YES. My friend's' Lucie was in liver failure because she was not eating her
normal amount of food. Her blood count numbers were off the charts. The
internal med doc did ultrasound to make sure it wasn't cancer and placed an E
tube. They kept her (24/7 clinic) for a few days to get her started.
I am so sorry. Three friends also lost cats this weekend...
2 Saturday night and one early this morning.
Prayers for all those kitty angels and their grieving caretakers/guardians.

occasions - it is touch and go at those time. For herpes,
Sweet. I love cats.

I hope everyone is ok ...it feels so strange not being connected.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

Maybe this has been discussed here...I saw vet this AM and he uses a new
vaccine for feline leukemia (prevention). It puffs under the skin, using a
needle the size of a hair. I think he said he uses it every year on cats
that go outside and those that fight. He uses 3 years on high risk cats
