thanks, Dr Doolittle. As you are a vet tech, do you have any other theories, based on your experience? (fyi, i spent 12 years in Ontario! Expo '86 in Vancouver was fantastic.)

thanks, Sharky. fyi, his eyes are also glassy, look strange and sunken. Not eating other than the little bit of licking off my finger of babyfood and 9 lives liver and bacon.

Hi all, I've posted anew, to move to top of forum. Please, if anyone has more insight or suggestions, I'm ready. The latest on my boy: 2nd opinion yesterday, xray shows fluid, ground glass effect in abdomen, chest/lungs clear. WBC, MONO, NEU, EOS AND BASO ALL HIGH. HCT, RBC, HGB AND PLT...

liver enzymes were fine, no problem w/kidney either...

not sure, since i'm trying to learn...does that help narrow it down? if i can add a few more questions to ask vet, that will be great, thanks

re the blood smear, i know she checked for parasites (hemobartenella), negative...what else would be determined? re the antivirals...sorry, can you elaborate?

no, the WBC is the main issue: 35k then climbed to 43k..treating w/several antibiotics, no results

other than rbc being low, which had improved at next lab. vet tried to remain positive, stated anemia better, slight weight gain (only 1/2 lb though). she is stymied, has now told me we have 2 options: force feed/monitor while boarding until sunday, then run next lab as planned...if WBC has...

my 15 yr old maine coon is suffering from a WBC count of 43k (steadily climbing with each trip back to vet), inappetance, lethargic, not drinking water. he is on baytril, cypro, clavamox. has just come back from vet, having quick/mild sedation for scope down throat, nothing found in...

Hi All, My 13 yr old Maine Coon has been diagnosed w/diabetes 2 mos ago. We are having a terrible time regulating him , he's currently on 8units bid Humulin N NPH. My former vet (unfortunately I had moved away) is very optimistic about experimental use of Lantus on cats at her clinic, which...

Annie777, I have a solution for giving fighting with their pills! "easy cheese" (cheez whiz in the can!) by Kraft, just squeeze out enough on your fingertip to hide the pill in and they will meow for it! thank God! the vet tech gave us a demonstration when we picked them up with their...

Yes, that sums it up exactly...I too, am feeling very helpless at this point. Am now about to try a "lift n' sift" litter box, Dr Elsey's "Cat Attract" litter which promises "100% litter box use or your money back" guarantee, along with citrus spray, and another wonder cleaner (with enzymes)...

Annie 777, i just came across this tip on a PetsMart website for giving pills: http://www.petsmart.com/articles/article%5F843.shtml *it suggests blowing on your cat's face to "startle" him/her after giving the pill which causes them to instinctively swallow, can't hurt!

Mine too, "spit and sputter" when I try to give pills. It is extremely difficult & adds to stress levels for all! I suspect ours have a combination of UTI and behavioral problems, as this "peeing" problem has developed during the last yr, since we moved into a different home. Unfortunately...

My 2 kitties (16 yr old female, 12 yr old male, both neutered)have developed "peeing problems", are currently being boarded and are on antibiotics for UTI's. I am reluctant to bring them home until this is resolved, and miss them terribly. My vet has suggested Paxil, but has stressed there are...
