Hi Stan,
Just for my own curiousity, did you try any of the good suggestions
you where given, I only ask because you never posted about any results
of anything you tried? You where given some great suggestions, the
liver shake, syringe feeding (if your not getting atleast a can of food
a day it isn't going to do any good and Jersey will get weaker and
weaker, not eating for a cat will bring on a whole slew of other deadly
problems), and many suggested a new vet.
I told you that Jersey's potassium was low this is a fact and this
ASOLUTELY causes back end weakness, the fact that the vet your seeing
didn't say anything about it ESPECIALLY after you told her Jersey is
having backend weakness tells me she isn't a very good vet, and probably
doesn't see any point in treating a positive cat. I'm not guessing at
this I belong to several lists and many cats going through chemo have
low potassium problems and EVERY SINGLE ONE'S first symptom is back end
weakness. Have you asked your vet about doxycyline for the possible
hemobartonella?
I remember you saying you were going to try everything in your power to
help Jersey so I'm just curious as to what results you got from the
things you tried. I know you have tried the interferon which is very
good, but it isn't going to help the backend weakness. How much food
are you getting into Jersey a day? Jersey is a young cat and has a
good chance of bouncing back.
I'm not trying to be harsh, I'm just concerned, and emotionally involved
now, so forgive me for asking these questions, but you asked for help
and I'm just curious what you've tried and what the results where.
