On the internet I'm seeing that the recommended dose is 1/4 of a baby aspirin every 3 or 4 days, since cats' livers don't process aspirin very well.? It's not common but not unheard of for a vet to prescribe aspirin, but usually a mini-dose as described.? Is there an emergency vet where you live that you can call to check whether the dose you gave Darcy is okay?? I'm not trying to scare you (I know, probably too late for that) but if another vet thinks the dose your vet said is okay, then it probably is, but if it isn't you'll want to know that asap, right? I would assume you have checked the incision site for inflammation?? Here are big vibes that Darcy feels better very soon without further intervention.? Hugs to you.

We brought her home Wednesday and she seemed okay, considering she'd just had surgery. ? Yesterday she was in more pain, but we just figured the pain shot they'd given that was supposed to be good for two days was wearing off. ? Today is even worse.? I called the vet this AM.? She suggested giving a baby aspirin, which I did before going to work. ? Tonight, she barely lifts her head and is mewing so pitifully.? She a te some earlier in the day but won't eat tonight.? I called the vet again, and she had me give 1/8 of an antibiotic and we'll bring her in tomorrow morning first thing.? We've had other FeLV kitties neutered with no troubles, but I'm getting scared tonight. ? I just needed to share this tonight.? Any encouraging words or suggestions are greatly appreciated! ?

Re: [Felvtalk] Cherry Please add to the CLS :(
Hello Everyone, I'm new to this forum and have recently learned that my sweet boy, BB was diagnosed positive with Feline Leukemia and cancerous tumors in the bone marrow.? I was wondering if any of you knew what stage of the disease tumors in the bone marrow were?? My sweet BB is on prednisone, although I don't think the dosage is enough because he's still lethargic and weak.? The?cancer in the bone marrow is making him anemic.? Is there anything you guys can tell me about what I can do for him?? I hate to see him this way...I love him so much.? And to be honest, I'm scared that I don't have much time left with him because his appetite is poor..he'll nibble on food but doesn't drink much water.? The Vet seems to think that BB contracted the virus as a kitten and it's been dormant until now.? I'm so sorry to hear of all the other kitties that have died from this terrible illness.

[Felvtalk] Hello Susan!
Hello Susan, BB was a stray when we came to us so I don't know his exact age, but the vet seems to think he's anywhere between 4-5 years of age.? I've had him for two years and I wish with all my heart that we could have had him as a kitten...we would have given him his proper vaccinations.? I'm so glad to be here with others who love their kitties!? Sometimes people don't understand...but my BB is a member of the family and so I hurt when he hurts.? Now that this has happened, I'm one of the first to tell peopledon't let your cats roam around outside, keep them safe and get their vaccinations!! -Original Message- From: Sander, Sue sue.san...@ssa.gov To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sun, 7 Jun 2009 9:50 am Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Cherry Please add to the CLS :( Jaci, I am so sorry.
