria and I are part of the same rescue group and we both are really concerned that this issue has come up with one of our cats.
Several years ago I was so freaked out by FIV and Feleuk that when Gloria and I first met over a couple of cats who'd always been

the sick kids and crying with the sudden deathas we have had lately. I

Dear Macarena
I'm so sorry that Kurt is having such a bad time, and so glad it's YOU,
Macarena, that he has to look after him. I don't have enough experience
to offer any advice, but I'm sending lots of healing vibes the little
honey's way. It sounds like he has the best medical attention coming
Hi Susan,
I think you're doing a wonderful thing, helping as many, as best you
can. Thanks to you and all those who take on so much. What else could
anyone ask for? Ah, a perfect world...
The cost of the feline interferon is high, $250 for a full 5 day
treatment. Yes, that will exclude so
You're right, it is the same way. I hope our vet will go ahead with the paperwork - and maybe we can find a way to come up with some $$. I sometimes wonder if it would be better to take in fewer animals and be able to concentrate more time and money both on their care - but then along comes
That's why I say don't bother testing. There's no telling how many have been put down because they tested positive when they could have just been exposed and would havetested negative 90 days later.
Also, there's no telling how many they've adopted that are positive because they tested negative
Oh Susan, I understand completely. I've, sort of by default, opted for
taking in fewer in order to do more for each one. The only way I can do
that though, is to stay inside the house with the door locked.
Sometimes when I'm driving down the streets of my neighborhood, I'm

I hear you, Susan. I started out
only one cat 12 years ago, and now have over 50 and it can be
overwhelming sometimes especially when some one gets sick. When my Suzi
died, I was so sad that and all I wanted to do was to cry and hide, and not to
do anything but I really couldnt. Because

Macarena,
I would assume that the nausea is from the kidney
problems rather than the diabetes, though the two problems may be related.
Kidney problems can be helped by subcutaneous fluids and phosporous blockers,
and perhaps other things that are currently slipping my mind. The nausea

P.S. If he turns out to have chronic renal failure, or kidney failure,
there is a very helpful yahoo group you can join. I can dig up the address
of the group or someone else must have it. There is also a diabetes list.

Oh Hideyo,
I hope your feral boy kitty is okay. I know what it's like to worry
over these guys, there's so little we can do for them! The first link

favorite feral before, (Lance). Once when he was limping, she told me

I've no experience of cancer, Kyle, but I'm sending lots of healing
positive vibes for Brissle. That is good news about the HCT. (I know
what 9.7 looks like and it's not good.) I'm glad Brissle is doing well
energy- and eating-wise. Long may that continue. Brissle is one lucky

Hi, Kyle,
Is there any way that you can get a second opinion? I feel that
starting with chemo without confirmation of the cause being a cancer is
also a risky for your kitty, I also suspected that my Simon and OB might
have a cancer, and my vet recommended ultrasound (preferable) or X-ray
to see
I am so sorry to read about your Kurt. Hopefully the specialist can suggest
something. My sister's cat recd two insulin shots for years but her diabetes
was discovered very early. I will pray for your sweet old friend.

sorry to hear the news about Frasier, Barbara,but praying that the vet is
right, and he can prevent it spreading. I know Frasier is going to get love and

You are very welcome, Kyle. I am usually the very first one to make a
quick conclusion from a blood work lab result myself, but my holistic

Everythingyou said makes sense.I really do need to see a specialist.
I'll look for an interntomorrow.
You know, I knew I should have asked for a hemobart test. We never had one
in the first place. Brissle was on Baytril, then Dox
FYI, lymphoma in the spleen or kidneys can also cause anemia, without
suppressing white blood cell count the way lymphoma in the bone marrow
does. But it also makes the spleen and kidneys enlarged, and a vet should
be able to feel that when examining the cat. So I would doubt it is that
Yea Michelle! (Don't you just love her?).
Kyle, I'd forgotten we were talking about the vet with questionable manhood.
My Grace was tested for Hemobart and it came up negative, my vet (an
internist, btw), suspected it and put her on Dox anyway. She tells me
