I'm so sorry for your loss Marissa. Slinky had a wonderful life with you,
and that sounds like the best and most peaceful euthanasia I've ever heard
of - everything seemed to just flow and work out. I'm so glad it went
smoothly, and he was so at peace. You absolutely did the right thing. I know
it's really hard, but please take solace in the fact that you did the VERY
BEST for him, and he is now at peace. My thoughts go out to you.

Sorry for the loss of Hammy, Sherry. May his spirit find peace.

Re: Good Bye Mama Kitty

I'm so sorry for your loss Elizabeth. She knew love in your care, and died
knowing that someone really cared about her, and that's as much as any of us
can hope for. Peace to both of you.

Re: OT - times like these are when I wish I had a camera!

Well, the verdict is in, the Felidae dry is barely edible. They really don't
think much of it. They will, however eat it if they are truly hungry. In my
case, that's not a bad thing, as I have a house full of obese beasties, so
not eating as much is a good thing (and it's got 4% fiber, and Tang DOES
need higher fiber, and that is higher than many other options out there).
Yes, I will sign up for the breeder/rescue program! thanks for the tip. Now,
as to the canned food, they liked the Felidae canned, they ate it fine, no
complaints, but they LOVED, and I mean totally LOVED, the Merrick canned.
Since it's only about $3-$4 more a case, I will probably give them the
Merrick canned. Try the southern delight flavor if you want to try it as a
treat, they totally loved it! The ingredients are chicken, chicken broth,
catfish, crawfish, brown rice, carrots, zucchini, apples.. and then a few
questionable things like olive oil, cassia gum, and carrageenan and then
just vitamins and such (and yucca, which I think is pointless,
personally)... but fairly far down the ingredient list, I think it's an
acceptable food (even if I do think carrots, zucchini and apples are stupid
cat food ingredients, the cats LOVED it). Protein 10%, Fat 3%, fiber 1.5%,
moisture 78%, ash 1.80%, magnesium .025%, taurine .08%, and 1025 kcal/kg.
Says feed one 5.5 OZ can per 6 LBS weight per day (so it must be fairly
rich, as that's NOT much food per day). It had some chunks of fish in it,
not all just puree, looks more like fancy feast type stuff. In the time it
took me to type this, they finished eating, and I now have FIVE very content
and happy looking cats on my bed half of which are about to be evicted,
as I am going to sleep now! Just wanted to type the quick food review, in
case anyone else is looking for new alternatives. I highly recommend the
Merrick canned.

  Hi all.  I guess I need to complete the updates on Slinky, huh?  

  Yes, he went to the bridge last night.  I was having second thoughts all day 
yesterday...he, of course, perked up a bit, sat in the window sill again 
(hadn't done that in ages), and was still drinking, eating, and breathing fine. 
 I even started to wonder if his nose looked pinker.

  But I decided to go to the vet appointment and ask her what she thought - and 
that all important question, "what would you do if he were your kitty?"  

  Right before we left I think I finally understood that it really was time.  
It occurred to me that on Sunday he was very cuddly with me and initiating some 
cuddle time on his own.  But yesterday he didn't want anything to do with me.  
And when we left the vet on Monday, someone said he'd tell me when it was time, 
and I remember thinking, "I think he already has told me" but I didn't want to 
believe it.  I think his spirit left on Sunday...I think all that cuddling was 
him saying goodbye and beginning to get ready for the journey.

  So we went to the vet and I asked her if she thought his nose looked pinker.  
She looked at his gums, etc. and assured me that they were not.  I was tempted 
to have her do another CBC, but that seemed like just adding to the torture 
he'd already been through.  Without my even asking, the vet said, "If this were 
my cat, this is what I would be doing.  Not only is he not getting any better, 
but he's actually getting steadily worse...and he's just going to suffer if we 
wait much longer."  She of course pointed out that I had the option of waiting, 
but that seemed like it would just drag out the inevitable.  He was so weak the 
last couple days that he couldn't even get back on the bed once he'd gotten 
down.

  The vet explained everything in detail and even shaved some of his fur for me 
since I'd forgotten I wanted a sample (good cuz what she got was way better 
than anything I could've gotten with a scissors).  Then she gave him the 
tranquilizer (I think she did it quickly so I wouldn't have time to change my 
mind...knowing that was best for me and for Slinky).  She said it would take a 
few minutes for it to work, so they left and I just held him and cried and told 
him how much I loved him.  Thanked him for letting me share in his life and 
told him I was giving him the only gift I could at this point.  The room we 
were in had a beautiful painting of the bridge, so I showed it to him and told 
him that was where he was going.  

  They had put a sheep skin-like pad on the table and when they came back I 
laid him on that and put his head on his favorite pillow (he loved to knead on 
this "sqush" pillow I have).  She thought they might have to put a catheter in 
his front leg to get the needle in since his veins were so small, but she was 
able to do it in his back leg.  Once it was in, I just held him and cried and 
cried some more.  But I know he was in peace.

  He visited me this morning - as I was waking up I could hear the birds 
outside my window and I distinctly heard a meow (I remember thinking that I 
didn't know of a bird that meowed).  When it happened I got chills.  And when I 
woke up fully I realized that he was letting me know that he's happy and he 
loves me.  

  I'm actually doing much better than I expected to be.  After the vet 
appointment my friend took me out to dinner and then to ben and jerry's 
(self-medicating is always good!), which distracted me and that helped a lot.  
Of course when I got home I completely lost it, but I knew that would happen.  
I called "dad" and he was wondeful about telling me I did all the right things, 
that he loves me, and not to worry about paying all those bills back 'till some 
time in the future.  

