Sweets cravings? I had
those BEFORE the Amitriptylin, so it would be hard for me to say! As for
dry mouth.. well, sometimes I get terribly thirsty, but I never connected
it to the medicine... I take that at night, right before I go to sleep...
I do keep a water bottle on my nightstand though. I've been known on many
occasions to wake up at 3 AM and have a bowl of cereal or ice cream... I
wake up with "carb attacks". I don't think it has anything to
do with the meds though, I've done that forever.

Re: Homoepathic SCAM?? (OT - migraines)

2006-11-10 Thread Barb Moermond
see, compared to THAT, on the pain scale, mine was minimal, but it never. went away and you get used to things that never go away - it was just a fact of life that my face always hurt, I couldn't wear my glasses for more than a few minutes at a time - that time I forgot to take my meds with me and the pain came back, I was surprised at how bad it was and that I'd become accustomed to THAT level - I'd probably put it at about a 6 because I've had worse head pain.  The worst was the aftermath of a bout of food poisoning - the emesis was so violent that I actually bruised my sinuses.  And I learned, from my ENT, that yes, you can bruise sinus tissue with pressure and usually when that happens, a hematoma will develop and usually after/during the healing of the hematoma, a sinus infection
 will come.  I had all of the above - and only because I had a hematoma in one of my sphenoid cavities can I relate, sort of, to the level of pain you describe - it was horrific - the first couple days I tried narcotics, but they did absolutely nothing - the only thing that helped, besides being unconscious, was a FULL GRAM dose of ibuprofen - REALLY pushing the max dose limit - it took about 10-12 days for the pain to finally start localizing (good sign of healing, it's not radiating to everything in its vicinity) and about 6 weeks after that the infection hit.  I've had 2 sinus surgeries and this last one has helped a LOT with the swelling from irritants - it's so nice now - if I'm stuffy in the morning, it only takes a minute or two to clear, instead of an hour or two, maybe.The thing that I think is funny, is that the doctors don't really understand how it is that these tricyclics (which are neural transmitters) actually get rid of pain - my ENT said,

It really has given me my life back, so 
I know exactly how you feel. 
 
I was at the point of almost going to 
buy a gun to kill myself, the pain was so bad and nothing helped it. I would lay 
curled up in a ball on the bathroom floor, alternating between shivering so bad 
my teeth would chatter, and burning up so bad that I was pouring sweat and had 
to lay there naked; that between bouts of flinging myself to the toilet to vomit 
every 30 minutes. It hurt to open my eyes, it hurt to have any noise at all, it 
hurt anyways, but it hurt worse if there was noise or light. The pain is 
indescribable really. Like acid in your brain almost, just so much pain in your 
head that you couldn't cope, and all you could do was lay there crying, 
clutching your head in agony. At least mine was in waves, and I got relief 
between bouts, I can't imagine you having that ALL the time.
 
I wish someone would had euthanised ME 
then. I never thought anything could help, I had invested so much money and 
time, and years of searching for answers into it, I'd really given up (my credit 
is ruined because of the tens of thousands I owe in hospital bills). Then this 
doctor comes along, and now... I have my life back. You really can't describe it 
to someone that hasn't been there. And my prescription, it costs TEN DOLLARS for 
a MONTH supply. WHY didn't this happen sooner?! Just goes to show, all the new 
drugs are not always the answer... a drug older than I AM is what finally saved 
me. A drug so old, none of the younger, up to date doctors even KNEW about 
it!

I second that advice!!  I've had chronic sinus problems and severe chronic facial pain for years - sinuses swelled shut when I woke up in the morning - face puffy, couldn't wear my glasses (too heavy) and talk about cranky - pain 24/7 is exhausting.  I don't have allergies, but I have extremely sensitive sinus tissue and exposure to various irritants used to cause major swelling (I had a turbinate reduction and adenoidectomy - FABULOUS results).  That was about last Christmas, but August/Sept of '05, all my doctors were still just confused about why my face always hurt.  They just were calling it atypical migraine and ended up putting me on daily nortriptyline - another one of those old fashioned tricyclic antidepressants and with one dosage adjustment - it WORKS  And I hadn't realized how well it was working until the 4th of July weekend when I forgot my meds and visited my
 mom...  just 3 missed doses and the pain was back.  I LOVE my nortriptyline!!

