  Hi Everyone



  Yesterday  was a very good day for Junior. Actually he has been doing well
for over two weeks. After a 1 month course of Baytril, I put him on Metacam
for pain and inflammation. What a difference a week can make. He is like a
kitten again. I never thought I would see him feeling so well. I did not
want to say anything before now. I wanted to make sure it was real.



  He stays in Eric's room, because he does not want to be around the other
cats. He now likes to venture out a bit and explore. Ok for the real good
news, his vision is better. He can see close up again. Eric discovered this
and had to show me. Now I am sure it is not great vision, but I guess the
inflammation was causing part of his blindness. Junior is good therapy for
Eric. Eric is suffering from some yet undiagnosed neuromuscular disease.
Probably autoimmune in nature. Lately he has been in a lot of pain and is
very week in his legs. Junior provides comfort and support for Eric while I
am at work. I guess you could say he is a therapy cat, at least for Eric he
is.



  I just thought I would share the good news.



  I am having problems with the PC cutting off on me after a few minutes. I
have not been able to keep up with the group news.



  I hope every one's kitties are doing alright. I pray for all of them

Re: Update Junior

2007-04-27 Thread Nina

Hi Sally,
I'm so pleased to hear how much better Junior is doing.  Thank you very 
much for updating us on his progress.  It's wonderful that he's regained 
some of his sight.  The news is so very encouraging!  Have you been 
giving him Omegas for the inflammation?  It would be good if you could 
wean him off the Metacam eventually, (I've heard some neg reports about 
it's use).  In the meantime, I don't see how a fish oil supplement could 
hurt.  Maybe you could ask your vet what he thinks.  I give my German 
Shepherd flax seed oil to help with his degenerative spine disease and 
arthritis because it's high in Omegas (they are proven to reduce 
inflammation).  Because grains are not good for kitties, I give them 
salmon oil instead.  Omega fatty acid is also good for their coat.  I 
recently ordered a concentrated Omega 3 supplement that is advertised as 
an skin allergy reliever.  It's called Aller G-3, I got it online, I 
think at Only Natural.


I take it Eric is your son?  I'm sorry to hear he is in pain.  Would you 
like to tell us more about what you know of Eric's condition?  I don't 
remember your writing about him before.  Your commitment to Junior's 
care is even more commendable knowing how much you have on your plate 
already.  I loved hearing about Eric and Junior being such good therapy 
for each other.  Isn't it amazing how our fur babies give back to us in 
so many ways?


Blessings to your family,
Nina
