Received a call from the feline vet today, the culture has come back as normal respiratory bacteria, normal flora. I am told we are not dealing with any secondary issues here. Strictly a viral nature. Treatment course is long term Famciclovir and inhalers: Flovent and Albuteral one time per...

Thanks Stefanietx...that is part of this phase of testing, should hear by tomorrow or wed...

I am posting in order to help anyone else who has experienced such an ordeal with pneumonia and URI with a kitten. We saw the feline doc. 4/4, had another full work up and she diagnosed him with a Wild FHV-1 strain with now...viral bronchitis (vs. pneumonia) and rhinitis or URI. She was...

I agree with Nutro Mike's idea on the inner ears based on what we have been through. From my experience it can be hard to diagnose hearing loss in cats when there is no infection or mite problem going on. We rescued a kitty in really bad shape 8 yrs ago. She is still with us. She did a...

I so agree Golden Kitty! My boys are unlike any kitty I have rescued or rehabbed. I am so amazed at the special bond they share. Lenny was neutered this week and I was expecting a riff with him coming home. He came out of the carrier, rubbed his favorite spots, walked over to his brother...

I've used it to research too. I find the information basic but informative. I have been researching like crazy on my little guy's issues and found this site. It provides much more in depth information, studies and reports too. http://veterinarymedicine.dvm360.com/vetmed

With tears in my eyes, I can only send my condolences. I am so very sorry to hear of Logan's passing. Prayers are with you.

Hope the medicine works and your follow up goes well. Just my thoughts for you. Dont let weight gain fool you. This was one thing that kept us treating conservatively at first. "Well..he keeps gaining weight and thriving?" Confirmed bronchial pneumonia diagnosis by x-ray on 2/3 which...

We scheduled him without his brother. Good thing because it took three weeks to get him in. Glad I sent out the post, I didnt know she was so booked on "routine" procedures. They will try and keep room for Squiggy but I dont foresee him being ready in three weeks.

Thanks for the insight. They have not offered that treatment to date. Will bring up with the specialist.

You and me both! I am waiting to hear from my vet on how we are going to transfer his records. I was advised they want them ASAP so a proper review can be done before seeing him. Just to clarify...this hospital is affiliated with The Cornell Feline Health Center. I am not actually going to...

ok, no news from Tufts, they are out. Spoke with Cornell yesterday and they offer a records review and phone consult. Also mentioned area doc affiliated with their health center. So I have decided to set up an appt with the feline specialist affiliated with Cornell Feline Health Center, She...

A year? Oh my! I do not know what a sensitivity test is, but know he has received a throat culture and trans-tracheal wash (lung culture), both came up negative for pathogens. I contacted Tufts, but have not received a return call today. I spoke with my vet today and she feels he should be...

As I am dealing with Squiggy's health issues I have to make a decision on Lenny getting neutered. They are a week shy of 7 months of age now. My original plan was to have them go in together at 6 months. For obvious reasons, Squiggy is not well enough to have his procedure. There is no...

Thank you and you are right. Since Tufts is closer, I am going to reach out to them this morning. Cornell is about 5 hours from me, but maybe they would offer a records review if Tufts doesn't work out. I also contacted Dr. Marcie Fallek, who is based out of NYC but treats in CT also and she...

Unfortunately, we have seen a specialist. This is the course they are recommending. My vet has been so diligent, compassionate and assertive to his care. We speak twice a week, and he is seen every week for follow ups. All conventional medicine is not resolving this problem. Maybe I need to...

thanks, I hoped we would have better news. I think this new treatment is not working.
