Great news about Slinky!

I guess if he's right what we're doing is
trying to make sure it's not further depressed?

Hi again all. Just thought I'd let you know that all is well with
Slinky. I went up to get his meds today and decided to take him with to
have them weigh him. He's actually gained about 1/2 a pound, maybe a
little more since I was last there a week and a half ago. And the nurse
looked at him and said he looked perfect. :) She also cleaned out
his ears (which were quite goopy since I've been giving him mitricide).
The doctor even came out and talked with me a bit (he didn't think the
chemicals used for the roaches would be a problem for him since they're not for
other cats...said they tend not to affect mammals much). He also gave him
the first of the 2 Drontal tablets so I wouldn't have to try to get him to take
it. So that was helpful!!!
My baby did GREAT. Didn't even make much noise in the car and didn't
flinch at all when they cleaned his ears and gave him the pill. Such a
good boy!!!
I told both the nurse and the vet about this group so that if they have
others who have positive cats, they can pass on the info. The nurse was
thrilled...and shocked to hear that some vets recommend immediate
euthanasia. The doctor was already familiar with the site. He said
that there's really nothing you can do to boost his immune system, but that
nothing I did would hurt him (not a great response, but ok). But he kept
reiterating that he has every chance of having a normal life expectancy and
staying healthy...or of testing negative in a few months. So that was
helpful! I told him I was going to keep up with the natural food,
supplements, etc. so that at least I'd feel like I was doing something to help
him.
Anyway...just thought I'd share. Thanks for all your help with trying
to figure out his weight and "bonyness" issues. I appreciate it!!!
