Re: Buddy
Michelle, The going rate for Virbagen Omega (and getting it shipped to the U.S.), was around $1,200 or so last July. If you're referring to pounds sterling, I think the price would be more like £500-600. Remember, that the dollar has drastically fallen in value over the last three to six months, so exchange rates are bad for those of us wanting to import anything from overseas. On top of that, fuel prices are much higher than they were six months ago (we hit $100/barrel oil yesterday). Buddy will be in my prayers.

Re: Buddy
Isabella had high temp (as high was 107), was anemic and had enlarged spleen. She tested positive for feleuk. We use interferon 7 days on and 7 days off. We are in US and it's not expensive at all. We use the human form rather than feline.

I can't afford £1500 and the sanctuary will be reluctant to pay but this seems her only chance now. Buddy is currently hospitalised having fluids today - her temperature won't come down she won't respond to the synulox antibiotics so it's seeming to lead us to thinking it's viral.

That's why I went to stamp my feet and demand they help cos they tell you to act fast and say they help with vets and then don't allow you to look after the animal properly by with holding drugs. Annoying but I understand the cost issue when they have so many animals to share it around.

Re: Buddy has come to stay
Now there's an apt term, scrappy...I took some more pictures of Buddy today and I'll post them when I get a chance. He has an old wound on one side of his face where the skin looks like it was badly abraded or even burned. I think that may have been a healing wound when we first saw him. We're so sad about him being FIV+. Like I mentioned earlier, it's no surprise but no less heartbreaking for being anticipated.Becca[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had a Buddy too.

RE: Buddy has come to stay
My Romeo is a stray I was feeding for a couple of years. He was always terrified if my hands came near him and yet would always come running to rub up against my legs. I brought him in when we expectign sub-zero temps and a major snow storm. He has turned into the most loving affectionate cat in the brood! I know he was somebody’s throw away cat-he’s FELV+ & I suspect they threw him out when they found out.

Sadly, he did test FIV+, but I knew in my heart that he would. His puncture wounds aren't as bad as I had feared. They've abcessed outward and there's a little drainage, but the tissue looks clean and has good color. He has a mild fever and they put him on clindamycin plus Metacam for pain.
