Re: about exposed FIP cat that needs a home/The Big Picture
I think that is up to each individual. I personally do not do late term spays where the kittens have to be euthanized as they take them out, unless there is some very good reason like the health of the mother. I do early spays.

In most, it simply means that when they run out of space, they stop taking in new animals, rather than just killing the ones that have been there the longest. Their testing policy, and euthanasia policy outside of the space issue has NO RELATION to their thinking of themselves as no kill. There are countless shelters listed on many lists as no kill, shelters that PROUDLY claim to be no kill, shelters that picket-toting hard-core activists support as no kill, yet, the vast majority of them, if you browse the list of cats they have up for adoption, all say cat has been tested negative for FELV and FIV, and they don't list a single FELV+ or FIV+ cat on their website for adoption. If you take the time to email them and ask, Do you adopt out FELV+ or FIV+ cats? most of them either choose to NOT REPLY, or reply back and say they don't. No kill? I don't think so... but the majority of people in rescue circles consider them no kill. To me, no kill means that you DON'T KILL any animals unless it is SUFFERING and BEYOND the point of recovery. Not so for most people though.

need help - cause of unknown nonregenerative anemia
Hi, I just got back from ultrasound appointment for my ayumi - her left side of top wall is very enlarged -and she has non regenerative anemia - does heart problem cause anemia? Also her BP is very low even with epogen (about 55) - she does not have FIP or cancer - or any parasite - what could it be? Her PCV is 18 now and scheduling for transfusion in two weeks if epogen does not work for her - any insight is appreciated.
Junoir
Hi Everyone I always think good new is as relevant as bad news here. I know it is going to be a roller coaster ride with Junior, but as last he is feeling better. Not quite 100% but maybe 85%. The eye is still weeping but the uri seemed to be gone or at least much better. He is still getting the Clindmycin for the URI and eye and the Gentamycin drops for his eye. This will buy me more time to talk with the vet about future options when he gets sick. I am also mixing a little pumpkin with his baby food and lysine. He stool yesterday was very solid. Yeah no poop smear on my pillow. I have to go to work now. I just want to thank everyone for their support. Sally
Re: need help - cause of unknown nonregenerative anemia
My first guess is FELV. I assume she's been tested, right? How about retested if she was previously negative?

RE: Junoir
Hi Michelle, I actually wrote this in the AM but Adelphia officially became Comcast since the last time I sent mail I had to change the outgoing settings. I figured this out by myself, no thanks to the techno I live with. I also officially became a ham radio operator. My call sign is KI4SPK. Junior is exploring the house a bit again also a sign he is better. I really was a worried. Sally Davis yay and knock on wood! Michelle In a message dated 12/14/2006 7:48:13 P.M.

Re: Junoir
Sally, Thank you for keeping us posted. I hope Junior is 110% soon and that Santa brings him lots of toys. Kiss that baby on the head for me. elizabeth In a message dated 12/14/2006 6:48:13 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Everyone I always think good new is as relevant as bad news here.

Pippin is home from her spay :)
Thank all of you for the well-wishes and prayers! Pippin is home from her spay and doing well :) She is supposed to be resting in her crate, however, I think she'd like nothing better than to be out and about by the way she is acting (pretty much her usual self.) I wonder if it's because she's on pain medication and doesn't know she needs to take it easy? At any rate, the vet said she could have a little bit to eat tonight, so I fed her a generous teaspoon of gourmet food I bought her (just in case I needed to entice her to eat.) I walked into the kitchen to get her water bowl, and by the time I walked back, it was gone! She'd inhaled it! My poor baby was very hungry. I am going to give her another portion before we go to bed. Pippin goes back to the vet tomorrow morning so they can check her incision. I'll keep you posted as to how she is recovering in the days to come. Thank you! Gina and Pippin Visit my Tigger Tales site! - Want to start your own business? Learn how on Yahoo! Small Business.
RE: Pippin is home from her spay :)
Glad to hear Pippin is doing well! It's great that your vet does a follow-up check of the incision, mine doesn't unless I think there is a problem and I always agonize about whether it looks normal or not. Good luck tomorrow. Beth
Re: Pippin is home from her spay :)
Bones was practically hanging upside down from the top of the crate after her spay, howling at the top of her lungs. I finally decided she'd get LESS exercise being out and walking around the house than she was getting CLIMBING the cage. She healed fine without the cage rest, LOL!

Re: Pippin is home from her spay :)
LOL That's about the size of it! She is currently resting contentedly outside of her crate. She would not settle down inside, so I let her out :) Gina Phaewryn - Controversy Queen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bones was practically hanging upside down from the top of the crate after her spay, howling at the top of her lungs.

Re: OT: New Rescue Website close to finished, seeking constructive criticism
Great job Kelley! Your header/logo is really darling and imparts a positive vibe. The website colors are soothing, yet upbeat. I find your site easy to navigate and that is something I would look for in a site with a subject/purpose like yours. It is easy to find the kitties available for adoption and to make a donation. You have accomplished this well. I found your volunteer information very useful. Would potential volunteers call your organization to sign up, or would they sign up on an online volunteer application? I don't see that information on your website yet. Also, what are the Wishlist feature and Tags? :) Gina Kelley Saveika [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Guys, Just like it says in the subject header, I'd like constructive criticism on this beta version of my rescue website. http://www.rescuties.org Thanks, Kelley -- Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life! http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20 Visit my Tigger Tales site! - Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
