BTW, thanks to everyone who had ideas about getting Bella to eat her Mega C. After syringing her with it, she no longer runs from the stuff and will eat it mixed into her food. Yay!On another note, as I was getting ready to go to sleep, I heard a loud meowing sound on my porch. When I opened
I took the kitten to the vet, and the vet says he looks healthy. He did not test for FeLV because he said it would be a waste of as Freddie is too young to have built up a titer. He recommended isolating Freddie from Bella for 5-6 weeks until Freddie can get 3 FeLV vaccines in him, so that's
LOL . . "if you do get attached to Freddie . . ."TOO LATE! He's already been made a member of the family. I took it as a sign from Pepper that Freddie arrived at my doorstep last night :-)Freddie and Bella will just have to live separate and apart for a while. Right now, Bella's food,

About Belfield's Mega C . . .I ordered some, but Bella will not touch it! I've tried mixing minuscule amountb in both canned Felidae and dry California Naturals. If she detects the faintest amount, she will not eay it. (We had a battle of wills in which that was all I offered her for 2 1/2
Yes, flea dirt is excrement. If you put a bit on a wet paper towel, you will see it turn red (because of the blood in it.) That's how you can tell it isn't real dirt, but flea excrement. I use Frontline every 3 months as a preventative measure, and Bella has never had fleas.~Ashleighgwork
Bella didn't do so well on EVO either--runny, lethal poops when she ate it. I use California Naturals now, and she's thriving. The vet told me that she's one of the healthiest cats he's ever seen. I also use a little Omega 3 supplement on her food. (I am a big believer in that stuff. I take the

I can't help you with the kittens and adoption (2 reasons - 1, I'm in Mississippi--not Kentucky, and 2, I'm allergic to most cats and cannot adopt one without having first been around it to see if I react or not since some aggravate my allergies more than others). However, I do have a 1 1/2 year
Maybe if they spent that 7 million spaying and neutering strays, they wouldn't have so many end up being killed. Hm. Cheap vets charge about 50 bucks to spay/neuter. 140,000 (if my math is right, which is may not be) animals could be spayed or neutered with 7 million bucks!~Ashleighgary
This is going to sound kind of gross, so stop reading now if you're squeamish . . .If you're worried about the kittens being too young fron Advantage, but they have fleas, you might try to just kill the feals manually. If the cat is light-colored, they're much easier to see. Get a cheap pair
Sylvia Browne would say it's from Allie, that's for sure. It sounds like Allie's letting you know that she's fine on the other side (though it is still hard on the people left behind).~AshleighJennifer Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Well, Allie has already shown me her presence and that she
I'm with you, Nina. I had a cat actually DIE from over-vaccination. He got a vaccine-induced fibrosarcoma on his neck. We had surgery done on him, but the cancer returned. He went downhill very fast. I'm glad my new vet says that every three years is perfectly fine :-)~AshleighNina [EMAIL
I took Bella to see a holistic veterinarian today to discuss FeLV treatments. I liked him immediately, and he was very knowledgable about the importance of a good diet. (Every other vet. I've ever been to hawks corn-based foods in their office as the best choice, but this guy has analyzed
You know, it really makes me downright angry to think of how much the traditional vets are doing a disservice to their patients by hawking Hill's products. I cannot recall the source at all, but I remember reading something about them getting some sort of benefit from the company for selling their
Since I'm new to this list, I may be jumping in to something that's already been discussed, but I like World's Best Cat Litter. It's made from corn, I think. No pine, no clay, and no perfumes. It does a good job on the odor, too. (Of course, I do scoop every day so it doesn't get to be too much.)
My name is Ashleigh. I lost my cat of 7 years last night. Pepper was FeLV+.The long story starts several years ago. In 1991, I adopted a cat, Fred, from a no-kill shelter. He was 3 at the time and very healthy. I faithfully got his annual vaccinations for everything, including FeLV. In 1998,
I'd like to than keveryone who responded to my introductory message. All this education is helping me feel less helpless about what I can do to help Bella. My regular vet's wife called me this morning, and I told her what had happened last night. She told me that they re-test Bella and send it to
