2005-10-07 Thread TenHouseCats
the thing is, you'd have to have various tests run to find OUT if it
worked, especially when dealing with coccidia and giardia, which are
notorious for "hiding" in stool samples i'd  check out
someplace like www.holisticat.com and see if they have any
suggestions. oh, gloria? got any ideas?

RE: Mystery of Ghandi

2005-10-07 Thread Hideyo Yamamoto








Actually, the temp was normal at the vet
which was two days ago.. he seemed warm this morning and hiding so I took the
temp – and was 102.5 or something – 

Hon, he has not been wormed for anything at
this time, I am so afraid to give him anything since I was not sure how he was
doing internally at all – 

 

The only thing was the albumin (?) (a
potion of total protein) was lower, then, globlin was normal) – the vet
said that lowness of albmin was due to dietary since he was really not eating
cat food –

Since two days ago, he started eating A/D
cat food, but only from my finger.. he does not want to eat off the plate…but
it’s a good step.. and he ate some this morning, too.. I just don’t
know what’s going on.

So, Ghandi's symptoms are that he's lethargic/not
energetic, has a slight temp at times and is not eating enough?  No
diarrhea, no vomiting.  Hmmm.  That doesn't sound like
Giardia/Coccidia to me, but then, I'm no vet.  Has he been wormed for the
regular type of parasites?  I've never heard of worms causing a temp, but
then a temp of 102 - 103, is not really that high.  Temps can be higher
under stress, and sometimes even just taking a temp can be stressful.  If
this was done in the vet's office, no doubt the little guy was feeling stressed
at the time.

you ruled them out?  And if so, how?  I know that that they are hard
to detect and if you haven't used the proper abx.  What did we all decide
was safest, not Met/Flagil, Albon, (and Karen's suggestion of Baycox), for
Coccidia and what for Giardia?  How do you know that this is not what
Ghandi is suffering from?  Jasmine said something about his GI track,
didn't she?  Does Ghandi have diarrhea, or soft grayish stools?  Is
he vomiting?  Forgive me if you've already answered these questions.

Hi, everyone – I took Ghandi to a vet – and there
was really nothing wrong with him according to the blood work –
everything was pretty much normal – but he ran low graded fever on and
off (between 102 and 103) – today, he has slight fever, and he is hiding
again - when it happens, I always get afraid of FIP – as one of the
common symptoms is persistent fever with unknown cause – but his blood
work did not reflect that he has anything like FIP at all – he still got
stuffy nose and eye discharge –do you have any idea..








CHICAGO- SPECIAL KITTENS NEED SPECIAL FOSTER HOME ASAP

2005-10-07 Thread MacKenzie, Kerry N.
I'm forwarding this from Cindy, a counsellor at Paws in Chicago  (I've
offered to take them from November 1, but Cindy rightly is holding out
for a home where they have the run of the place.) They sound adorable.
Please cross-post! 
Kerry


I KNOW, ANOTHER DESPERATE PLEA FOR HELP COMING YOUR WAY.  BUT PLEASE
READ IT, AND PASS ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.  THANK YOU.

POWDER and LICORICE are two six month old brothers who recently tested
postive for Feline Leukemia.  They can no longer romp with their
playmates, and until a foster home is found, they are climbing the sides
of their cage in frustration.  Powder is an all white boy with taupe
colored eyes.  He has given head butts since he was a tiny baby; one of
those very social, easy going boys who looks at everything in life as
fun, fun, fun.  Licorice, his all black brother, is a scrappy little guy
who has always reminded me of a lanky puppy with big ears.  Both boys,
when given the chance, are happy to "nurse" on something soft,
especially when they've been provided a lap in which to cuddle.

