Thank you! I ordered some from EntirelyPets.com for a very good price and I can't believe how fast they got it here. It does seem to be helping. In a message dated 7/3/2006 10:08:03 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've been away from the 'puter all weekend, so I

Do try the Australian Bush Flower Essence "Emergency" too. I used it on Zelda, my JR x because she's deathly afraid of the darn fireworks. I couldn't believe it when she fell asleep on the couch during the worst of it tonight. She even went outside under her own power to go potty later,

I really appreciate the tip - I'll look for it. I'm a believer in the Bach Flower Essences (Rescue Remedy) - and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't tried it myself. It's like liquid valium for Phelix. Trouble with the flower remedies though is that it's hard to get them into a kitty

Elizabeth, Do you have reason to suspect that Othello is pos? I know you said that he's afraid of strangers, but do you think he might be more calm if a house-call vet came? They could take his blood and then you could bring it to be tested. He must have been to a vet before, hopefully your

Thanks, Nina. That is a good suggestion and one that I will consider. He does seem very healthy and isn't showing symptoms. I have wanted to get them all tested just in case I have another positive and don't know it so that I can give the proper care. I like to get them a good physical

You could always treat him like he's positive without really knowing for sure. You know, give him the supps, watch his health closely etc. Take an aggressive approach to any hiccups... If he gets sick, rush him to the vet and get him tested. Unless you are thinking about adopting a young

Another good point. I can't get within 10 feet of a baby kitten though- I have NO resistance :-) By the way - laughing here about your advice to our new Mom to be and was going to respond to that one. My neighbor next door is expecting her first child in about four weeks and has been
