Can someone give Helene the dosage for rescue remedy and/or any other advice? Her Sammy is not doing well.

Oh Helene, don't feel bad for telling me how you feel. I've been through it and it is heartbreaking.I would ask the vet what he would do, but that's just another piece of information to help you decide. Sometimes i go with what the vet says and sometimes i don't. You know him best.I really don't know about the rescue remedy. I've never tried it. You should post to the list for that. I'll post this for you if you like.keep me posted, and you'll all 3 be in my prayers.tonya
Helene Hand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Thanks, Tonya..I hope Sam will give me a sign. Any sign. I adore my wonderful vet, Kevin Fowler, but he always defers to what I think is best. The buck stops here. I do not think he is in pain, but they mask it so well. After the initial bout in 1999, he and I and the vet fought hard to get him in remission.And did!! Until now!! What really hurts is that I have to use a 21 guage needle for the 100 cc of Ringer's he gets daily subcu because a smaller guage one would take forever.. He is not in renal failure. Urine looks like diabetes insipidus. Cell count is barely above transfusion level. I said no to that. Just taking him in for blood work after 7 years of handling all problems by phone was such a trauma for him. He fought me furiously when I tried to get him out of his carrier (didn't try to bite me, but clung with his legs to the inside of the carrier.and was so terrified.) It was awful. I had stopped the procrit but have restarted it in the hopes that his marrow is trying to make cells. And I also said no to a bone marrow aspiration for dx.Today he is drinking less on his own, but his skin snaps back ok I have not asked Kevin a question I should; what he would do for one of his own. God knows I don'twant to keep him here for me. I have had a knot in my stomach for weeks which wont unravel..............do you think rescue remedy would be helpful? I mean for Sammy. I almost bought some at Rainbow grocery, but need to know how much and could he taste it in the water? I know I can ask the list, but I am sure you know...........Kevin will come to the house to put him down. And isn't it ironic that my son and I just 2 months filled in the gravesite we dug 7years ago thinking he would die soon. He and his mother Delilah have been my joy for 13 years of their lives.........sorry to to unload on you this way..............Helene

7/07/06. The feline leukemia is out of remission.............Back to lots
of meds and fluids. Say a prayer for us to know what is the best thing to
do. Sammy is 15 years old.......... Vet concurs with whatever seems best
day by day
We who choose to surround
ourselves with lives even more
temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle,
easily and often breached,
unable to accept its awful
gaps; we would still live no
other way. We cherish memory
as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the
necessary plan.