I have fostered these kittens for PAWS since they were 6 weeks old.
I've treasured every moment of my time with them.  We will continue to
test them, in hopes that a future test result is negative.  But if not,
I can only try to find a loving home for them for whatever remaining
time they have.  I do not want Powder and Licorice to be forced to move
from place to place to place.  For some cats, this may be the route they
have to take in order to find their forever home.  These babies may not
have the luxury of that kind of time.  Please, these precious creatures
need a special person to love them.  And loving them is so easy. 

Please contact me for more information.  THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Patti,
 
I know how you are feeling, but try not to desolve into guilt.  What 
you MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER when doing rescues, is that each animal is a complete 
soul unto itself.  While they are at the mercy of humans, they are not 
human infants.  Nature has given them brains, intelligence and a will all 
their own.  They ultimately make their own choices, and that is the way it 
is supposed to be.
 
Keep putting out the food.  Don't try to trap her againjust treat 
the barn like its her home, if she chooses to, she will come back and make it a 
home.  It could just take time.
 
A "feral" showed up at my parents home 2years ago.  They've been 
adopted by two cats that have moved from their acutal home down the street and 
my parents feed, water, vet and house the twins- Tom & Jerry and have 
been for years (they are both indoor/outdoor cats- even tho  Dad would 
rather they stay IN.)  Anyway, about 1.5 yrs ago (shorting after 
the other cat they were feeding HissPuff - a true feral who chose their company, 
but never their touch had died -they started seeing an orange blob showin 
through the woods, just sitting looking at the house.  Occasionally we 
would hear a "meow"...when Dad answered it, the cat would answer back.  A 
few months later, he came closer and eventually was eating at the front stoop 
with T & J...or rather I should say, when they weren't around.  He 
would fly whenever he saw Mom & Dad.  A few more months passed and he'd 
stay in the bushes while the bowls were filled, and cal! l to them.  His 
face was always crusted over, eyes looked like they bleed and the other cats 
would beat the sh*t out of him whenever they got the chance.  Through the 
winter, Mom couldn't stand it as he would lay curled up and shivering against 
the basement windows, but wouldn't come near anyone.  She decided to trap 
him and take him to the shelter, figuring death was better than suffering the 
elements.  She rented the trap for 10 days.  "Tabby" never showed his 
tail once.  She returned the trap, he came back, she rented it again for 
five days, again, Tabby never showed, but Tom and Jerry continued to take turns 
spending the night in it!...(idiots!)  I told Mom that he had chosen his 
own destiny, and if that was his decision, she had to respect it.  She 
agreed.  (Now, as I don't live at home, I had only seen Tabby 2 or 3 xs 
myself and everything I knew of him was relayed by Mom & Dad.  Well my 
Quintapus died, and since Mom is! worried about becoming the "cat lady" of the 
neighborhood (she really isn't a cat person at all), I made a point of meeting 
Tabby face to face.  I didn't try to touch him, but would sweet talk him 
from a distance, and he would rub against a rock or tree, roll over and 
stretch...answer back with his soft "meow".  I decided he wasn't feral, 
just scared and told Dad so.  (My father...the Cat Whispherer!  Dad 
puts the cats out-at their choice -in the early evening, tells them to "be back 
by Ten!" and they are...go figure)  I told Dad if he could work with Tabby, 
I'd take him.  All my father ever needed in life was a Mission!  SO, 
there sits my father for hours on end each evening after locking the twin 
terrors up, sweet talking the orange, puss-y, weeping bag of hair.  Three 
months later, Tabby-Bear is basically a house cat now.  His eyes look 
beautiful, Dad has threatened the twin-terrors with a supersoaker whenever they 
consider beating up! on him.  And no, he won't become my cat, he's 
Dad's.  
 
You just have to let them choose their own liveslike grown children, 
perhaps. You'll loose a few, but that's not on you.  You'll win a 
few, and really you can't take credit for that either...its THEIR choice. 
 Hang in there.