Kelly, I suffered for years with migraines. And like you I was on

able to function. I went to an OLD doctor, the oldest one at the

to (I'd always seen a young and handsome DR before, and I got this 
guy because he was
the only one with openings). Anyways, he took my history, asked me 
for everything I'd
tried, then he asked "Ever tried Amitriptylin?" I was like "What's 
that?", and he
told me it's an old style tricyclic antidepressant, when use in high 
dosages (300MG
and up), but it's been shown to END chronic pain and migraines, 
though no testing has
ever been done to study the "hows" of it. Anyways, the dosage is 
25MG once a day at
bedtime. I kid you not, I went from 2 migraines a week, to NONE in a 
month, and have
not had but ONE since (about 6  months ago). SO... I advise you ask 
your doctor about

low dose Amitriptylin.

2006-11-10 Thread Hideyo Yamamoto
I have used homeopathy in my cats for the past 10 years and I have seen
so many miracles with some of them.. Often times, allopathic medicine
will treat the symptoms by suppressing them, but not necessary to cure
the underlying cause of the problems, therefore, there are lots of
limitations to what it can do -- again, I try to use homeopathic remedy
before I start using antibiotics or steroid whenever I can.

I don't want people to associate this person who kelly was referring to
the contributions of what homeopathic can bring to our lives  --
homeopathy works -- but legitimacy of how this person practices
homeopathy is a different issue - I know of this person that Kelly is
referring to as I have used her --

Re: Homoepathic SCAM??

2006-11-10 Thread Nina




Thanks for mentioning Darla, Michelle.  There are many good people out
there that are experienced with "healing modalities" that share their
knowledge because they care.  Usually their demeanor and price reflect
this, (whether in person, or through email).  A former list member,
Sally, had dealings with, (I'm pretty darn sure), the woman Kelly is
referencing.  Same mo, same pricey hard to get service with little
proof of historic results.  Sally has been dealing with death after
death at her house and was quite desperate.  If she had the money, I
think she might have tried harder to be one of the selected few that
got this woman's attention.  Tsk, tsk, such a shame.

  The homeopath that Nina referred me to charged $40 once, and
emailed with me, I would guess, at least 15 or 20 times.  At one point
I offered to send her more money since I was emailing her so much, and
she said no.  And the nosodes themselves, which I bought somewhere
else, were not very expensive. So yes, she sounds like a scam.

That's great news![EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hi all,  It's been awhile since I've been here but I wanted to share my good news and perhaps give the group a little more data for the collective FELV knowledge base you've got going here.     To start at the end, Saturday my girls were retested and while Lucy is still positive, Izzie has thrown it and is now negative! Yippee Izzie!     I thought it might be helpful for those of you with questions about "throwing it" to have a timeline:     March 15 - I adopted Lucy and Izzie, sisters, at age 4 months, supposedly both FELV negative.  April - May - Lucy had recurring URI's, she would get sick, I'd put her on antibiotics, a week after she was off of them she'd get sick again.  May 29th
 - Lucy tested FELV positive, Izzie negative. This led to some agonizing on my part about whether or not to keep them together. Thanks in large part to the information I got from this group, I kept them together knowing that Izzie could wind up positive, but willing to take the risk.  July 7th - Izzie gets spayed and tests positive. The vet tells me there is "virtually no chance" Izzie will throw it and that most likely the May negative on Izzie was false.  October 28th - the vet retests (she didn't want to because she was convinced Izzie was still positive but I insisted because I had a "feeling", I also gently reminded her that they told me Lucy wouldn't make it to her first birthday, a birthday which is next Monday and she appears to have no intention of not making it!) And now Izzie is negative!      My best guess is that Lucy was exposed at the shelter to a pos kitty and for some reason it didn't enter Izzie's system
 until late June or early July and Izzie was able to fight it. They are amazing little best friends and I think Izzie is going to help keep Lucy healthy!!     Maggie

The homeopath that Nina referred me to charged $40 once, and emailed with 
me, I would guess, at least 15 or 20 times.  At one point I offered to send 
her more money since I was emailing her so much, and she said no.  And the 
nosodes themselves, which I bought somewhere else, were not very expensive. So 
yes, she sounds like a scam.

