First and foremost thank you all for providing insight. Ziggy is 
"moderately anemic" after my vet took his blood sample. He has prescribed 
him Orbax (I believe that is a antibiotic); Winstrol V to help produce more 
blood cells and Hi Vite vitamin liquid to give him more nurishment. The 
one good thing I guess is that he does still have an appetite and is eating 
albiet not like he used to. He is still licking things but not as much as 
before although he is now preferring to stay in the basement and not around my 
husband or I, which is a little disconcerting and has me a bit concerned. 
I was hoping for a different result from the blood work but at least I know what 
is going on now. He has to go back in a week for a report blood work and 
to see ifthere is improvement. He is also getting fresh turkey, 
which he loves and so far it has been useful in getting his meds into him 
(although I seem to be the bad guy afterwards as I think he realizes I tricked 
him... I am also startinghim on Interferon A as soon as my vet gets it in 
(which should be tomorrow). I just wish I could have picked up on this 
sooner than I did and perhaps I could have nipped it in the bud right from the 
get go so of course I am blaming myself. Is there any other advice or 
anything else I should belooking at giving him as a supplement or 
alternative treatment?Also, does anyone know what Kerry Roach was 
giving Bandy when he had come up anemic? The one good thing is my vet is 
willing to work with me and try whatever is necessary to help Ziggy get 
better. I also have one other question and then I will cut this off as it 
is getting long but does anyone have any experience on how long it could take to 
see improvement? Like I said earlier I wanted a miracle right then and 
there in the vets office and for Ziggy to be his old self even before we left 
but I knowit may take some time I am just wondering how long? Thanks 
again for everything and all of the kind words of encouragement. Please 
keep Ziggy in your prayers as I do each of your little angels

   In my experience, your vet is exceptional in his

Not

Certainly that recipe -- the one with kelp -- worked wonders on mine. 
They're turning their noses up at it, and wet food now, but at least they still 
look really great compared to when I got them.

yeast, wheat bran, lecithin, calcium lactate (for calm nerves) and 
montmorillonite (a source of trace minerals). Safe for dogs, cats 
and other furry friends.

Not sure where the montmorillonite came
from--the recipe in the book I have she says kelp. Which did you use?





Certainly that recipe -- the one with kelp
-- worked wonders on mine. They're turning their noses up at it, and wet food
now, but at least they still look really great compared to when I got them.

Re: nutrition info

2005-06-15 Thread Nicholena Rushton
Title: RE: nutrition info




I have another question to ask - I apologize for asking so many questions 
but I just can not think of all of them at one time! Since Ziggy tested 
pos for FeLV at such a young age would it be "safe" to assume he was born with 
it and is going to have it for the rest of his life? I knowtwo of 
his littermates have tested pos also but not sure about the third one (he was 
the only male and the others were all female).I have to say that I 
am amazedby other members talking about their vets telling them to 
euthanize a FeLV pos cat. I now feel blessed to have my vet as he 
poo-poo'd the idea of euthanasia right from the start (I was the one who had to 
bring it up when I got the test results - I was extremely nieve then and to 
think it was only one week ago!). Although I am wondering if anyone has 
any idea if there is a vet who could be more knowledgeable about FeLV in the 
Phila suburban area - just as a precautionary measure. Also, Ziggy only 
had the ELISA snap test done, should I have gotten the IFA test immediately 
after? I have another appt on 6/30 for Zig and am wondering if I should 
request it then or wait a few more weeks? 

I am so happy to hear thatall the other littleangels are doing 
better!As always you all are in my prayers and Ziggy sends out a big 
Meow toeveryone who is helping his mommy deal with this.

Niki
