This sounds like a wonderful idea, Robert. We live in a community of rather affluent people who treasure their pets. I'm sure your services would be needed here. Where do you live?

Re: [Felvtalk] Finding money for Vet Tx...
Do you have a reliable friend nearby who could do meds while you are at work? I know it sounds crazy, but when Shallie's kittens were only days old, my boss let me bring them and keep their basket under my desk so I could give them a bottle when they were hungry. I was fortunate that he was also an animal lover. (She had been run over by a car when they were only 4 days old)Or if you will be making a fair amount of $$, could you hire a pet sitter to care for them?

I've donated to a number of "GoFundMe" (and other similar) campaigns, and also donated directly with a paypal address.

(What does your vet think of the response?) You may think that 15% haematocrit is still very sick, and it is still well outside the normal range, but you?ve basically had a 60% increase in haematocrit in 3 weeks. That is quite amazing and wonderful. It is as good a result as you would have had with 2 units of blood being given as a transfusion, only it is much better than a transfusion because Curly is producing her own cells, rather than temporarily fil