I'm working on it.  She is such a sweet little cat, and was such a hard luck kitty when she showed up on my porch skinny as a rail, immensely pregnant, and MAYBE 10 months old at best.  I have never seen a cat with no comprehension of a litter box.  I don't understand.  So, yeah, trainingthis isn't retaliatory pooping or uncontrollable squirtsshe just seems not to understand.  She is such a nice cat that I think, once I get it across to her that I would really appreciate it if she would poop in the box, I'm sure she will go along with it for my sake.  She's such a nice little girl.     What is even more puzzling is that Sylvia, possibly Hannah's sister or cousin -- another bowlegged, sway-backed, tabby/white, under-a-year, hugely pregnant and very hungry girl from the same location has no litterbox issues.  But Hannah does.  This is a first for me.  We just keep picking up the poop and
 shaking our heads.  Normally there is a behavioral or physical explanation but here it seems that she just doesn't understand."Rosenfeldt, Diane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  Oh dear.  Have you physically put her in the box and "helped" her scratch the litter with her paw, like they tell you to do with kittens?  I guess it doesn't always come naturally.     Our sweet Doyle, no other health issues, is a big fraidy cat.  He's low on the pecking order,
 so is intimidated by all the others.  Even my mild-mannered Luc has terrorized him from time to time.  Doyle has taken to staying on the kitchen windowsill or on the adjoining counter ALL the time.  We don't know how he eats but he obviously does.  Now he's started pooping and peeing on the floor right below the window, he's too scared to zoom across the kitchen to the 2 other boxes in adjoining rooms.  Tonight we're going to fix up a litterbox under the kitchen table, which is used mainly to keep the Fritos off the floor anyway.  Don't like the idea of a litterbox right in the kitchen, but the pee and poop is hardly less sanitary... We've been carrying Doyle into the living room for a little while every night, and he'll sit quietly for a bit, but we have to make sure to carry him back to the kitchen, because every time he tries to make his own way, Tribble ambushes him.  Tribble has no claws, and Doyle does, but apparently neither of
 them realize this.     Diane R.

same thing goes with critters as with people--we get so desperate to find answers--ANY answers--and we leave ourselves wide open to the sort of individuals who claimed to have lost relatives in the WTC, or to have lost things in the hurricanes, and who have been appointed by some cosmic muffin as THE only-one-who-knows. i think a lot of folks fall into their traps because it would never occur to us to try to take advantage of tragedy, so we just don't believe anyone else would, too.

tiles, that's why you're having so many problems. Try drenching the entire floor 
with vinegar, and letting it sit for a good long time before mopping it 
up.

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

2006-11-10 Thread Susan Hoffman
People tell me that my house has NO cat odor.  I am always surprised and relieved.  My house can't stink because I do adoptions (of carefully pre-screened potential adopters) at my home.  My house is cleaner now than when I had just my own 4 personal cats when I first moved here.  As best that I can determine, here's what works:     1.  We scoop litterboxes twice a day and ALWAYS before someone comes to visit, and we use scoopable litter.  2.  I have Chlorox bleach sheets in every room so that I can get them quick for cleanups.  3.  When I scrub floors I use A-33 which deodorizes and disinfects.  4.  I am not above spritzing citrus air freshners around before I answer the door.  5.  My vaccuum is one of those wet/dry shop vacs with a 5 hp  motor -- the kind generally associated with construction sites.  That baby could suck up the entire
 contents of a litterbox without even burping.  (It has eaten a few of the cats' toys but no kittens have turned up missing.)  6.  I do A LOT of laundry, and will add bleach to almost any load.     This is all with wall to wall carpeting.  We are right now in the process of replacing the carpeting with wood laminate.  I  can hardly wait.  Right now I spend way too much time cleaning.  The laminate will be so much easier.    Evan & Dee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  I like that idea !!Nina wrote: I know it's not funny, but I'm laughing at the thought that we've found one more thing we all share in common:WE

