Thank you SO much to EVERYONE who gave their opinions. I think it is so
important to get every viewpoint possible
because it always gives me more to think about, and helps me to think of things
I otherwise would not have. And
even if some of the ideas are opposing or just slightly different, I like to
have ALL the information I can. I like to
gather from all directions and utilize everyone's input, because everyone's
experience is unique to them. Who knows!
The tiniest thing can end up being coincidental and I would be glad to have
known it. Anyhow, Brooklyn isn't
interested in the food I just gave him with his meds. The vet did seem very
knowledgable about FeLV because I
initially called him the day after I took brooklyn home. He's new at the
hospital I go to, a very young doctor. In any
case, I had just called the hospital and told them to have a dr call me back
that I could speak to about cats. He spent
a GOOD deal of time answering my good and dumb questions and was so informative
and patient. I told him how
much I appreciated that. Because he sounded so knowledgable about it, I wanted
to come and see him. So we did.
He was so nice to Brooklyn, talked to him and snuggled him, petted him. I like
that. I hate when vets are cold and so
abrupt. Especially with a fragile animal. They need comfort and calming.
Anyhow, he said he would treat this as a reg.
GI infec IN CASE that's what it was he wants to nip it in the bud. The pepcid
type pill certainly can't hurt, but Sandy,
I hope that the Flagyl doesn't. He also said he doesn't want to think about
vaccines or neutering until Brooklyn is
back on his feet and feeling and looking good. So, right now its about treating
what we see. Yes he did want a fecal
but I didn't get one in time for the visit. He gave me a tube and told me to
get one and bring it over so he can do
one. As far as the isoflourine, yes I know of it, I read of it when I was
researching spaying my rabbit. I asked every vet
what they used and if they didn't say isoflourine on a rabbit, I went to
another vet because I knew they hadn't been
up to date on rabbit healthcare. I went through about 4 vets until I found the
ABSOLUTE best vet which, DUH I just
remembered, she sees cats too! her practice is called Catnip & Carrots and she
specializes in rabbits/guinea pigs and
Cats. Cats primarily. Boy am I dumb. But see...talking these things out is what
helps us to come up with answers!
Anyhow, thank you to EVERYONE for all your viewpoints. I appreciate them all
because they are given out of caring.
Hugs to all of you!
