My Mickey was fitted with a hood after being treated for a hematoma. Well, Mickey's feral, and no self-respecting feral is gonna put up with that. He quickly set about pushing his paws through the hood, so it turned into a skirt. Because he's feral I couldn't remove it without causing him and his

Too funny. Made me laugh! Frankie wore his E collar like a cape until he removed it! I had pushed it back so he could use his whiskers. Black cat, blue cape. Pretty cute if you aren't Frankie! L - Original Message - From: MacKenzie, Kerry N. To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org

Hi all, A few years ago some of you older members may remember Ling. As he is no longer with me as he had passed on to the bridge. For you newer members. I took in a male Siamese that was 19 yrs old that had the same thing. All of his claws on his front paws were in the flesh. So he the

Hello, I first joined this group a year ago in regards to a double-positive Mom and her kittens. All kittens cleared FIV, remained + for Leuk. Only the two who stayed together remain, and one has crashed hard. I am not his caretaker but what I know is, he had a dental a little over a month ago

My prayers are with you. When Junior crashed that was it his body was shutting down that fast. He was having breathing issues and possible congestive heart failure. He did have a murmur. I do not think he was in pain. Sally On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 2:15 PM, Heather Wienker [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm so sorry to read that Hobbs is crashing. I haven't had to deal with that yet. What you are describing sounds a lot like an acute pancreatitis attack. Pancreatitis can only be dx by a special blood test fPLI done at TAMU or maybe by an ultra sound if it is done by an experienced person.

Heather, I have pulled 2 back that were very sick. I later lost one though when she got so bad I felt her quality of life was so poor that I should let her go. Only the cat's mom can really make the decision. Is the cat easy to medicate? stressed by the vet? etc these kinds of
