Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's checkup today - bad results

[Amani Oakley]

Yes - it's the smear I was asking about. If you let me know what they found 
when they looked at the smear, it will probably say whether or not the 
platelets were visually confirmed to be low or whether there was blood clotting.

I am thrilled Bogey liked the KFC. I had one cat, a few years ago, with cancer, 
and I kept her eating long after the vets felt she should have survived, by 
feeding her KFC. My husband and I certainly had our fill of KFC, since we had 
to eat it something like 3 times a week. Up here in Canada, we have Swiss 
Chalet, which also seems to work wonders on my babies.

One day at a time, Sherri. She's eating and playing. Let's keep our fingers 
crossed that the Doxycycline will help.

Armani,
I tried the KFC today, she loved it. So does her mom so that was dinner for 
both of us. 

The only other information on the results print out they give me is a "smear" 
on the bottom. Says "Fluorescence" under it. Mentions rbc, retics, plt, rbc 
flags and wbc,in a legend of sorts. I am sure that means something.

Bogey is actually playing with her Qtips this evening. She brought one in to 
show me. So she is still having fun. Today has been a good day.

Re: [Felvtalk] RIP little girl Coco

[Ardy Robertson]

 

Hi Kelley,

I’m so sorry for the loss of little Coco. When my Tigger babe lost his battle 
at 5-1/2 years, I was devastated. Someone from this FeLV chat group sent me 
this poem called Lend Me A Kitten, and I still read it a lot. It give me a 
little solace……I hope it helps you and all the others who have given such good 
care and still had to go through the loss.

 

Lend Me a Kitten

I will lend you a kitten for awhile, God said.
For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.
But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief
You'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below I want this kitten to learn.

I've looked the whole world over, in search of teachers true.
And from the folks that crowd life's land, I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again?

I fancied that I heard them say 'Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done'.
For all the joys this kitten brings, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.

But should you call him back, much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love we've managed your wishes to achieve,
Then in memory of him whom we loved, please help us while we grieve.
When our cherished kitten departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul for us to love all his life.

Lost my little Coco last night.  It was sudden - she was playing and running 
around before I went to sleep and when I woke up she was gone.  Probably better 
for her that way as she didn't have to suffer through a long protracted 
illness.  Sure does hurt though.

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey...

[Sherri Godschalk]

Thank you Robert. It is a roller coaster of emotions. I sleep very well
when I hear her playing with her wad of paper in the hall in the middle of
the night.

Cute story about the your cats and the mystery leaves. :-) I have decided
that cat toys are a complete waste of money anymore. A cotton ball, qtip,
bubble wrap, feather earring all are more interesting to Bogey.

I am starting to see that her good days are not as good as they were a
month ago. No butt wiggles or jumping out to surprise the pups. She is
just a tiny little 6.2 pound cat and had such a big personality. She does
seem content like you described. Purrs and guards the bird feeders through
the window from her condo. She probably sick of all the attention I give
her, especially at pill time. I do hope she can bounce back.

This is such a terrible, awful disease. Thanks for tips on what your cat
will eat. I am writing them all down so I can try them with Bogey. She had
her first KFC today. She wanted more but I thought I better offer it to
her in small meals.

I agree about the blood tests. It just really affirmed what I already
knew. 

Thank you for writing!

I've thought my little guy was on his way out too many times to count

him for his eyes and manages to stay out of reach of his Heavier, insane

Ardy,
She has been on the prednisolone since August 1. The Stanzolol about 2 
weeks

after that. Today was first day of Doxy. Thanks for the well wishes.
I think we are going to need them.

Hi Sherri

Yes, some of the results are worse (especially the platelets) but the 
retic count is actually up a bit. I hope that adding the Doxycycline 
might help.
The haematocrit and red cells are down, but nowhere as low as I have 
seen them in cats with FeLV, so there is a lot of cushion still 
there. The best piece of news is that she is eating and drinking and 
gaining

weight.

Just a bit of information regarding Bogey?s last lab results. She had 
been sleeping a lot and not as active so this really didn?t surprise 
me.

Everything has taken a down turn.
