Re: Question about eye ulcers -Update
Oh ChrisI'm so sorry to hear this! Kaylee will be in my thoughts and prayers totally. This isn't something to stomach very well as I know. But there are cats/kittens that do make it through the surgery without any complications. Miracles do happen! My experience with this is you become a nervous wreck over this. Sorry for being straight forward about this. It's not easy dealing with something of this nature. Please read my pet memorial below my Angel Taz he had the same thing. In a message dated 9/8/2007 5:35:20 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Well, after spending over 2 hours at the vets this morning, it turns out that Kaylee does not have conjunctivitis, herpes or a corneal ulcer. What she does have is a tumor. She will be going into surgery on Tuesday to have the tumor and, unfortunately, the eye removed. I am very worried about this since I have heard so many horror stories about FeLV+ cats not making it through surgery. Please say a prayer for a successful surgery, removal of the tumor and a good recovery.

couple o f questions
Yesterday (?)someone posted something about valium & cats, what was the post? Also, Lysine, how do you tell if it does have propylene glycol in it. Would it for sure be on the label? Is it very common? I am asking because I use the Equine concentrated Lysine.(hey,multi cat household) It is PG is not listed,and I have emailedthe manufacturer, but I thought someone might know more than me @ this point.

Re: Slightly OT: Thanks; new kitty
Ahhh, thanks for the update, Megan! A female orange tabby, how unique! It is my understanding that orange tabbys are female only 20% of the time. It's a chromosome thing. My Little Miss Money Penny is a tiny femalle orange tabby. AKAS Minnie Penny. AKAS Penny from Heaven. Nowshe does have a liver problem,she is 2 years old and about maybe 4 lbs. So cute First feral kittens that I ever caught. Walked right up to them while they were sleeping in a client's lawn chair and swopped them up. Susan J.

Hopefully it's not a false one Aside from some ear mites and fleas, she seems pretty healthy. The vet estimated that she was about 3 months. She weighs less than 3 pounds. So tiny! I think we're going to call her Clementine. She's tiny and orange, and it fits in with the plant motif I've already got going (Juniper, Kudzu, and poor Olive). I suppose her nickname will just be Tiny. Because she is, and all... haha. -Megan
