I just signed up today and wanted to share with the world my experience with tamiflu...I had taken a four month old cat to the vet because the cat wasn't eating. The vet said took blood said the white blood count was low and the cat had a fever. The vet said "It's probably just a virus." He gave the cat some meds and the cat was fine for a week. I took the cat back in -the white blood was almost zero and the vet said it could be distemper. The cat died the next day. So a few days later another one of my cats got sick, then the next day another one and then the next day another one for a total of three that were at the vet's office. All of them had fevers around 107 and no white blood count. He gave them tamiflu, along with fluids for five days. All three lived and are back home with me. He also gave me tamiflu to give my other cats at home. (I have a lot of cats). Everyone is fine. I just want everyone out there to know that Tamiflu works miracles for distemper. I hope this information is useful to someone who might be going through the same thing.

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

Thanks, I am enjoying this website. It's just too bad that I didn't find it earlier and maybe someone could have helped me with Kodak. I don't blame the vet. I am so grateful that he figured it out and saved the other cats. Believe me, if you would have seen the other cats, you would have said "I don't think they are going to make it." Sometimes symptoms of distemper come on so fast, cat owners think that their cat has been poisoned. (I have done a ton of research.) That's what happened with my cats. Since 2 of the 4 have had their shots my vet thinks it is variant strain of distemper...I am really grateful for this website. A lot of my friends think I am crazy for paying such a high vet bill and I know you guys understand that you can't put a price on your pet.