RE: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

2006-11-10 Thread Rosenfeldt, Diane



Oh dear.  Have you physically put her in the box and 
"helped" her scratch the litter with her paw, like they tell you to do with 
kittens?  I guess it doesn't always come naturally.
 
Our sweet Doyle, no other health issues, is a big fraidy 
cat.  He's low on the pecking order, so is intimidated by all the 
others.  Even my mild-mannered Luc has terrorized him from time to 
time.  Doyle has taken to staying on the kitchen windowsill or on the 
adjoining counter ALL the time.  We don't know how he eats but he obviously 
does.  Now he's started pooping and peeing on the floor right below the 
window, he's too scared to zoom across the kitchen to the 2 other boxes in 
adjoining rooms.  Tonight we're going to fix up a litterbox under the 
kitchen table, which is used mainly to keep the Fritos off the floor 
anyway.  Don't like the idea of a litterbox right in the kitchen, but the 
pee and poop is hardly less sanitary... We've been carrying Doyle into the 
living room for a little while every night, and he'll sit quietly for a bit, but 
we have to make sure to carry him back to the kitchen, because every time he 
tries to make his own way, Tribble ambushes him.  Tribble has no claws, and 
Doyle does, but apparently neither of them realize this.

Ember -- my depo-medrol boy with chronic skin allergies -- will pee in the 
box but poop on the linoleum near the back door (this is the laundry room where 
we have several boxes).  This was wearing on meuntil Hannah 
arrived.  A sweet little former momcat who will poop wherever she 
stands.  I don't get it.  The poop is solid.  She's a nice 
cat.  No one picks on her.  We have 6 boxes in 3 different parts of 
the house, scooped twice daily.  She hasn't a vindictive or nasty bone in 
her body.  She was spayed months ago so it isn't hormonal.  It's like 
she just doesn't understand the litterbox.  (Any 
thoughts/suggestions?  She is FIV+ but I don't think that has anything to 
do with it.)  I'm thinking about confining her to a codo cage at night and 
when we aren't home, and keeping an eye on her when we are around so I can catch 
her in the act and carry her -- poop plopping as we go -- to the nearest litter 
box, where of course she will be praised like she had just uncovered the key to 
attaining worlkd peace.

Serious question, all of us love our cats and are often in desperate

frightens people in to following her  plan and charges a lot of 
money, she has made a claim on her site that she has an over 50% 
success rate with FIP cats, yet she refuses to give any references,

I am sure there are good , professional Homeopaths out there getting 
a bad reputation from what I see as scam artists. Please share your

Re: Question about a ruptured disc

2006-11-10 Thread Jennifer Phaewryn O'Gwynn



Hi Beth,
 
I had a cat that had a broken back (it 
was the vertebrae, not the disk) and she recovered WONDERFULLY with just cage 
rest and antinflammatories. 
I made a webpage that shows her story, 
if you're interested:
http://ucat.us/Bones-Recovery.html 
 
I also had a cat that was worse off than 
her BEFORE I LEARNED THAT PARALYSIS IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE THAT I 
EUTHANISED, AND IT'S BEEN WEIGHING ON MY CONSCIOUS FOR YEARS! Your vet sounds 
like the one I had back then, didn't give me any hope, offered no suggestions or 
options other than euthanasia. BUT, there are options! For one thing, the 
surgery to stabilize the back will relieve the pain, but it may not cure 
the paralysis. That's OK, really, I know it doesn't SOUND ok, but it is! They 
make CARTS, like kitty wheelchairs, for them. The vet wont even tell you, most 
of them don't, because they are just negative people, but it's a option. Plus, 
many cats actually learn to drag their hind end, and are happy with that. You 
should join handicats, and ask this question there, they will give you lots of 
advice and support.
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/HANDICATS2/ 
 
I have a section on my website about the 
carts, and how to care for a paralyzed cat:
http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html 

Scroll down to the section that says

Re: Question about a ruptured disc

2006-11-10 Thread Belinda
  I would at the very least get a second opinion from the specialists 
and if he isn't in pain, why would he need to be euthanized?  Is he 
paralyzed all over or just the back or front?  If he isn't in pain he 
could get a kitty cart, he would need special care so it would be up to 
whether or not you could give him the care he needs.

