Inky update

Hi, I know Inky isn't Felv+, but I need some help here...I went out of town last week so I had to board Bandy and Inky since they are both on meds...Anyway, Inky got sick while I was gone. They called me and said he was quite dehydrated so they wanted to start an IV after they had already done

Hi, Bandy had to stay on doxy for awhile until they ruled out hemobart. He was also on Lysine and interferon, baytril and pred at the same time...I just made sure that I gave him food before and after the doxy..something about it irritating them..Usually, I would give him his interferon right

Good wishes for Dexter from us...You know Lil Rascal was only given maybe a few days to a week to live with congestive heart failure, and he lived 6 1/2 months...guess that is almost like a person living several yrs with it...So what I learned from it, they can live quite a normal life with the

Hi all, I wanted you all to know that Inky is 20 now..this is his birthday week...He is doing ok, eating good. I guess the hyperT keeps him so thin...He is on a small dose of tapazole now so maybe it will help..He still comes and jumps on my computer table with me and gets up on the bath tub.

Hi Michelle, I have been dealing with Bandy's limping for almost 2 months now...At first, I am sure he hurt himself by jumping down from his cat tower. Since he doesn't have much depth perception cause of his eye disorder...Now he waits for me to get him down..But the last 2 or 3 episodes of the

Hi Michelle, I hope Lucy is feeling better today..I sure don't know what to do cause what works for Inky doesn't seem to work for Lucy. Have you tried adding bene-bac? I gave Inky some when he had loose stool and Bandy, too.. The bran isn't working either I take it... I know my lymphoma kitty
