Unfortunately, the prednisone/depo shot did nothing for crash and he his xrays didn't show any stones....he was disappearing before my eyes, had been on average losing an ounce a day....and wouldn't eat canned or dry cat food anymore, just some cat treats... His red blood cells dropping like...

Bad news on his blood test results, his red cells were way down in number, were high normal on 2/23 and below low normal now...this represents a major disease present, not any kind of dental issue or other easier issue...likely pancreatic, liver, or intestinal cancer... I'd given Crash fluids...

The Crashman is not doing well, I gave him subq fluids twice yesterday, he won't touch canned food or dry food except for cat treats and he was dropped off for vet to see this morning, just spoke with her by phone, his weight went from 10 lbs 10 oz to 10 lbs 1.5 oz since last monday....he was...

Yep, his thyroid panel and all other elements of his $100 blood testing came back normal....I gave him the dosage range of Buprinex the vet recommended for his weight at the time...it was the only thing that stopped the vomitting when that was a problem... I gave Crash a half dose (.05 ml) of...

We've been dealing with his weight loss since just before 2/23...and the crunching just started yesterday and he's eating a bit better on less buprinex...I have had Crash about ten years and never ever heard crunching before....icky sound... He now wants you to say with him while he eats and...

His vet is the very best....just wonderful....adores cats and she studies them alot....her focus..... I'm going to get him checked again tomorrow....get head/dental xrays...under isoflorine gas or whatever vet recommends....no lumps bumps or bad breath.... no change in cat foods, his fur is the...

I'm actively working with my cat's, The Crashman's, lifelong vet on this and need imput....he's been examined by her three times, had blood work (normal), abdominal xray (normal), no temperature, no diarhea, no vomitting while on Buprinex (morphine derivative)...has gone from about 13# to 10.5#...

I buried my Eva beside a lilac bush...fitting as she was so sweet and the blossoms will smell sweetly when in bloom....

Hi, it's been a long time that I've been away from the forum...just busy with life...have my adult brother and senior mom with health challenges to take care of and the Herd of Kitties, one dog, two ancient horses and I work full time...you've got the picture... Well, I lost one of my kitties...

Princess Violet is feeling much better today...she was just off due to getting her booster shot, I believe....only two out of the Herd acted tired/off after getting boostered.....besides Violet, the other was The Crashman...thank goodness he's totally back to normal too... Violet offered to me...

I'm still hanging in there.... somehow...haven't lost any more friends in the last couple days...what a relief... After finding my little bird dead, I called the avian vet's office where I've taken my birds, and asked them about the distemper affecting my birds..they said it was species...

Found one of my pet budgies (parakeets) dead at bottom of his large cage this morning...hope he didn't get affected by the same virus that got my kittens....the bird vet's office said they didn't think this would happen...just another sad coincidence......the sixth little friend to go...I feel...

The Crashman is still feeling yukky after his booster vaccine...hopefully all it is....Roy is his usual jolly self.... I called my vet at home and she said Crash's likely feeling this way just due to the vaccine.... I asked her if I should NOT use a vaccine with modified live and killed...

Yes, you can bet I've been disinfecting everything I can think of...for days....since the kittens first got sick...I'm going through mountains of paper towels and am off my retail job today and will be here cleaning.... The kittens got sick four days after I took Peachy Keen to the emergency...

Remember Peachy Keen, my gorgeous dilute tortie longhaired diva kitty??? Her bloodwork the end of Sept was GREAT for an AIDS kitty, but very late one Sunday evening, two weeks ago, she started having seizures and I rushed her to the emergency vet...she was seizing there too and I had to make...
