I saw that instrument on a search for giving cats pills Dorothy. I agree about
the liquid stuff. It can't help but stick in their throats and drive them nuts
if they hate it. I wish they made every medication in a trans dermal form. My
old guy enjoys having his thyroid medication massaged
I have easy access to those Karen. Will give it a try.

Just wanted to add something that might help everyone with pill issues, that
Well my BooBoo is at the vets. There is a different guy on today but our
regular vet called while Boo was being examined, apparently worried about him
and giving advice to this new fellow. He has to have more fluid removed but
this vet said his heart beat was very audible today so it isn't as
Bob sounds like a wonderful husband for an animal lover/rescuer! Lucky BooBoo
to have you both...and THREE docs!
I almost hate to ask this...could this be FIP? Has anyone mentioned that?
My friend's cat had FIP and she had to take him about once a week to have his
lungs drained.
Pls keep us
Yes Laurie, Bob is a wonderful guy. He's a pretty easy going person but has
shed tears over this too. I don't even know about FIP. All I know is they did
a blood test first time they saw him and said he was positive for feline
leukemia. I'll read up on it. The vets told us this morning that
I found an article about FIP. Yep, it sounds like he has that too. At this
point Laurie I doubt it matters. The vet said we are giving him palliative
care until we can do no more to help him. The other 19 year old and BooBoo
have no contact with one another. Lennie lives downstairs and has
ok. I'd just recommend handwashing when leaving BooBoo.
I hope it isn't FIP.

Blessings to you for caring for the little ones. Others on the list
can give you better advise than I but I am going to put my two cents
in. I try to give colostrum to any stressed cat that I feed..my

El, I am too new to this to give advice but I am sure you will be receiving
many replies shortly by many knowledgeable people on this group. It sounds to
me that you are doing every thing possible for these animals that can benefit
them. The fact that your girl is around 8 years old may be
Hi El,
Thank you for taking in those severely neglected cats. I cannot
believe (though that's a figure of speech) that the FeLV+ girl was in
such horrible shape, coming from a shelter. You have given all of
them a new lease on life. I'm always grateful that there are people
like you out
The new one today said we'd talk about it again after we got his cytology
report back Marylyn. His primary care giver was the one who told my husband it
would do him no good now. We aren't giving up on anything where this boy is
concerned. This has just been a bad day for me. They took
It is so hard. I hope you have the luck I have had with Dixie. If
you need to just vent and can figure out how to email me directly,
please feel free. Again, don't let your frustration, anger, grief and
all those other very understandable emotions, emotions we have all
felt, cheat you
Thanl you Marylyn. I sometimes feel I am being a big whiner here. So many of
you have dealt with far worse issues than I have and I do need to give my self
a reality check and just get on with the living part. At this very point in
time I simply cannot envision not having him around. I know
We start dying the minute we are born. I learned this very hard
lesson from the Royal Princess Kitty Katt and Dixie re-enforces it.
Maybe it is your turn to learn. Cats are wonderful teachers.

it sounds awful until you think about it, but sometimes the very best thing
we can do--for anyone and anything--is just love them to death. may be
hours, may be decades. but pure love never hurts the giver or the recipient.
as marylyn says, they come to teach us what we need to learn--and they
