Sorry I didn't see this earlier ! I have read it's 90%. I totally agree ! They do have a study on about 100 dogs for the Parvaid though. It's in the self help guide towards the end. And while I understand the need for double blind study for placebo effect - I don't think there is a placebo...

bought mine for about 10$/lb at Cal Vet supply. Fast shiiping, lots of other neat stuff too !

It's been just over a week and all are fine ! The product is marketted as a "dietary supplement that may help with the treatment and prevention of feline distemper". The same goes for the Parvaid for dogs. You can't claim a product does anything medical without proper FDA approval (ie: "cures...

I would be happy to give you an update !! They are all doing fine !!! Seriously, I am hysterical with happiness for them. I walk around the house smiling for no good reason. They think they're being spoiled rotten - they get boiled chicken w/ rice and baby food for their meals and they are...

I posted this over on the pets.ca board but there's no harm in spreading the word on good news. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Under normal circumstances, today is the day I would be burying yet another litter of kittens killed by panleukopenia...

I am very sad to report that Fudge, the little brother is now throwing up too. I am so mad / sad / tired. I just don't know why ? These are tiny little kittens and all I'm trying to do is help them get a good start in life and now this happens. I am on death watch for the remaining 3 kittens...

Last - sad- update Cookie passed away this afternoon at around 4:30. I had a feeling when I saw her at noon (before I had to go to bed) that she wasn't going to make it. I had tried feeding her the rest of the 5CCs of liver mush as she hadn't thrown up the previous portion and at one point she...

Does this sound like Coronavirus ? I looked around but couldn't find a "list of symptoms" associated with FCoV or FIP except for the fluid in the belly with the wet form. Do they always have a fever ? How high ? (Cookies' goes up and down but it's not a high fever and most of the time it's in...

yet another update (this is like a diary for me !) At 1030, same listlessness and limpness. She did go to the litter and while it was soft, I don't know if I'd call it "diarrhea" - as I mentionned before, I have been giving enama rehydration so that might certainly account for "loose stool"...

I guess she does have the symptoms of a reaction to the Revolution BUT would that not have happened faster ? She was treated w/ Revolution on the 27th ad only started showing symptoms on the 29th. Man I wish I knew what this was ! She looks terrible ! All limp and lifeless, like a little rag...

update 1:00 am She moved around a bit. She walked a few steps to the water bowl and stood there with her head hanging over the bowl. Didn't drink. I read this is particular to distemper ... I am so confused !!! No diarrhea, no vomitting since this morning. No fever last time I checked (at...

You know, I suppose that could be a cause. I also read that vomitting can be caused by dehydration so the logic could be that she is anemic and that caused the lethargy which caused dehydration and vomitting. I have (it seems) stopped the vomitting and dehydration but there's not alot I can do...

I didn't want to push the feeding yet since she was throwing up. I figured if she doesn't throw up tomorrow, I'll start supplementing. I make a glop from Hill's A/D and add various things depending on the symptoms (ex: hydrated bentonite clay and rice pablum for diarrhea). She is not eating or...

Help ! Here's the timeline on my newest forster. Her name is Cookie and she came to me on the 27th of September with her brother Fudge. They are approx 8 weeks and both weighed about 2 lbs. They were flea infested and were given Revolution which will treat worms as well. They were strays and...

My ongoing battle with coccidia: my little foster Eeny has come down with it this time - her sister Meeny was treated succesfully (Eeny was treated prventatively at the same time) but I guess this little gal got it a bit later so I've got another 7 days of meds from the vet. She isn't eating...