Tamara,
Hello?  Here's another great story for your book!  These have got to
get bound and published.  Yes, I'm riding you again!  If I/we
appreciate these stories there are others out there that would benefit
too.  I still think they should be made into a children's book, or at
least young adults.  If I were a teacher, they'd be required reading in
my class.  You have an opportunity to mold the future here.  If I lived
close enough to you, I'd be over there with a stick poking you until
you got these out!

I wrote to Patti off-list telling her just about the same thing about
Charity and her choices.  One other thing I would add to Patti, besides
not trying to trap her again, is to put the food right outside the barn
door.  She is definitely going to be leery about going in that barn
again!  Make it easy on her to feel more comfortable at first and put
the food somewhere close, but not in, of course if it's raining
buckets, you'll have to stick it inside, but make sure it's right
inside.  It's wonderful that you've gotten the support of your new
community, but I would be very surprised if Charity got into any of
those traps!  You're likely to catch somebody else though, and that
would be wonderful.  That would make all of this worthwhile, if you
could help another kitty (or two!) in need.

Re: Felvtalk Digest, Vol 9, Issue 32-Prayers for all your babies

2005-10-07 Thread DwinnsNM



Hello All:
 
I have not had time to check in but, our Stinky cat is not doing 
well.  Her CBC's on Tuesday were good- no anemia but, on Wed. she stopped 
eating and is so weak.  I give her liquid nutrition but, I think our Stinky 
is getting too tired.
To all of you with lost, hurting kitties or to those of you whose kitties 
have gone on, all our prayers are with you.  
 
Stinky's Mom and Dad

Patti,
 
I know how you are feeling, but try not to desolve into guilt.  What you MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER when doing rescues, is that each animal is a complete soul unto itself.  While they are at the mercy of humans, they are not human infants.  Nature has given them brains, intelligence and a will all their own.  They ultimately make their own choices, and that is the way it is supposed to be.
 
Keep putting out the food.  Don't try to trap her againjust treat the barn like its her home, if she chooses to, she will come back and make it a home.  It could just take time.
 
A "feral" showed up at my parents home 2years ago.  They've been adopted by two cats that have moved from their acutal home down the street and my parents feed, water, vet and house the twins- Tom & Jerry and have been for years (they are both indoor/outdoor cats- even tho  Dad would rather they stay IN.)  Anyway, about 1.5 yrs ago (shorting after the other cat they were feeding HissPuff - a true feral who chose their company, but never their touch had died -they started seeing an orange blob showin through the woods, just sitting looking at the house.  Occasionally we would hear a "meow"...when Dad answered it, the cat would answer back.  A few months later, he came closer and eventually was eating at the front stoop with T & J...or rather I should say, when they weren't around.  He would fly whenever he saw Mom & Dad.  A few more months passed and he'd stay in the bushes while the bowls were filled, and call to
 them.  His face was always crusted over, eyes looked like they bleed and the other cats would beat the sh*t out of him whenever they got the chance.  Through the winter, Mom couldn't stand it as he would lay curled up and shivering against the basement windows, but wouldn't come near anyone.  She decided to trap him and take him to the shelter, figuring death was better than suffering the elements.  She rented the trap for 10 days.  "Tabby" never showed his tail once.  She returned the trap, he came back, she rented it again for five days, again, Tabby never showed, but Tom and Jerry continued to take turns spending the night in it!...(idiots!)  I told Mom that he had chosen his own destiny, and if that was his decision, she had to respect it.  She agreed.  (Now, as I don't live at home, I had only seen Tabby 2 or 3 xs myself and everything I knew of him was relayed by Mom & Dad.  Well my Quintapus died, and since Mom is worried
 about becoming the "cat lady" of the neighborhood (she really isn't a cat person at all), I made a point of meeting Tabby face to face.  I didn't try to touch him, but would sweet talk him from a distance, and he would rub against a rock or tree, roll over and stretch...answer back with his soft "meow".  I decided he wasn't feral, just scared and told Dad so.  (My father...the Cat Whispherer!  Dad puts the cats out-at their choice -in the early evening, tells them to "be back by Ten!" and they are...go figure)  I told Dad if he could work with Tabby, I'd take him.  All my father ever needed in life was a Mission!  SO, there sits my father for hours on end each evening after locking the twin terrors up, sweet talking the orange, puss-y, weeping bag of hair.  Three months later, Tabby-Bear is basically a house cat now.  His eyes look beautiful, Dad has threatened the twin-terrors with a supersoaker whenever they consider beating up on
 him.  And no, he won't become my cat, he's Dad's.  
 
