[Felvtalk] Smokey (was RE: Melina Please add to the CLS :(
Kathryn, I am so sorry about Smokey. I know how much you wanted him to make it. Don't reproach yourself too much (I know you have to a little, 20-20 hindsight is what we humans do best) for causing him pain trying to take care of the mouth sores. You were doing what you could to be a good mom, and we often have to do things they don't like for their own good. Gentlest of Bridge vibes to Smokey. I know he knows how much you loved him, and maybe he will guide you to another kitty who needs you. Brava for wanting to find one who's been passed by, I always worry about the older ones who aren't kitten-cute anymore. Hugs. Diane R.

We lost our sweet little Smokey cat. When I took him to my vet before we left on vacation she told us that the sores in his mouth were caused from the virus and that he was suffering.

Kathryn, you were doing your best to help Smokey not being stupid. All we can
do is try our best. Smokey knew you loved him and cared for him. Depending on
the cause many mouth ulcers can be treated.

Kathryn, you can buy it as a pill from a drug store and maybe in a capsule. I
started with 500 mg caplets and they were tough to crush. I ended up buying
the powder from iHerbs.

Much easier to work with. I dissolve it in a little water, mix with food and
feed it to mine.

It occurred to me last night that I did not take the time to properly say my
condolences for the lost kittys such as Melina. It saddens me whenever a little
animal leaves us and my thoughts are sincerely with their owners. I've been
kind of preoccupied with Smokey. I really understand how these guys can effect
you, I think it's because they are so innocent and, like Smokey, are so
trusting. Every time I go to pet him, which is a lot, he purrs, even though
he's not feeling great.
I will be gone for six days on a previously planned vacation, (bad timing, I
know). However, he will be staying with my vet, I'm really hoping that she can
get his ulcers cleared up. I absolutely will get him on lysine. Just one more
question if you all don't mind: Do I get it in liquid form or is it a powder?
I'll email when I return to give an update. Can you send pictures on this site?
If so and if it's appropriate, I can send a picture of Smokey.
Thanks, again,
Kathryn

Wendy I am doing ok.Thanks for your concern.I really had the urge NOT to go to
Sids tonight.But my heart dragged me there as usual.Not the same without Melina
there.She was the first one I would look for and then I would carry her around
and do the cat check head count.I fell for that baby girl the second I laid
eyes on her.
Also keep Jaws in your prayers,he is not doing so well.Another one that wins
over your heart as soon as you meet him.
Thanks so much,
Sherry
