It's on dr. addies' website, but interferon might be also depending on what the kitty has - I will be praying that your kitty would get better soon!

One thing I would like to ask is that, could you post the blood work on the post? I really would like to take a look at it myself and read it. Especially TP and A/G ratio. If TP is high, and A/G ration is less than 0.2 - I might want to talk to you about another viral disease. If you haven't done already, you might want to send it to IDexx fro corona virus titer to see what it shows. Your kitty's condition reminds me of Henry so very much. Henry died after I gave him a couple of dosages of antibiotics called Baytrill - baytril is considered to be one of the safest drug and you would never hear that a cat dies from it, but Henry unfortunately did from the reaction from it. Not that the drug killed him directly, but somehow his immune system was already weak (he was thin, had chronic URIs, rough coat), and it further suppressed his immune system and killed him within 72 hours. They think he died of FIP which is considered to be very fatal. One thing I have to tell you is that, no matter what, please please be careful as to what drug you give to your kitty no matter what a vet says. You have to know the risks/benefits of each drug you give to your kitty no matter how safe they say it is. Otherwise you would be paying for it. A human could get a serious reaction from pennicilian so I am not surprised if your kitty has it, too. Does she have a fever? The only concern I have is that she may have dry form of FIP - I suggested that you also write to FIP yahoo group and ask for help. They have many many educated people also who is expert in symptoms of FIP, and they can tell you also what they think. Regardless, if your kitty is eating, and you feel that she is not in pain, don't listen to your vet to put her down. I recently had a situation where my kitty was very close to death, and did not give up and a miracle happened and he came back. Regardless whatever she has (whether it's FIP or not). Don't' ever give up a hope. Everyday is a gift you have with her. Please treasure and fight with her (looks like you have the attitude already - :) - at FIP yahoo list, there are hundreds of people who live with FIP cats and continue to fight with their furry babies. And, regardless whatever it is, we are here for you. I am hoping that it's not FIP. But I would really like to get a copy of the blood work. Ask your vet to fax to you. Also if the blood work was sent to idexx before, they can just make a phone call to add FIP/corona virus IFA titer test so that they won't have to draw another sample of blood. The meantime, I am forwarding the link to dr. addie's website http://www.dr-addie.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hd cc Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 2:53 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: New Member I have tested my kitty and no FIV or FELV or anything like that, but I was told you guys are the smartest people around when it comes to cats and kittens with problems. Heres mine! Sasha is 3 months old, she was fine, but then never really looked right, straggly and just not a healthy kitty, thin hair but did play and run and was alot of fun. Now she has URI, which is getting better and better, but since getting it she has really gone down hill, She is always warm, when you touch her she feels warm, and now sometimes her 3rd eyelids cover her eyes for a second or 2 and she acts like she is not there, and then comes back, and also her legs are giving out on her, they stiffen up and she cant move, and she is very twitchy, her whole body twitches/tremors, something is wrong, I did a blood panel and the vet said it was fine. a few weeks ago she was given a shot of pennicillian,. and had an allergic reaction to it, her head swelled up and when the vet noticed it gave her something to counter act it, i took her in originally cause she looked poor, sick and URI, could this shot have done it? Its almost like what ever is wrong its in the nervous system or in the brain. Anyone ever hear anything similar to this. the vet thinks in one manner to put her down, but I WONT, she is eating and she has a nice stool, just everything else is wrong. I love her so much, I just dont know what to do for her, she loves to come out and we walk up one side of the house and back, and thats it she stiffens up and goes down and cant walk anymore, i am in fear she may be in pain,,,,i just dont know what to do for her, she loves me and she loves to eat,,,,,anyone please tell me something......
