Re: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba

Hi Beth,

 

                All healing energies headed your way for Bubba.

 

                Most URI's are viral, and the most common is herpes. Have you tried famciclovir? Has done wonders for my boys.

 

                You're very lucky to have access to doxy, now that it is so expensive and scarce, most places don't have it. Hope it does the job. If you can trade the prednisone for prednisolone, it will be more bio-available for Bubba.  

 

                The capstar should knock out the fleas if you can keep him from re-infesting. Fortunately Advantage still seems to be effective for me, Frontline never did work.

 

Wishing him a swift and complete recovery,

 

All the best,

 

Margo

Subject: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba

Hey guys need some positive energy for one of my FeLV fosters - Bubba. He had been battling a URI. Tried a couple different antibiotics, and finally, after a week the URI cleared &  he started eating on his own last Sunday. Well as soon as I took him off the Doxy he started going down again.
We went to the shelter this afternoon & thankfully they had a wonderful vet volunteering who has experience in FeLV kitties.
We're wondering now if he has Hemobart since he starting going down after withdrawing the Doxy. His gums were pink, though. I've had a constant battle with fleas. Advantage was no longer working so I switched  Frontline, but that doesn't seem to be working well either.
He got fluids, more Doxy, Prenisone, Cyproheptadine, Capstar & AD.
On top of that it looks like he has a cat bite o his tail. Poor baby. Going to go home tonight & spend some one-on-one time with him.
Just being able to talk to you guys about these babies really helps. At least I feel like someone understands how helpless I feel sometimes.
