Ah thanks Anita. We had to rush him in this morning a day early because he was breathing through his mouth. Dr. Gill, BooBoo's biggest admirer drew another 100 cc from his lungs. He immediately felt better and Dr. Gill handed him over to Bob to take home. As soon as he got home he ate like a little horse and now is sleeping. My husband and I keep asking each other if we're sure this is what we want to do and we both agree we've made a committment to try what's available to us and that's what we're going to do. It will break my heart when our 19 year old goes but he has lead such a good life and still is but poor little BooBoo didn't deserve this and it could have easily been prevented by one frickin vaccine that a stupid cat breeder neglected to do. I hope the woman who took the 300 bucks from us for him uses the money to go out for dinner and chokes. I'm appalled that they know what we're going through and didn't at the very least give back the money to help us offset his vet bills. I'm not done with these people. I'm just too busy with Boo at the moment to get really vindictive.

What love and compassion you have - that is truly worth its weight in gold. Love is the best medicine and you obviously have a lot of that! I am praying the treatments help Boo.

To my surprise he told me I could pick the interferon up tomorrow at the pharmacy I deal with and he would start the injections Saturday. The other vet said it would do no good at this stage, but BooBoo's primary caregiver is more willing to try to help him, that is if we wish to go through with it. I was so desparate today I wondered if he could be transfused to give him a better shot at battling this and he will be transfused next week. His vet said they have a donor for him that is vaccinated yearly. I didn't actually think there would be a live donor and was kind of dismayed to think another cat would have to do this for us but the vet assured me with cats their blood store is totally back to normal in a short time. I even had a pharmacy tech offer her Himalayan as a donor. I truly do not know if this will do any good whatsoever but what is there left to do. If new blood and interferon can't help him, I honestly believe we can do nothing more. I asked about other drugs too but the vet said he was really happy and thankful we're willing to go this far for him. He has 3 cats of his own and does love cats. He told us most positive cats or cats with FIP aren't given these chances so this is a first for him. I know he will do everything he can to help BooBoo. He really loves him too..If we can just give him a fighting chance here I'll try this Transfer Factor stuff that came in the mail today.
