Julie,
I'm not sure if we've discussed this before, but I am positive that what
saved Gypsy's life from IBD was a raw diet. She was also on Pred and
Flagil, and, well, you name it. The raw allowed her system to process
food the way it's suppose to.
I do remember you talking about removing the teeth of a one year old.
Another fighter! Along with superb caregiving, you must be one heck of
a cheerleader! Keep up the good work girl.

Hi Nina,
Thanks so much; it's great to be back among my friends. He definately
had lots of good kitty vibes going on; in fact, he said one of the
things that made it hard to sleep in the hospital was the absence of
cats on the bed!
I may have written about Tater Tot; he's from the litter of the
sickest kittens ever born. He had all his teeth pulled at 1 year of
age because he had such sever and aggressive stomatitis. He's only 6
and he's such a little clown; I miss his antics.
Tommy is my IBD kitty and he has good days and bad. Earlier this
summer we tried him on a course of Flagyl and prednisone and there
really was no change. We also tried him on a course of antibiotics
(he had a slightly elevated WBC count and Wendy thought there was a
possibility he had some minor infection along the tract somewhere)
which really had no affect. I've been giving him raw hamburger lately
and he loves it and I think he may have marginally better digestion
when he eats it.
Brownie is such a wonder! He's such a happy fellow despite everything
he has endured.
Julie