RE: dirty bum bum - OT (as if it needs to be pointed out)

2006-11-10 Thread Leslie
Hi Diane,
Thank you for the suggestion, that's a good one. 
 
To all of you who trim - you must be part magician, because as soon as I tried to focus on Bea's backside, she wanted to know what I was looking at and would turn around, as if to say, "Silly human, my face end is on the other side!"  She was really very concerned with my sanity and as a result several snips of hair were taken nowhere near the target zone.  We'll keep trying.

From: "Rosenfeldt, Diane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Subject: RE: dirty bum bum - OT (as if it needs to be pointed out)
Blessedly, we have mostly shorthairs plus one fairly fastidiouslonghair, so I haven't had to test this, but I would think somethinglike a light cooking oil would help -- it would probably soften up the
clumpies, not dry any tender body part out, and not be harmful (andmarginally helpful with hairballs) for the cat to clean off later.Diane R.


Re: Scooter's Dental Problems; continued

Hi Peggy,I'm so sorry that Scooter's problem wasn't solved more quickly.  I'm glad that he's not stressed at the vets, I am sure that he will be just fine over the weekend.
 
Leslie
 
From: "Peggy Ankney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: Scooter's Dental Problems; continuedThanks everyone for your responses.  Scooter's blood work from Mondaywas good, says the vet (I asked for a copy of the results but I can'tinterpret any of the numbers). I took him back to the vet this morning
for his dental work.  They did an x-ray of his mouth and found a softtissue mass, which could be a tumor, behind his molar on one side.  So adental extraction isn't the answer.  His temperature was only slightly
elevated (102.8) but he was still very lethargic, though his lymph nodesweren't swollen, so he didn't have an obvious infection.  The vet gavehim fluids and monitored him through the day.  I stopped by on the way
home to see if he was any more alert, but he was sleeping (in the litterbox).  I pulled him out and laid him on the soft fleece they provided,and took the towel and toy mouse from the carrier and put them in with
him so he would have some familiar smells.  He just sat there while Ipetted him, but he did eat some canned food so that's a very good sign.The pain seems to be in his middle somewhere, because when I try to pick
him up that's when he growls.  Would a urinary track infection causethat?  I've decided I will likely keep him at the vet this weekend,since my husband and I are both going out of town.  I'd much rather he
was at home, but if he's still not eating or drinking at least this wayI can be sure he'll get food and water.  He didn't look like he wasbothered by being there - he's still kind of out of it.  In fact, hedidn't seem very stressed or very much different from when he was at
home.  I'm going to stop by again tomorrow afternoon on my way home fromwork.  I'll ask about the possibility of a urinary infection.  How wouldthey teest for that?The vet did say that the mass could be a tumor, which could be cancer.
He tried to get me to see that the outlook wasn't great since Scooterhas FeLV, but they are going to continue with antibiotics and monitorhis mouth to see if it clears up.  I'm hopeful, because of the way he
was eating the canned food tonight.  He hadn't had anything solid for acouple days.  The liver shakes were great - thanks to whoever sent inthe recipe.

while, but this is my first post.  I know this is off

someone can offer some help with this.

I have a cat, Louie, who has a ruptured disc.  He was

hurt last Wednesday (11/1) in an outside kennel - I

don't know how he was hurt, whether he jumped and

landed wrong or fell or what happened.  Took him to my

vet, he kept him to x-ray him the next morning.  When

I called to check on him, said he had a ruptured disc.

