Digby - Further Update

2005-05-19 Thread Marlene Chornie



 Thank you all for your words of encouragement - it 
really helps me to "stay focused" so to speak. The latest on Digby may or 
may not be good. His regular vet wanted to see him yesterday. His 
temp. was still elevated (40.5 C). I weighed him before we took him in, 
and since just this past Sun., he's lost 1.5 oz. His blood work numbers 
are:

RBC - 5.1 (Range = 6.2 - 10.6)
Hb - 81 (93 - 153)
HCT (PCV) - 0.26 (0.28 - 0.49)
Platelets - 31 (93 - 514) (The lab even checked to make sure there was no 
clot in sample tube.)
Band Neutrophil Count - 0.91 (0.0 - 0.3)
Immature Count - 0.26 (0.0 - 0.0) (This immature count refers to 
WBC's)

Some other results that his vet was not overly concerned about were:

Alkaline Phosphatase - 4 (Range = 16 - 113)
ALT - 18 (31 - 105)
Lipase - 94 (29 - 77)

 Apparently, because of his "Immature Count" and the 
Neutrophils, the lab is concerned about an actual leukemia. His vet is 
starting him on Doxycycline, because it could be Hemobart in the bone 
marrow. There's a possibility that he'll have to have a bone marrow 
aspirate which, of course, would mean putting him out briefly. The vet 
took another blood sample yesterday to check the Platelets, and it showed 
some new platelets, but they haven't completed the actual count 
yet. They're also sending a sample to the vet lab to check the 
Reticulocyte count.
 In the mean time, he had just started to turn his nose 
up at canned food, so the vet took him off the Clavamox for at least 24 
hrs. Since that time, his appetite has improved somewhat, and he's been 
taking canned A/D with extra water in it. As his vet put it - let's hope 
it's Hemobart in the marrow, and not something else. She said she never 
thought she'd find herself "praying for Hemobart"!
 Hope all this makes sense - even though I have a medical 
background, I sometimes find it hard to "wrap my mind" around all the 
information I'm being given.

Hangin' in,
Marlene

unfortunately stitch did not respond to the CCNU. it has been a little over 27 
hours and he continues to worsen. the vet attempted to remove the fluid from 
his lungs again to help him breath...unfortunately for us the mass is solid and 
he has no fluid to remove. his breathing is so bad he has to mouth breath to 
get any air...i was think of bringing him back home for one more night for my 
own selfish reasons. after rethinking this i most likely will not. he has been 
in a nasty fight for a very long time...and now its time for him to rest. We 
did everything we could and and still lymphoma wins another battle. maybe 
someday people and animals alike will benefit from new technology and

Oh Michael, I'm sorry Stich and you have lost your battle.  I know how 
much you love him and I'm sure he appreciates everything you've done for 
him.  If it wasn't for you, he would never have known the love and care 
that humans can provide.  I understand your feelings in wanting to end 
his suffering and help him to cross, it's one last gift you can give him 
that we can't give our human loved ones.  God bless you and comfort you 
in your grief.
Much love,
Nina

I am so sorry to hear about Stitch!  My apologies if I'm butting in late
in the conversation...unfortunately, I haven't been able to respond to
many posts... :(  But I just wanted to let you know that you guys are in
my thoughts...not being able to breath is a scary way to go (I've
witnessed one of my guys go, naturally, essentially as the result of
suffocation due to anemia and I've opted to assist others because I just
couldn't bear watching them get to that point).  Bless your heart for
caring so deeply for Stitch...please know that I will be thinking of you

You might try posting in church's and also in the business college's. I have had a lot of response. I have a lady coming by tomorrow to fill out an application for Tom. She is going to Virigina College for Medical Billing  coding. She knows about Felv and then my heart sank. I am not sure that I want to give Tom up. I have gotten so attached to him and he is so smart. I guess I will have to see how it goes.

Here's a nice story for you

2005-05-19 Thread Nina
Hi Everyone,
The day before yesterday I heard a racket from the birds outside that 
usually means one of my cats has a baby bird in their mouths.  I went 
racing out to check and across the street two crows were taking turns 
pecking at a fledgling on the ground.  I raced over there and rescued 
the baby, (man where those crows mad!).  I told the crows I was sorry, 
I'm sure they were just trying to feed their own baby, but this wasn't 
going to happen on my watch.  I've felt bad, (can you believe me?), 
about stealing their prey without having a way to give them something 
in return.  I can't put out food for them, it's too dangerous for the 
little birds, my neg cats that go out during the day would have used the 
opportunity like a buffet!

Well about a half hour ago, I was headed over to a neighbor's house to 
feed her yard ferals, (long story), and the crows were making a 
tremendous racket.  I thought they might still be mad at me because they 
were really agitated.  I glanced over into the yard next door and here's 
this baby crow on the lawn, I was afraid she was already dead, but when 
I hoped the fence to check it out, (my neighbors all think I'm nuts), 
she stirred and came to life.  I put her in a small tree in my front 
yard and rounded up all the cats and got them inside.  I can see her 
sitting in the tree as I type this.  I haven't seen any adult crows 
approach her yet, but they must know she's there.  She's so cute!  I 
guess I've paid them back now!  Say a little prayer she survives the 
night and however long it takes her to learn to fly properly.  The 
danger is far from over for her, I feed ferals in my front yard.  Got to 
go, she just tried to fly and is sitting in a heap at the foot of the tree!
