Yes Bramble is getting periactin - half a tablet 2 times a day. He is also
drinking water and getting extra water with his syringed food so is hydrated.
When the vet weighed him the other day he hadn't actually last too much weight
surprisingly and feels as though he has a put a little on
Hi Bonnie,
Prayers are on the way for your kitties and for you! I'm so sorry to hear that all this is happening; it's so hard when it seems that everything is happening at once.
Giving sub-q fluids at home is not at all difficult to learn; it can be a bit of trouble if the animal really
Hi Kerry,
I usually give 500mg of Lysine once a day; if the kitty is really having effusive sneezing or eye discharge, etc., then I use 500mg twice a day. It's 1,000 mg per day is the dose that a veterinary opthamologist gave me for Paulie when he had a corneal ulcer due to herpes.
Thanks so
Hi Terri,
I'm sorry to hear that they tested positive again; are you testing each cat or doing batch testing? How long has it been since their previous test?
I do know how overwhelmed you must feel; some days are just so hard. Sending you a big hug and lots of good wishes.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Poor little fellow; anemia makes the heart work harder and perhaps that coupled with the existing murmur sent him into some kind of arhythmia.I hope everyone involved will take comfort from the fact that he passed on knowing he was safe and loved.

Hi Everyone,
Still waiting for Tater Tot's cytology to come back. I spoke with one of his Dr.'s last night (my original vet; the owner of the practice). He's been in practice 30+ years, so he's seen a lot. He feels Tater does not have FIP; he thinks he may have an abdominal tumor even though
Hello everyone,
I wanted to say I have been reading all the emails. I'm so sorry for the losses and the ones that are ill. They are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I've been involved with a Breeder/Hoarder situation with 200 Ragamuffins that range from babies up to adults. The person abandoned
Hi Terrie,
What a nightmare! Aside from being unaltered, how are the kitties doing healthwise? They are so lucky to have you involved! I can imagine you must be physically and emotionally exhausted. Sending you good thoughts and the hope that you find time for a nap!!
Take care, Julie[EMAIL

Sniffing at food is a good sign and is often a precursor to them starting to eat on their own.

Did you ever ask about giving Metacam for fever reduction? Also, I keep saying this, but I would really try Immuno-regulin. Except that a few cats get an hour-long side effect of raised temperature, which I guess could be bad if his is already so high. I would maybe start him on it when his temp

Hi Everyone,
Most of the cytology is back and there's nothing really definitive; it's "suggestive" of FIP when coupled with other factors (Corona titre, fluid in abdomen, etc.) but the values are borderline low-end "normal" when being used to attempt to confirm FIP.
I may be totally off here,
You got it! Happy thoughts coming your way!

Julie,
I support whatever you think needs to be done at this point. It is very confusing. I know you like your vet, but is the vet an internist? They sometimes have more knowledge of what to make of confusing situations like this. They are usually at big hospitals and at veterinary referral
Today Bramble would only tolerate 25ml of syringe feeding but he ate a full
tin of Purina Gourmet complemetary food along with a few complete food biscuits
a little complete food kitekat meat - all on his own. Fingers crossed he carries

That is really great! And you have no idea how crazy you sound saying that your mom has cat care duties because you are parachuting for a donkey sanctuary! It's why I love this group!

Hi Michelle,
It's interesting that you bring that up; I'm about 1.5 hours away from a large specialty hospital in Rhode Island. I took Brownie there to see the veterinary opthamologist and I was quite impressed. The do have internists there and I believe they also have a CAT scan and I wonder if
Wow, Michelle! What wonderful news about Bramble! I have my fingers crossed! Best of luck tomorrow; I think what you're doing is fantastic and you have WAY more gumption than I do!
I don't even like being up in the air when I stay inside the plane!

Great to hear that Bramble is enjoying his food---AND eating on his own
