Re: Peanut/Special Needs List/Update
Thanks Belinda all of you for your support prayers. The vet called Peanut's liver values were all elevated. Her bilirubin white count were thru the roof. He thinks that cholangiohepatitis is the most likely culprit. I took her to the vet for 3 days of supportive care treatment (IV fluids, antibiotics, syringe feeding). I hated to do it...I don't want her to feel scared, but I felt it was her only chance. I really felt that she wouldn'thave survived the night if I had kept her here. It was really hard to leave, but I'm hoping this will turn her around. I had to go to work after that there were no phone calls from them since I dropped her off, so I'm considering that to be good news. They would have called me if she would have needed to be moved to a 24 hour vet for overnite care, so she was apparently medically stable enough to go the night there.

Re: Peanut/Special Needs List
Leslie, I can't tell you how heartened I am to hear your story about Goliath. Even Peanut's ears were yellow when I dropped her off...I was pretty scared, but I'm starting to calm down now. Her bilirubin was 10.8 I guess normal is .1 to .4. Her white cell count was a whopping 44,000 normal is 16,000. I will definitely ask about the SamE. I think we got a good omen as we were leaving the vet. My hubby had met me there after he got off of work as we were turning on to the road from the vet, I saw him gesturing at the SUV in front of us. I look where he's pointing this SUV's licence plate says ME A PNUT. Now, what are the odds of coming out of the vet clinic seeing your cat's name on someone's license plate?

Re: Ideas to make the car less stressful?
Try Feliway and a concentrated catnip + Rescue Remedy (for both of you) and cover the carrier but be careful not to let the cat get too hot. Put a pillow or towel inside the carrier so the cat does not bounce around as much. The Royal Princess Kitty Katt hid herself under her towels and overheated big time. Luckily we were on the way to the vet's and I had ice with me. It was a cool day too--low 70's.

Re: Ideas to make the car less stressful?
There are some nice carriers made for dogs that are soft sided (metal covered with a fabric). I got one for the Royal Princess Kitty Katt. She absolutely hated the plastic carriers. They are sort of awkward to carry (no handles) but narrow enough you can reach around.

Re: Traveling with a cat
Dixie travels with me all the time (never camping though). Be very careful that no one lets her out. Cats are sneaky and they are bear bait.

That is so neat that your friends have their cats harness/leash trained. I do remember going camping once and a couple had their cat outside on a leash. I wish I could train Katie. I will let her out of the cage some. It is suppose to get pretty cool Friday night and Katie never goes outside at home. This may be a stupid question but do you think she could get sick from the cold weather? Where we are going camping there is no electrical hookups.

Thank you so very much for your response...I apologize if it was not clear, but Dharma has been diagnosed with FIP a couple of weeks ago, as lump on her neck sounds as threatening as it can be, right now, treatment for her FIP has to come first. I lost two of my babies Naomi and Peter in August and have seen how quickly this disease progresses. And FIP is stress reduced disease, and I have to minimize the stress I am giving it to her, which include a trip to the vet.. even if it is a cancer, I cannot let her go through the surgery, she is only 5 months old and she only weighs 3.14 lb -- and there is no way that I am going to let her go through the stress.. And my gut feeling is that it is NOT cancer.. if it came from injections, it's too soon to develop (it has been only less than 10 days after her fluid and vitamin injections).. I don't know what it is, but it's definitely not getting bigger,, and again, right now, it's secondary problem to me.. I just need to deal with this FIP first... Again, thank you so very much -- I really appreciate your information and will keep in my hand..