You just have to let them choose their own liveslike grown children, perhaps. You'll loose a few, but that's not on you.  You'll win a few, and really you can't take credit for that either...its THEIR choice.  Hang in there.

Dear List,
I am feeling VERY downtrodden & blue.  I don't know what to do, where to turn.  I FEEL SO OVER-RIDDEN w/ guilt, I can't stop crying.
 
It's a long story, I will try to condense.
Kerry is a little familiar as she is also on the Four Paws Feral list, and also I have mentioned "Charity's" store on this list. (Although she is FELV-)
 
Early in July, some cruel, a**hole dumped a box under my neighbor's bushes which contained a young Mama & 2, 5 week old kittens.
Needless to say, since the box was NOT secure, Mama escaped, (apparently to try to find her way "HOME" to the low-lifes that dumped her! I can not, nor will I EVER be able to understand the love & dedication an innocent baby will demonstrate toward the sc*m that abused her!!!)
 
Anyway, I took the babies in, since they needed to be bottle fed & would have died if left to the elements, or predators.
Several days later, I noticed the poor, bedraggled Mama had made it back, looking for her babies, & was hanging out down by the barn.
I immediately got a Hav-A-Heart trap, and had her in less than 10 minutes.
She was dirty, starved...broke my heart.
But, it did not

One more thing ~~~
It's only 6:15 AM here in the soggy, pouring down rain, edge of a good 'ole 
N'easter hitting us FULL BLAST, BUT
 
Just heard from one of my very best friends here with whom I network & 
do rescue with, and she's been  busy during the last 24 hours, getting in 
touch w/ "her" contacts, and has managed to "borrow" some 1/2 dozen or so 
"Hav-A-Heart" Traps, and since the weather is s rotten, and this area is 
rural w/ LOTS of ground to cover, she has assembled a group of volunteers to 
"set" the traps at first light & also has rounded up some other wonderful 
volunteers, not concerned about getting "soaked to the bone", so hopefully we 
can canvas a large area, searching, providing make-shift shelters w/ tarps, 
leaving food & doing the "Hansel & Gretel" thing...leaving a trail back 
to "Home", mine!!!
 
PLEASE, keep this wonderful group of volunteers in your prayers, wish us 
LUCK & PRAY NO ONE CATCHES PNEUMONIA
 
Also, the little Mom & Pop Convenience Store in town is brewing 
thermoses of coffee & Hot Cocoa for the Search Team.
Talk about a small town pulling together.
Amazing, when you stop & consider up until yesterday, 1/2 these people 
didn't even know what a "feral" cat was!!!
 
Not only has "Charity" found a home, I have too!
I am PROUD to be part of such a small, close knit community!
Will keep you all posted as events transpire!
 
I realize we all do not "share" the same beliefs concerning "religion, 
normally it's a "HOT" topic, much TOO debated to discuss, but PLEASE, put all 
the controversy aside, and put your faith together in whatever it takes to find 
Charity, safe & sound!!!
 
