Re: Jeremiah Please add to the CLS :(
I am so sorry. And so grateful they had you and people like you caring for them and loving them. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

I just got off the phone with Whitey's vet. Good news and what could potentially be really bad news. Good news first. First of all, his Thyroid is normal, which Dr. Dolen says defies logic. He wants to retest in a few weeks. All his other major organ functions were normal...kidneys, liver, thyroid, everything was good. His WBC were elevated (of course, due probably to the severe ear infection). He is chronically anemic (RBC was 25ish). The thing that concerned Dr. Dolen the most was his elevated Globulin and Albumin levels. His globulin was 8.4, when he says 3ish is the normal range, so he said that indicated a chronic severe infection. He's getting the lab to run an FIP titer on the blood sample they have from the other tests, so we'll know something about that in about a week. He says either the ear infection was so horribly bad that its a miracle he's still alive (to have caused such an elevated globulin level) or he has FIP. I'm certainly hoping its the ear infection, something we can work with. Any of you guys have experience with FIP? I understand its deadly, usually within weeks of symptoms, but I was wondering about the human aspect of it..what have YOU guys experienced with it? He recommended high protein kitten food for him right now. He said the more protein the better...canned tuna, chicken, whatever has the most protein. I'm going to go by a local natural pet food store on my way home from work that carries premium kitten foods. Also interested if any of you know what the absolute highest nutritional content wet food would be? I'm thinking Innova kitten food in a can, maybe wellness kitten food? Anyway, more updates when I get them. Michael Email and AIM finally together. You've gotta check out free AOL Mail!

Re: Lance/Ember
Ember is five and a half. She hasn't gotten any vax except for her first rabies (I think) since I adopted her when she was seven months old.

Re: protein % for some canned and dry foods
Check out www.catinfo.org for the best canned cat foods canned foods are not nearly as high in protein as dry. EVO Innova dry and Wellness Core are both 50% protein. The following are all crude protein minimums: Solid Gold, tuna 13.84%! By Nature Organics, no grains, 10% min protein. Wellness, grain free, 10% Evangers 10% Instinct, duck, 9% Petguard Lite 8.5% And why, you might ask, do I know these %ages? I have all these here because we have/had cats with food allergies...constantly trying to find one that works! Laurie