Hideyo, Any new tumor and/or growth mass that suddenly apprears on the body should not be taken lightly. Feline tumors, whether it is a malignant/benign fibrosarcoma or just a fatty subcutaneous cyst, should be evaluated immediately via practicing, licensed, board certified veterinarian whould is experienced, skilled and proficient with feline sarcomas. The good news is that Dharma may not have a fibrosacoma at all. The lump could just be a simple cyst that needs to be drained. A needle biopsy can confirm that. The veterinarian will insert a needle into the core of the tumor, which is attached to an empty syringe, and if the lump is indeed a cyct, he/she will extract fluid; however, if no fluid appears, then it is most likely a fibrosarcoma. Regardless, if the fluid was successfully drained, the sample should be sent to pathology for a histopathology report to rule out possible cancer cells. The bad news is that fibrosarcomas are highly malignant tumors. They can occur for no apparent reason and, in some cases, can occur as a form of vaccine reaction at vaccination sites; more commonly known as Feline Vaccine-Associated Sacoma (FVAS). Obviously, this is a serious side effect when vaccinations are implicated as the cause. Fibrosarcomas generally do not appear to be painful. They progress fairly slowly in most cases, but it is best to remove them as soon as possible due to the difficulty in getting enough tissue around the margins as the tumor grows in size. Once Dharma has been seen by your local and trusted veterinarian and a preoperative biopsy has been completed (some veterinaians will perform a preoperatinve biopsy prior to amputation surgery, some won't) removal of the mass is usually the next step. It is just a personal preference on how comfortable your veterinarain feels about performing the operation on an individual case via case base. Surgery for vaccine-related sarcomas works about 50% of the time. It works a lot better if a biopsy is done prior to the first surgery so that the surgeon knows that this is a fibrosarcoma from the onset. In that case, a surgeon who is familar with surgery for aggressive cancers should be consulted and should perform the surgery. Again, there is some chance that your veterinarian may feel comfortable enough about removing the tumor his/her own self, but most general practitioners do not. Dharma will just have to be examed by your veterinarian an evaluated on individual case via case base. If your veterinarain will perform the operation, great; if not, Dharma will have to be referred to a surgical specialist. Nevertheless, removal of the fibrosarcoma has to be done very aggressively due to their high metastasize rate. These tumors are often malignant and it is not uncommon for the cancer to spread to other regions of the body, usually the nose cavity, chest and lungs. Metastasis to other organs can be very difficult to detect without the assistance of a MRI or CT imaging. This is why is it extremely important to do a WIDE surgical excision that has a wide surgical margin (at least an inch in every direction is necessary when removing the tumor in order to prevent metastasis.) Since an inch below these tumors often includes the bones of the spine there is a strong tendency among veterinarians not to be this aggressive. This is why very few vets will perform the amputation operation on the presumption that a fibrosarcoma is present. There is good evidence to suggest that the wide surgical procedure has the best chance at getting all of the tumor so it is important to plan this surgery well. Due to this, seeing an oncologist first may be best

After some tests the vet said she has FIP and wanted badly to put her down.

Re: Prayers for my Dharma -- Please!!!
This is exactly why I keep trying to get people to understand there is NO test that absolutely diagnosis FIP, once a vet say's it's FIP most people don't question it and and the vet say's nothing can be done. MANY, many cats diagnosed with FIP die from something else that was almost always treatable. Most people don't have a necropsy done and I hate it when they go around saying their cat died from FIP with NO proof. This disease is worse than FeLV or FIV put together because it is still so misunderstood and cats are dying from a mis diagnosis of this all the time. Off my soap box now :) I lost her on 7/18/06, a day before our wedding anniversary, but it wasn't because of FIP, it was heartworms.

Re: Prayers for my Dharma -- Please!!!
It is exactly what blowed our minds; giving us all the crap in the world about her testing positive for corona virus, simpthoms, blah blah blah and that the actual test for FIP is as necropsy. Just my common sense was telling me that when a cat hears your voice from across the hall and then licks your hand the only movements she was making during her stay there it meant for me that she needs me and she wants to get better for me. So I gave her the love in the world to make her eat so I could take her home. I got your other email appologizing; do not worry about a thing. I am pretty rested today, so I didn't take it personal:) But you are right about necropsy; I felt too that I had to know why she died, especially when it was a sudden death. After we left her home in the morning playing and doing her usual, we came home to find her dead in the middle of the floor. It was one of the shocks of my life. Unfortunately we had no much time with her to mourn because the vet was closing within an hour, could not keep her dead over the night being too hot, and in the same moment we got out of the house Lola came in our way to feed her. So we took Lola too to be spayed. And here I was after two days, mourning for Bolo and pulling my hair our because Lola's test came positive and again I was fed again crap from the vet. I am telling you, I am not lucky to have good vet, I cannot aford to go around and look for one, Lola doesn't travel not even several feet outside the house without pooping very bad on her, so I don't want to stress her. We tried to find her a one-cat household or somebody with another positive cat, but everything we found was a rescue refugee in Virginia that accepted her. Well, after an email from tonya we took the chance to introduce her to our other two brats. Our situation is a little bit more complicated because we are just temporary in US. We are working inobtaining the permanent residency, but if we will be denied I will need to find homes for them. Until then we pray for the best and we'll figure out something when it comes to it.Ioana Belinda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is exactly why I keep trying to get people to understand there is NO test that absolutely diagnosis FIP, once a vet say's it's FIP most people don't question it and and the vet say's nothing can be done.

oh, I am sorry I sent that email now, because the meds did arrive right afterwards!

Pete
Thanks everyone for the kind wishes and prayers to light Petes way to the bridge. I am still in shock over losing him. He has always been my strong sturdy boy and it seems as if he became weak over night and in a few days he was gone. His best friend Charlie Brown is grieving so and his brother Dooley is not acting like himself. I'm so afraid of losing another so soon. To top it all the little sick Kitty that was abandoned has disappeared and I fear the worst for him. I tried to trap him but he was to smart or to sick for the food bait. Pete was diagnosed with felv when he was 5 years. He probably was positive before but was never checked. He was so sweet and healthy until the last days. I'll miss him very much. Sheila in SC
Re: Beware of people offering to send meds!
The warning was valid even if circumstances changed. I still don't understand the $20. I thought that particular drug was very inexpensive. Maybe I have my drugs mixed up. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.