With Love,
Patti

My "Charity" ~ You've ALL Given Me Hope

2005-10-07 Thread PEC2851



To ALL My Wonderful List Friends,
 
First off, I want to thank each & everyone of you for your 
heart~touching replies concerning my recent turn of evidents with my darling 
Charity. I can not thank each & everyone of you enough for the love, 
understanding & compassion that was conveyed to me by your loving 
responses.  It has given me a "glimmer" of hope ~ hope that my dear girl 
knows that I love her, despite her own desire to be "free" again. Also, that she 
KNOWS that she is ALWAYS welcome here, since this IS her home.  And now, I 
have come to terms with her wishes & I respect them (I mean, after all, 
this WAS the life she was accustomed to & I 
did see such sadness in her eyes when I had her confined. It was evident that 
she longed for freedom. ( I mean, it is like taking a WILD animal and confining 
it to a "cage" in a zoo or similar situation.) Definitely NOT what they are 
accustomed to because they do not know any other "way of 
life".
 
From the beginning, I just had a "gut" feeling that I would not 
be able to "convince" her that this way of life would be better I KNEW 
she would never adjust or be "happy" as a house cat, it was the look in her 
soulful eyes.
 
I thank God that I WAS able to trap her so she's been 
spayed, tested and vaccinated.
No more babies, she's safe from disease.  My only regret 
is that the clinic that spayed her did NOT have the Felv 
vaccine.
I had talked to my regular vet, and that was next on the 
agenda, to bring her in for the Felv series, just so, as in this case scenario, 
"IF" she escaped, she'd be protected from that also.  (On a side note, "IF" 
I am able to trap her again, I do intend to follow thru w/ 
that).
 
I PRAY for her safe return. I am hoping that after her 
"initial" adventure at being free once again that she will realize that this 
IS HER HOME & I WILL NOT PUT ANY FURTHER RESTRAINTS ON HER. I 
will respect her wish to come & go, and PRAY faithfully for her safety on 
her journeys & that each journey WILL assure her safe return 
home.
 
I am leaving the barn door slightly ajar so she is able to make 
her way in. I place fresh food & water there several times daily. I am still 
adding a drop or so of "Rescue Remedy', along w/ crushing the homeopathic 
tablets containing passion flower, valerian, hops & skullcap. (Perhaps it's 
my 'desire" to NEED to believe that this had helped her adjust to her situation 
previously, but w/ all my heart, I DO believe it did make a differance in her 
overall demeanor).  I have also placed her bed (sprayed lightly w/ Feliway) 
in close proximity to the door ~ giving her the "ease" of a smooth, quick exit 
if ahe feels threatened at the least "little" thing(s)/
 
I am hoping and praying that I have taken every neccessay 
precaution to ensure my little angel that I am 100%"in love" with her, despite 
her very attempt to convince me otherwise.
She is feisty, temperamental, independent, self~sufficient, a 
survivor. Maybe it's because we share so many of the same characteristics ~ 
LOL!!!
 
Another VERY important thing that I thank my lucky stars for 
& praise my God, is that her babies are fine.
A miracle in itself. 
Ready for 
neutering~NEXT  STEP ..
ADOPTION
PLEASE PRAY I FIND THEM GREAT 
HOMES   
 
Well,almost dawm here in 
the NorthEast.   
Time to start new search.
I shudder, it is 
raining,in buckets!   Wouldn't it be great to find my baby 
curled up in her bed  
 
Once again, my dear friends, you ALL are the "ABSOLUTE" best 
group for support  ~ THANK YOU  & I LOVE YOU 
ALL!
YOU ALWAYS PROVIDE HOPE &,MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT EVEN 
WHEN IT SEEMS ALL IS LOST & I'M ABOUT READY TO  GIVE 
UP!
FOR ALL YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, I CAN NOT ADEQUATELY EXPRESS MY LOVE 
& GRATITUDE!!!
I REALLY DON"T THINK I"D EVER BE ABLE TO FIND SUCH A CLOSE KNIT 
& LOVING GROUP!!!YOU'RE THE BEST!
I LOVE EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU!!
(And, no, I am NOT shouting, but exhilarated & overwhelmed 
by your kindnesss...)
 
A very "Hopeful",
(Thanks to ALL of you!!!)
