[Felvtalk] Whimsy - check up results
hi everyone, Whimsy went for his check up yesterday and we didn't put him under this time. However, he went into 'frozen' mode, and it stressed him greatly. He was very well behaved, just petrified. He is very angry, depressed, scratching on his doors to get out today. He was yowling this morning at the doors. He hasn't eaten yet today either - just sniffs and walks away. I am not a big fan of vaccines in general, and was very torn, but ended up getting him rabies only, because he is a flight risk still. I don't know if his demeanor is a 'mild' vaccine reaction, or a stress related one, or both. He does not seem to have a fever, although he's not a kitty I can easily check this on; gums are healthy color. I am deeply grateful that his blood work was perfect (did a full panel); I did repeat snap test, just in case, and the FeLV was positive still and FIV negative. His heart/lungs sound good, and his mouth, etc., look just fine as well. I just talked to my vet and she will call in a cypro rx if we need it and is available all through the weekend for us (we love her!!) (though he might be a nightmare to pill, ditto with syringe feeding). I know all the other tricks, so I will let him nap for awhile and see if I can tempt him at dinner time. wishing you and your furbabies a Merry Christmas, Shannon and Whimsy ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Whimsy - check up results
Hi, Shannon -- Maybe this is old info for you, but for some reason Kentucky Fried Chicken -- skin and bones removed, served warm -- often lures stubborn kitties to the food bowl. Obviously one of those herbs and spices is catnip... Also, I've recently heard that Friskies Temptation treats are like kitty crack. In my experience our cats can take or leave them...like anything we *think* they'll love... But some people on my feral cats list have been saying they work well, at least for their (trapping) purposes. Best wishes and calming-down vibes for Whimsy, and have a great holiday.

Re: [Felvtalk] Whimsy - check up results
Hi, sounds like Whimsy just does not like going to the vet. a couple of mine act wierd upon return from the vet. Mostly, I hate you so I will ignore you and hide from you. This goes on for a day and then all is forgiven. Right now, my guy and girls haven't been out for 3 days because of weather. Right now we have 5 and snow is still coming down. Right now, they hate me and do everything to drive me nuts trying to force me to let them out. Homey snuck out when i fed the birds and turned around so fast she almost knocked me down. Then she stood at the door with a Why won't you let me in, it is cold out here look.

Re: [Felvtalk] Whimsy - check up results
I have found a new treat made for dogs that the vet says is okay for cats. It is duck breast meat, water and glycerin. It is like jerky, but no salt. Canyon Creek Ranch Duck Tenders. They can't eat the long strips, but cut up in small pieces is great. All I have to do is pick up the bag and everyone comes running.

Re: [Felvtalk] Rescue work
Didn't the authorities bother to check with your vet. That would have told them about how you care for the cats. That is the first place anyone should check if they suspect a person is not caring for their animals. All they have to do is look at my Care Credit account and they will know.
