Remember i told you all that Ki had a fever last week?
They couldn't find a reason why at this time, and put
him on Clavamox.
He still has his 3rd eyelid showing a bit, and just
doesn't seem right. He isn't eating well either. I
have called the vet and asked for advice. The fever
is still low
Wow! Thank you all for the support! I'm back at work now-late because I had
to go to the vet for some medicine for my babies-and the lady told me right
away about her little kitty who is lapping up milk by himself. She was very
excited. I'm very relieved because I worried all night about the
So glad things are better. I was in this position years ago. My husband and I ended up hand raising 7 kittens from a co worker. If it is one kitten the lady may get attached to it. Although most people who have "farm cats" look at them as "just there and nothing special." I know because I work
Innova Evo dry and wet, hands down, imo.
Lysine is great if the immune system needs boosting or
if there are viruses, like FeLV. If kitty is at least
6 months old, and at a decent weight, you can give
250-500 mg 2x per day. It's tasteless, so put into
wet food or tuna. Use pure lysine, and
Hey Jane,
She had one uri when she was around 2, but that's all. I don't do anything
special for her. I just watch her carefully. She overgrooms and I've had no
luck getting her to stop that.

Hi Cassandra,
I am so surprised that hemobart was a problem for both
Kisa and Tomi. I did a little research and it said
that the mother can pass the parasite to her kittens.
How old is Tomi? Isn't he Kisa's brother? If this is
the case, they may have had the parasite for a while.
You may
Dede,
No ideas other than what you've suggested. Fever is
not necessarily a bad thing as it's the body's
response to fighting infection. Any ideas to if and
where he might have infection?

Melissa,
I'm sorry you've been put in this position. And I'm
sorry that the mama kitty didn't make it. How
horrible...
I hate it when people act non-chalantly about an
animal being ill or dying. I just want to shake them
until their teeth rattle. It makes me sick.
Maybe you are the saving
It isn't just farmers. One man I know hauled his very ill dog (family pet) to
three vets getting the lowest price to kill this close friend of his children.
Cats are held in even less esteem.

She may have been talking out of frustration and being overwhelmed yesterday.
I hope so and it really sounds like she is coming to grips with the situation.
Still, the baby needs a real home. Some farm cats live wonderful lives, others
don't.
Debbie, I am continually shocked by people's insensitivity and down-right
barbarism. I can't believe that about the raccoons! What a sweet story with
such a horrific ending!
As for my situation, I brought up the fact that there would be help for this
kitty if they wanted me to take it off
No idea. The vet changed him to baytril. I looked up
his records, and saw that he was on that the last time
he did this, which ws in Nov of 06. He seemed to have
a sore tail then, and we figured someone bit him. He
won't eat, but I will give him some more AD, and do
fluids. Hopefully the
Hi Laura,
Welcome to the list. How old is Duncan? If he's
young, he has a decent chance of throwing off the
virus. We've even seen adult cats do it, so retesting
him in a few months might be a good idea.
Lysine will be good for him. It's a tasteless amino
acid that can be added to wet food.
Dixie is doing wonderfully on Primal Raw + veggies (high vitamin C and iron
types like carrots, green beans, spinach and broccoli).
If you have men who will

Hi guys,
Someone emailed me off-list, I believe it was late
last week, and I must have accidentally deleted it
because I can't find it to reply. If it was you, and
you could resend the email, I would be very
appreciative. I apologize for my absentmindedness!
Thanks!

I was planning on doing the trap/alter/release program this summer with some
help from the vet-but the good one left. Sadly, this morning as I was
getting some meds from the regular vet, and he told me how much he hates his
daughter's cats and how he threatened to kill them! He said the girls are
Wow. That's shocking of a vet to say that---so unprofessional, apart
from anything else. Glad you're planning to put your hard-earned $$
elsewhere, Melissa. Kerry

I cannot imagine a vet can be so callous, or frankly, so sick. At the
very bottom of the AVMA's home page, there is a contact us link. You
might register your conversation
with this vet by name. If there have been previous complaints about his
conduct or care, they could take action.
Hi Dede
I don't have any information about antibiotics, but now
would be the time to do the FortiFlora, if you haven't already
begun. Hopefully the Baytril will do the trick. A sore tail might
make him feel sad, especially if the circumstance wasn't to his
liking.
Hoping the boy begins to perk
The vet is an abomination.

Kisa and Tomi weren't related. Kisa was about a month older than him. They
were very close though, so one may have passed it on to the other, just like
one likely passed the FeLV to the other.
I'm giving Tomi dexamethasone, even though the vet didn't presribe it, about
.5 cc twice a day.
I sort of walked into this but if there is a sore you may want to culture it
and do a sensitivity test for appropriate antibiotics. We did this with a
problem Dixie was having and, thank God, an angel whispered in my ear to
culture despite the vet giving me one of those You are wasting your
I find also that farmers in general don't have alot of respect for animal
lives. I guess it goes hand in hand with the nature of the business. When you
raise animals to be slaughtered for food, you wouldn't tend to get very
attached to them, and I think that carries over for other types of
I think Innova EVO, Wellness, or homemade raw food are good choices.
As for transmission of the virus, as long as the cats aren't sharing
food/water bowls, litterboxes, or grooming each other, they would probably
be safe.

Hi Jane,
My Junior got FortiFlora while he was on Baytril to prevent diarrhea Later
on I purchased a good probiotic supplement which does the same thing. He had
no bathroom issues.
