Thanks for clarifying that, Otto.

NOPE - I just spoke with the regular receptionist - she's not the friendliest person - she said that "Uncle Sam is now dictating that they charge tax on it, it's still prescription food." HUH? The person there yesterday definitely told my husband that it was no longer prescription. When I...

I haven't been on these forums in a while - life has been busy, but I have a question for all you smart people. My husband went to our vet to get another bag of Science Diet CD dry food for Butterscotch, and the receptionist told him she was now charging tax on it because it's no longer...

Thanks so much for your comments, Bobby and Chris. Bobby - I will ask her about Petfinders - we looked there also when we were trying to adopt a kitty a few years ago. Found 2 sister kittens by accident instead though. Chris - you are correct in that if the Western Blot test is negative then...

Ya know... I mentioned that to her as well - my son has used Craig's list for other things and warned about that too - she said she is good about screening people. I will tell her again about not using it when I call her back tomorrow. Thanks Otto!

Well today has brought some good news. The woman called me back from the organization a little while ago. She found out the price for the Western Blot test, and now I need to talk with my husband about whether it is in our budget right now - he's away for the day. BUT... she was MUCH nicer...

Pictures of the sweetie this morning... "I'm so lovable!"

Mai kitties - thanks so much for your care and post - the cats we already have do not usually fight badly enough to break skin or draw blood, though it has happened on a rare occasion. Mostly because my son moved back home a year ago with his 2 cats - one is a male polydactyl with very sharp...

Thanks so much, Leslie. It seems I am now between a rock and a hard place. I called the vet to find out about doing the Western Blot test, and the receptionist said I had to deal with the woman of the organization who has been helping us. I only wanted to know the price of the test - the...

Thanks so much, Snake Lady! Yes the test he did in the office was for both FIV and FeLV, so I'm assuming it was the ELISA test - it was very quick. The Western Blot test is the one that gets sent to a lab, so that is the one I am going to ask him to do. Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed...

Thanks for the quick response darlili! While our vet was sympathetic, he did not have an answer as to how to find another home for him. He did say he could live a long life with this diagnosis - not sure about his other issues though. The thing is... as is elsewhere I'm sure... there are way...

Anyone have any ideas for my questions? This thread is going quickly down the page and we are desparate here...

We took Butterscotch to the vet today to get him retested for FIV/FELV since it is now 3 months since we've taken him inside and he was last tested. Back in May he tested negative for both. Today he tested positive for FIV. I can't tell you how shocked and saddened I was at the vet's. I even...

Not to lessen your grief about Lucy, but our Cookie died in December of 2001. I wonder if there was a problem with the batch of shots that they got before that happened? I feel the same way you do about having given her that shot.

nepotism........

Our first sweet cat, Cookie, died at a very young 4 years old from bone marrow cancer. We are convinced that she got it from that shot. She was strictly indoors and never exposed to another cat after birth, and had tested negative from the start. None of our other cats will ever get that...
