Check with a holistic vet or an alternative vet about drops to give before and
after the procedure to help bring him out. You may want to see if laser dental
work is available in your area. It is a lot faster and safer (or so I am
told).
I think they do all run IV's during surgery and most before but some
don't after, I always ask my vet to make sure it's done.

PS - If your cat is a sweetie, then they will not need to give anything else
prior to ISO.
And, when I say a sweetie, I mean as long as he/ can be handled then they
will give the ISO as soon as he is on the table!
Just make sure they know, and are honest w/ you!

My understanding is that ketamine is not good either...

Yes, you are right about ketamine. (Your reply jogged my memory - THANK

Our clinic DID use ketamine, in a combo w/ other injectables..Xylozine

After so much time keeping an eye on the list, and writing only on

My cat Rompi, probably, has a tumor near his stomach.
It is not certain yet, the precise assessment is still to be done,
tomorrow I'll take him in for an exam
My 9 month old kitten (Mylo) was recently diagnosed with Feline Leukemia. I
was devastated. The vet said he seems severe and doesn't have much longer.
His symptoms are diahrea (for weeks now), pale nose/gums (anemia),
dehydrated, low energy, doesn't play anymore, and he's very skinny. I hear

Thank you Elizabeth, in effects, notwithstanding Acemannan and
Carrisyn are sometimes used as synonyms, I am beginning to suspect
that they aren't actually synonyms. I will stick with Acemannan.

Just came home from the vet. Yesterday morning, I noticed that Jilly, my 6
month old foster's stomach had bloated out. Looeds like she had swallowed a
water balloon. They said it was all fluid, but couldn't get a sample. They
tried and tried. Took x-ray, used a sonogram probe. All fluid. She is
Yes! I got a call from Carrington yesterday that they were shipping it out
to their distributers yesterday and today. So you should be able to get it.
Main place that sells it to distributers is VPL (veterinary products laborat
ories, I think). If you have trouble finding it, let me know.
I would definitely start her on immuno-regulin and sub-cutaneous fluids
(your vet can show you how). People have had success with acemanan as well. The
one thing is that sometimes positive cats get things like lymphoma (which would
need chemo and/or steroids) or FIP (not curable but
Lucy has it with other symptoms, and either has FIP or toxoplasmosis or
something like that. Without looking at the fluid there is no way for them to
say
it is definitely FIP, and if it is FIP she needs steroids more than
antibiotics to control the symptoms. I would get her to a bigger
Do get her to a bigger vet hospital. FIP is very hard to diagnose and really
cannot be diagnosed except by necropsy after an animal has died. Bloodwork and
analysis of the fluid can tell you if findings are consistent with FIP but
there are other curable causes of the distended belly. Hope

Thank you for your email. I'm not sure how to find out what is causing the

underlying cause. Mylo has had 3 blood tests done in

sickness could be. He just said that Mylo tested positive for FeLV and there

they were able to get a fluid sample:
Please ask them what her feline coronavirus (FCoV) titer was. Ask them what
her albumin:globulin (A:G) ratio was in her blood plasma. In FIP, AGP levels
are usually greater than 1500
I just realized I posted the AGP normals twice and didn't post the a:g ratios at
all... here's that info:
In FIP the globulin concentration in serum or plasma is raised to over 40g/l.
Consequently the A:G is usually lowered. An A:G of 0.4 indicates FIP is quite
likely, provided that globulins
