Hey guys! Just an update - Boxer is doing MUCH better! We found out he either has a B12 deficiency or a food allergy - so he's on a special diet and gets a B12 shot about once a week. He's doing so much better - his fur is very soft and fluffy and he's plumped out and is perking around...

Ok, I'm always paranoid I'm going to forget something, and a cross-country trip is never more fun than when traveling with 2 cats. So here's what I have - am I missing anything? We're driving 16 hours straight to Ohio, and will then be in a hotel... - 1 disposable litterbox for the hotel...

Ok, so far everything is negative.. They're running a test on the bone marrow to see if could have FelV in his marrow but not visible in his blood. We're also waiting on a toxoplasmosis test since he has some minor neurological signs (back legs land a little wrong when he jumps, head shakes a...

We have taken several stray cats to a clinic to be fixed and have never had any complications or indication that they received poor care. The most recent one was ~1.5 years ago and they are all doing great!

Hey, that's a really good list, thanks! I've been going through, and all the different kinds of lymphoma/neoplasia are making my head spin a bit. Mostly I just try to read up on it before I go to the vet so when we talk I know the implications of something they may just throw out there without...

Hey guys, Ok, a lot went on today and I just heard from the vet, but I don't have the hard numbers down - so far, they still don't know what's wrong. Major findings: He is still anemic, and the anemia is non-regenerative. While the previous vet found that he had neutrophilia with left shift...

The vet said they only did a general protein test, but don't have the albumin or globulin levels specifically... so I guess we'll find out tomorrow. She did say when I called that FIP was very possible.

Ok, I definitely don't have those values, but I'll call the vet and see if they did the serum panel test. Also I have no clue about the Kenalog.. they gave it to him when he spent the night there after we brought him in 6 days ago. They actually didn't tell us they were giving him that or the...

No, as far as I know they didn't - I asked for a copy of everything to take with me, and I got a poorly-written synopsis of his blood values. Unfortunately I didnt look at it till I got home and I didn't have time to go back, but I will probably call them in the morning and ask them to send...

Thanks for the reply! I have a question - is the serum albumin/globulin levels something that would be done in a standard blood test, or would we need to wait till tomorrow for these values? I can call the vet and check if those were included, but unfortunately they only gave me the ones they...

Hi all, I have a very sick kitty who we've taken to the vet twice over the past week. They've done a number of bloodwork tests, but seem hesitant to make a diagnosis. Tomorrow we're taking him to a teaching vet hospital (Auburn University) for more extensive testing, but I'd like to get...

One of our cats has been looking very sick - we took him to the vet and they did a ton of bloodwork, then got back to us today to say - He has an elevated white blood cell count - He is anemic - He has elevated liver enzymes They wouldn't get any more specific, only saying "He may have a...

When I moved to a new town and didnt know anyone to ask, I called around to several different vets in my area and asked them to recommend cat kennels. I made a short list of the ones that more than one vet mentioned and then called them and found out more, looked them up online for...

I have traveled quite a bit with my cat, going home for holidays, and I have never had a problem with an airline telling me my carrier was too big or that the cat was too big for the carrier. Sometimes the checking attendant will request that you put the cat in carrier on the counter for them...

Hey guys, Sorry for the lack of updates! Things got a bit crazy because I was moving for grad school, and now my parents are taking care of the kittens. So far the kittens are doing very well. They are still small for their age, but in general healthy. Squeaky has a bit of a problem...

That's just the terrible lighting I think. Twinkie is mostly black with a white tummy, white around her neck and a white blaze on her forehead, but no other colors that I have spotted!

Ok, well I don't know why it didn't work, but try this link to view the album on Yahoo. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/saplin....EeWFBDm.JCr2s

Arg, hm, trying to figure out what is going on..

Besides the first group shot, these are only pictures of two of them (I took them back to Mom because everyone was getting hungry). The black and white in the close-ups is Twinkie, and the grey tabby is either Theodore or Sprinkles.. I can't quite tell from the picture.
