Re: ovaban and other stuff....Nina
Dear Nina, I've been thinking much about you also. (And now w/ my vision going so bad, unless I put you on speed-dial...well. And, my mobility is also going to he!!, so it's almost impossible for me to answer phone. And, that portable phone my room mate got me, well, it has TOO many things and I have a great record of disconnecting incoming calls.. I give up! Think positive - great idea, but hard to do when you're steadily going [further] down- hill. After reading your post, I remembered how the vet visit went w/ Bart... (I also have a great vet, compassionate but MILES awayHe does give me Rescue Rates - thank heaven).. When I sadly had Bart PTS he asked me what did I want to do w/ his remains.I jokingly said I'd put him in freezer w/ Fred, my [very LARGE] goldfishWe have been in such a deep-freeze, snow, sleet...I don't think ground will thaw 'til June So, I did have him cremated That fee was larger than I expected..But, as always, the critters come first. I didn't now how Bart would react - strange place, strange people.. And he was in so much pain.. But I did explain to him why I was doing this, promised him he would be taken care of [NOT what I wanted, but I've promised all my critters I'd never let them suffer]. He was so amazing though. He did growl, hiss - but only once. I just stroked him, explained to him what was going on, and he even let me kiss him I really believe he knew I was doing the best [only] option. When the vet gave him the sedative prior to the euthanol, well, he looked at me w/ those big, beautiful eyes - I think telling me, It's ok Mom thank you. And, for Charity's appt., I do have a carrier that has the metal thing on top that you can just open, and that will probably be much less stressful - for both her me. I'm just concerned about how we can draw blood.. She was negative when I had her spayed, but she's been out the last 2 years, And, Bart, [NEVER tested], was old, intact had all the textbook symptoms of wet FIP(He was so full of fluids...) Poor 'ole boy. A lousy life. Is it any wonder I prefer critters over people? And believe me, doing Rescue for so long, the things I saw, the idiots I encounteredG.. I could go on on. Especially since I just watched Animal Cops (Heroes). Ughh.. I'll let you all know how it goes w/ Charity. I do talk to her every day, try to explain what we're [trying] to accomplish. And, yes, she does trust me so hopefully it will be smooth sailing w/ excellent results And, I do use Feliway RR. And w/ the Feliway, it's so wonderful - stroking this former feral girl. I actually thinks she actually enjoys the touching...I still can't believe the turn-a-round..Makes me cry, tears of joy. SIMPLY AMAZING! This girl had me in ER so many times! Oh, I am rambling again, sorry, but I have gotten so much love support from this group, And, it really helps me, emotionally. I really need that, especially now. So, thank you Nina and everyone for all your support. You'll never know how much it means to me, Oh, look at the time (Takes me forever to write). The insomniac is going to attempt to get some rest. Hopefully anyway. Much love, hugs thanks, Patti her gang BRBRBR**BR AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.
Re: ovaban and other stuff....Nina
*Dearest Patti, Your vet visit with Charity is going to be peaceful and smooth, I just know it. As far as drawing blood... What we've done is keep the kitty completely covered and just gently extracted a back leg to draw blood from. If you stroke, or gently tap her head through the towel while the vet pulls the blood it will distract her from the prick of the needle. I'm so sorry to hear how horrendous your disabilities are. Please hang in there. All the animals love and need you. I know it's not as important, but some of us two leggers love and need you too. I remember the first time I met you on the list. You hadn't been posting for awhile and the very first post back was so full of compassion and helpful information that I fell in love with you on the spot. I even wrote to tell you how happy and grateful I was that you started posting to the list again. Those feelings have continued to grow. You are a very special person Patti, an inspiration in so many ways. Thank you for making the effort necessary to continue sharing your life and stories with us.

RE: ovaban and other stuff....Nina
Hear hear---everything Nina and Barb said about how important and special you are to us, Patti, is so true. I remember being so happy and so relieved when you started posting again in recent months! I always love seeing your postings; it gives me that all too rare all's right with the world feeling. You are indeed an inspiration to me too in all that you do for your beloved furbabes, despite your many and significant health problems. Know you're always in my thoughts too, dear Patti, sending you healing vibes. much love and big hugs, Kerry -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 10:19 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: ovaban and other stuffNina Dearest Patti, Your vet visit with Charity is going to be peaceful and smooth, I just know it.
