Dear Friends,
Julie
You are going through a rough time and my prayers are with you. Pleased that
Eduardo came back so lets hope he gets stronger from here. So sorry about Mandy
not doing so well.
Also good thought going out to all furbabies who are doing doing so well at the
moment and also to protect the

well.
I do have a question that I need to ask, because it's been bothering
me.
So, have ANY of the vets ruled out or tested her for Auto-Immune
HemolyticAnemia??
It is NOT common in cats, but it does occur many case have been
It's actually not that uncommon when cancers are present, and sometimes
happens even without cancers (someone on this list -- Susan?-- had a cat who
recovered from it). That is the main reason I always suggest strong
steroids (dex and depo shots) for severe anemia. That is the treatment for
Michelle,
Yes, Bear was on steroids, but he was also started on chemotherapy almost
immediately after diagnosis.
I don't know if treatment is different in dogs, but despite his PCP, the
oncologist believed his only chance was to start chemo right away. ( I still
"question" whether it was the
Patti,
These decisions are really hard. I usually op to try
treatments too, unless at the start they just sound so invasive that they will
ruin current quality of life. Chemo can sometimes make them feel a lot
better. That was certainly the case for Simon while it lasted. With my dog
Michelle,
I've been struggling with the 'lack of ultimate responsibility' issue
myself these days. Your response to Patti expresses it so clearly and
succinctly. Thank you. Every one that commits themselves to the care
of those with special needs faces it eventually. Guilt, although

Beautifully expressed, both of you.

Michele,
I have not been on the computer for a few days, but I hope you got some
help with Rascal. Being 2 and a half years old is at least in his
favor. I hope things will turn around for him.

Julie,
I'm sorry to read this. At least Eduardo is home and you don't have to
worry about him. Maybe the specialist will have some ideas. Enjoy the
time you have with Mandy and Wink.

Thank you for posting Tad. I tried to reply but I think it got lost.
I always worry about what would happen to my own animals if something
happened to me... I would probably have more than I do now if it
wasn't for that worry. I'm so glad someone helped a fellow rescuer.

There are ways of providing for them in your will and by way of trusts. It
takes a creative lawyer but it can be done. There are a number of books on
the subject too. www.Amazon.com has some of them. I, too, worry about
mine. I watch how people don't keep their word to loved ones about care
No problem. Now I can't remember where I got the original post from to
tell 'them'...

Michelle,
One reason I opted to go with the chemo (other than loving Bear as one
would a child,) is the oncologist DID share success stories, but as I stated
before, with small breed dogs - I learned cockers are most resilient to chemo

That was a very thoughtful post from Michelle.

Vet will recommend treatment options; another vet
