Hooray for Merry and Michelle too! I Michelle don't try to downplay your help. Just having your ideas as an attorney have helped Hideyo hang in there. It sounds like finding Merry was a Godsend. I hope all of this pans out. It's sad (no offense intended to any attorneys or those in

Bonnie,Did you get on the hyper-t yahoo group yet? They are very knowledgeable with hyper-t, tapazole, and the effects of both on the kidneys, anemia, etc. They might have some ideas for you. Thinking of you and Fu.tonya[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:HI, Belinda. Yes, fluids do thin

Tonya, I don't think I'm on that one yet. The Epogen seems to have perked Fu up a little bit - I'm just hoping now that he'll make it through the next few days. Bonnie www.elephants.com - Original Message - From: catatonya [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, January 8, 2006 4:31 am

Unlike with humans, most anemia in cats is not related to poor iron absorption. Most cats with anemia are absorbing enough iron but having trouble with their bone marrow or their kidneys or their spleen. While feeding some liver should not hurt (though be careful because cats can get

No offense taken. Merry and I actually talked for a while about this very thing-- how the city attorney and the city council started acting differently once Merry announced to them she was going to take the case and put together a team of lawyers to fight it. She said the "team" was going

First of all, thank you Michelle, Erin and Nina for answering so quickly. I´ll try to answer your questions. We don´t know how long she´s been anemic, ´though she was diagnosed FELV+ I think about a month ago. When we took her in for emergency surgery just before new year´s eve, the vet showed

It's so true about people who have attorneys being treated differently. This is not a very significant example, but it opened my eyes to this very fact and changed the way I pursue disputes. On one of the many relocations of my youth, I actually had a job waiting for me in NY city. The company

Janine, I had just received Feline Futures raw food supplement mix in the mail when you sent that email, and started transitioning them to raw today. I had heard it helps with cystitis and struvite crystals, which patches has, as well as loose stool, which Lucy has. Patches also is having a

Janine, one question: I use slippery elm often for stomach and intestinal upsets, but have never used it for urinary tract upsets. It doesn't make the ph of the urine more basic? Patches has really high ph-- 8.5, much too basic. Thanks, Michelle

MIchelle, I honestly don't know if the SE effects the PH, but I'm pretty sure grain does. When Benjamin blocked, I got really scared about what to feed him. I really didn't like the vet-recommended food but I needed someone I respected to tell me it was OK to take the jump and feed him raw, so

Thanks for all the info. If that is true about stress making the ph higher, then that could be an explanation with Patches. Her teeth are hurting her terribly (so much she is on narcotic shots twice a day until her dental surgery on Wednesday). I thought it was just a bad coincidence that

I don't have any FeLV cats here now, but I did have a FeLv kitten for 6 months here, and I started him on raw immediately. He came in pretty sick too. He eventually went into a foster home with a positive room, and he was so much happier with company, but when here, he ate that raw like there