He put him on fluids, antibiotics and put in a

catheter.  He has had him & still has him. 
Yesterday,

he said that he didn't seem improved any, was

paralyzed, and although he didn't like to do it, he

recommended putting him to sleep.

When I called today to ask what would be done if

surgery was done.  He didn't answer that question, but

said that I would have to take him to the University

of GA Vet School where they would do an MRI and based

on a list of criteria they have, determine whether

surgery would help him or not.  I didn't ask if he

knew what the cost would be.

This cat is a former stray cat where I have several

that have come to my home (I live in a rural area).

As I couldn't take all of them into my house, we have

erected a 10' x 10' chain link kennel with a top &

that is where these cats stay.  I don't want to have

to put him to sleep unless it is the only way to keep

him from suffering, but I don't know if I can afford

to take him to the Vet School.  I don't want him to

suffer, but I don't want to end his life if I don't

have to do so.

Has anyone had any experience with anything like this?

If so, I'd appreciate any help & advice anyone could

offer.  I'm supposed to give my vet an answer as to

which way to go by Friday or Saturday at the latest.

Thanks so much to all of you for the help & love you

Re: Madison -fur missing under her chin

Hi Cindy,
It sounds like feline acne.  Do you use plastic dishes?  There are other 
conditions that resemble it.  It's good that you are keeping it clean, 
her chin can become infected if you don't take care of it.  Here's the 
first site I found when I Googled it: 
http://cats.about.com/cs/healthissues/a/acne.htm


If you suspect that's what she has, I'd treat it as acne.  If it doesn't 
get better soon, take her in to the vet and make sure it isn't something 
else.

Rotties need to be raised with care and respect, but I feel more

are easier to "read" than Dobbies.  Their facial expressions and body 
language signal what's going on in their heads and give more of an

Hi, sounds like feline acne.  Your vet can give you an ointment that will help clear it up.  Also, never use plastic food or water bowls, they get tiny scratches which harbor germs even when disinfected.  Use clean ceramic, glass, or stainless bowls daily.  My Blue had this, I was changing her water bowl and wet food dishes each day, but didn't think about the dish of dry food much.  I now dump her dry into a new bowl each day as well.

I thought about that.  The vet had told me before with
some of my other cats to use a stridex pad.  I used
that on her last night.  I thought I would wait a

Re: Question about a ruptured disc

2006-11-10 Thread Kat
Hi Beth,

Just some thoughts for you -

A ruptured disk can reheal - but it needs time
and alot of rest, and it can also be operated on.

A site with good info (even if it is D*g related) is:
http://www.vth.vt.edu/clientsvisitors/sa-factsheets/sa-factsheets.asp?ivd.txt
SMALL  ANIMAL  FACT  SHEETS  - INVERTERBRAL  DISC  DISEASE -

If Louie is paralyzed but is not in any pain - they do
make carts to help animals get around on their own - even
for tiny dogs (which may be a good size for a cat).

You are the only one who can look at Louie and judge his
quality of life/living conditions/etc.  That is what you
need to base your decisions on - how far away from the
vet school are you?

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

Nina and others have mentioned keeping closet doors closed.  But you may need to do more than that.  I currently have a foster cat that is VERY adept at opening closet doors...aaand locking himself inside.  (I've nicknamed him Tully after the character Lewis Tully in Ghostbusters who kept doing the same thing!)  It's not that he Can't get outits just more fun to sit in there and howl until I come looking for him.  My point being...you may want to rig the closet doors to be certain the cats can't possibly open them...Remember, they're cats..they're SNEAKY!!!Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:   I'm wondering if one of your little angels is marking your closet.

I noticed last night that my older kitty Madison has a
some fur missing under her chin.  When I looked at it
closer it looked like tiny black pieces of dirt in the
fur that was left.  It looked like flea dirt.  She
never goes outside but I know we can bring in fleas. 
I haven't noticed her scratching.  I tried to clean
the area really good.  Her skin looked like it might
be a little dry there too.  Anybody have any ideas?
