Re: I'm back
Kerry, It's great to have you back safe and sound. We were beginning to worry about you. Sheila
I'm back
Dear everyone I'm sorry I haven't been in touch till now--it's taken me much longer than usual to get back in the groove what with everything that happened before I left and then having to leave my parents last weekend who although they're getting along more or less fine could do with some extra help--I am more and more torn about whether I should remain here or go back to UK. I got back home a day late (because of flight cancellation) and then to top it all I came back to a computer that until now would only receive, not send, email. Aaargh. Just wanted to thank everyone who wrote such lovely caring messages after Flavia and Snowball -- I will be replying individually over the next day or two. I also need to catch up with the list generally-- meanwhile please know my heart is with those who have suffered losses, and my prayers are with those kitties who are ill. I thought it would be hard collecting the ashes today but managed to maintain my composure (the vet staff probably dread my arrival these days). Thanks for all your concern. It's good to be back. I love you people. till later love and hugs, Kerry - Original Message - From: "Nina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 8:50 PM Subject: Has anyone heard from Kerry MacKenzie? > Hi Everyone, > Have I missed a post from Kerry MacKenzie?

Re: St. Francis Medals--for ALL!
Hi Jen, for some reason my computer didn't want to let me send it privately to you. Oh well, here it is. Nancy Smeltzer 21813 Suburban Drive Elkhart, In. 46516 Computers drive me nuts, but if it weren't for the computer, I wouldn't have 5 of my babies, or Bernie, who's gone, of course :-( nor some of my friends! So basically, I'm happy with it! Luv, Nancy and her MC Heaven, to me, will never a Heaven be Unless my pets are there with me! Don't take your organs to Heaven~~~ Heaven knows we need them here!
Re: Bandy update
Hi Kerry, I spoke to our list-mate Sally about what she has used in the past to bring down a fever. She told me about a kitty she had that was running a high temp. She had her on Baytril for 3 days with no results, and her vet prescribed "Delta Albaplex". It's an antibiotic in conjunction with a steroid, (she couldn't remember which ones, but your vet should know, when you discuss it with her). Sally said one dose and the temp was gone. When I asked about homeopathic remedies, she told me that they are so specific to each particular case, (you are treating the animal's general condition, not just the symptoms of illness), that she wouldn't want to just throw something out there for you to try. She suggested that I contact a lady named Darla who has just been certified in homeopathic care and is active on the Holisticat group. I'll email her and ask if it's alright for me to give you her address. I guess you could join the group and have access to her there as well. I hope Bandy is doing well today. Nina

Re: Bandy update
I don't remember if I mentioned this or not but Dixie Louise's alternative vet likes to use Fast Track for cats instead of the acidophilus because it is a more balanced probiotic.
