[Felvtalk] Question on Rescue

2009-06-16 Thread Chris
I volunteer at an always full, always crowded municipal animal shelter in Chalmette, Louisiana (just east of New Orleans). They just got an owner surrender of a 7 year old Exotic and I was trying to find a rescue for him. He's been bounced around since his elderly owner died and is now hissing,

Hi, Chris -- I have no useful input here, but just wanted to say that Mugsy is a very pretty smooshy-faced boy. Vibes that he finds a new forever home where he can let his guard down and be happy. Diane R. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org

Hey all, I haven't posted to the list in a long time. We've had a pretty good run with all our leuk positives but I have one that seems to be going downhill pretty quickly. We took him to the vet yesterday. His hematocrit is lower than usual (23%) and his Na, Ca, and Phos levels are off.

Are his Phosphorus levels high or low? High can cause tummy acid and they won't eat. A quarter of a pepcid AC might help with that. Was kitty checked for dehydration? That makes them feel really crappy and they won't eat. What is kitties white count could kitty be fighting an

Not sure if the phosphorus was high or low but they recommended getting tums today and giving him some of that because his calcium was low. He was given fluids at the vet yesterday for dehydration but they didn't think they needed to send me with fluids. I noticed today he is eating litter.

I would be real concerned with clumping litter if he ate any, you know what it does when it gets wet. Does the vet know about that? I have heard that cats shouldn't get tums, will see if I can find the palce I read it. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Me, too about the cat litter. That could explain the vomiting. If he is vomiting and not having stools, it can mean the kitty is blocked and needs to be seen asap. They had my Lucy swallow some pills and then xrayed her stomach each couple hours to make sure they moved into the intestines. They
