Pancreatitis is a blood test (and/or ultrasound). They send the blood to

Hi Amy,
A regular T4 thyroid test sometimes won't give a high reading until it
gets fairly high. Fred always tested normal but my vet could feel a
small nodule on his thyroid and we kept an eye on it. When he went in

Some random ideas that have worked for me. Keep trying with the food,
especially fried chicken. Spray Feliway on yourself especially the
legs of your pants and hands (where the kitten will smell). Depending

Taming a feral kitten takes time and tons of patience...trust me, it's what I
do! Try visiting the feral cat site online...they have tons of helpful
information. And yes, he could possibly already have been exposed to the
virus...but that is not necessarily a death sentence.

the benefit of a/d is the consistency/texture: MUCH easier to syringe-feed
than most things you can prepare yourself. baby food is a good texture, but

Another thought: Compare the A/D ingredients and purpose with some of
the better OTC foods. A/D has been such a standby that other foods
are often ignored. This is a judgment call.
