Re: Deirdre has swollen glands under her jaw

I absolutly do not know - but a call to the vet might be in order. Also, you might ask if there's something else that might be helpful - antihistamine? Is she on low-dose interferon? Gloria At 04:19 PM 4/13/2005, you wrote: I don't know. I guess I would do another week? Or ask the vet? Michelle

OT - kitty with drippy eyes and stuffy nose

I have a young (less than 1 yr) declawed kitty - Lancelot - who came to me in January or February, having been out in the cold weather for 2 months. Not FELV when we tested him once. He has had eternal watery eyes and drippy nose. I had him on Lysine for 2 months. I've still got him on 30 u

Re: Turn for the worse

I know what you mean - I took my Calla to an emergency vet in 2004 before she died. He did a lot of tests, which I regret as I already knew what was going on, and he was very negative in his approach, wanted to euthanize her after all that, nothing helpful as a result of the $200 tests. I to
