Re: Good Report
Elizabeth, I am so happy that MK has gotten such a good report. Gaining back her weight is a great sign and so is the correction of her eyelids! I hope she continues to improve!!! :) Wendy --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Last week on Tuesday, MK (mama kitty) was diagnosed with FeVL+.

Re: Good Report
Elizabeth, I'm thrilled to hear how well MK is doing! Hooray!! If she starts showing symptoms again, you might want to talk to your vet about trying a different abx, or investigating further what the problem might be, (remember the felv is causing the immune suppression, not the symptoms). When Grace first started showing symptoms my GP vet put her on Clavomox. She'd start to feel better by the 10th or 11th day and then relapse a couple days after we stopped. With the help of my Internist we found out that she needed a broader spectrum abx, (Doxycycline). If you decide that she needs more Pet Tinic, try mixing it in some food, (beef works best around here for masking the taste). You can add tiny amounts to several feedings until you figure out what MK will accept. Vita B12 shots have helped my IBD kitty Gypsy with nutrition absorption too.

Re: Good Report
Pet Tinic does taste horrible, ever tried it yourself? (go ahead, it wont hurt you at all, perfectly human-digestible and safe!) Nasty stuff! The vitamin injections will be better absorbed anyways. Sounds good, I hopes she continues to improve!