  Today I relaxed in the morning and then went and got my hair cut (my stylist 
is "dad's" partner and the owner of the salon...so he has lots of experience 
with losing kitties) and did some shopping.  I got a stuffed kitty that looks 
just like Slinky, so he'll be my new sleeping buddy.  I thought I would lose it 
when I came home tonight, but I just choked up for a bit and really was okay.  
I know all the prayers and thoughts everyone is sending me are helping a ton!!! 
 I think half the population of the US is praying for me and checking on me!

  You guys

Marissa,

Thanks for letting us know about Slink. Even though I was expecting  
to read this, I prayed that the situation would turn around for him,  
somehow. Pretty normal to hope until the last, but you obviously did  
the right thing for him by helping him to leave. I'm glad you got a  
meow from him. Take care.

  Hi Wendy,
  He is eating it's just a matter of eating enough and getting his meds 
into him, he isn't very cooperative with that.  He gets blood pressure 
meds and potassium supplements neither which comes in an injectable form 
that would be realistic.  I have to pill him 3 times a day, it's not the 
getting the pill in him, I can do that with some struggle but getting 
him to eat or drink after to make sure it goes down is the problem.  
Sometimes he'll drink a little milk or eat a bite after sometimes he 
won't, pills sitting in the esophagus can cause serious problems, we 
don't need anymore problems right now!!

It just leaves such a big hole in your heart, I know.   They do let you

hypothethical question....

2007-03-28 Thread JENI RECA


Hi,
I was discussing feluk and feluk exposed cats and someone asked me this 
question and what would I do, I still am thinking of the answer, and was 
curious what other people would answer;


question: feluk exposed cat 6 months, that was neg on ifa and elisa, but 
liter mate was postive on both tests, and then seperated, after being 
together for 6 months.  would you feel that it was ethical to place the cat 
up for adoption with no mention of the cat being feluk exposed  or do you 
feel it is your ethical duty to let the adopter know that it was exposed to 
feluk(also take into consideration that the cat might be up for adoption 
a long time, since a lot of people shy away from feluk)

and
also if placing with a rescue, telling or not and also if telling they 
wouldn't take the cat?


I was curious what other people would do...
Thanks
Jeni

Don't forget to sign up for the breeder/rescue program.  You will get 1 free
for every 5 you buy of the 16 lb, 20 lb and cases of canned food.  It helps
a lot.

On 3/27/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


 I just got back from the store, cat food shopping (sigh). I decided on
Felidae Platinum dry and Felidae chicken & rice and chicken, turkey, lamb
&fish canned food (which supposedly are NOT made at ANY menu foods plant). I
also picked up a couple of cans of Merrick canned as well, to try (also on
the list as NOT made by menu foods). Anyways... I just filled the bowl in
the kitchen with the new dry food, and they were all sampling it, then
Doobie walks over to the bag (which I had propped up against the wall with
the front against the wall), and he is, no kidding here, looking dead
straight at the ingredient list on the back of the bag... READING THE LABEL!
I swear, if he's not reading the label, it's just too much of a coincidence!
His nose was almost touching the very center of the ingredient list, LOL!

Anyways, cuteness aside, they seem to like it OK, they aren't THRILLED,
but they are all eating it. Downside, it's got fairly big bone shaped
kibbles... and Tang has no teeth, so I'm not sure if he will be able to eat
it very well (swallowing it whole may be a challenge). I'll let you guys
know how the canned goes over later tonight at wet food dinner time. I
really liked the ingredients in the Solid Gold canned, but it's beyond our
reach financially. The Felidae wasn't bad really, the 16 pound bag was
only $23. The canned I got was all they had in stock... small 5.5 OZ cans,
at $0.89 a can, but they said they could order the big 13 OZ cans at $1.19
each. I can afford that. The ferals will probably remain on the healthwise
dry food, Natura says it's made at their own plant, unlike their canned
foods, so it should be fine. As bad as I hate supporting menu foods by
buying from someone that uses them... the healthwise is really economical
for as many wild animals as steals the feral's food.

Re: Stamp

Thank you for asking. unfortunately I did not get home at lunch today (I saw a 
dog loose in the bank parking lot and spent my lunch hour unsuccessfully 
chasing him), so I haven't seen him since the am and am getting anxious to get 
home.

  He just kind of flops down next to me and lays stretched out and breathes 
heavily.He looks at me and cries.  I wake up in the middle of the night to 
check to see if he is still there. He runs out in the main part of the house, 
which I don't like because then he eats the clumping litter.

  I'm supposed to go to the shelter tomorrow night to clean, but I told them I 
needed to be with him instead.

Re: Fred Update


Belinda,
I'm so sorry for your upset at this newest development with Fred.  
Please do your best to stop kicking yourself, (go ahead and kick 
others), for the "whys" of Fred's infection.  I know how difficult it 
must be with all your worries about the future, but do your best to 
enjoy how happy Fred is at this moment.  It's so telling that he has 
gone back to his old ways when he was able to remove the tube.  I know 
how important it is to you to make use of every medical advantage in 
helping Fred extend his life, but try to let go of that, at least for a 
moment, and fully enjoy his small pleasures with him.   Give that boy of 
yours a head butt from his Auntie Nina.  Who knows, if you approach the 
argument in just the right way, (please do it for mother!), if you 
figure out ways to get his meds into him in less stressful ways, 
(transdermals and/or injections perhaps?), you may be able to continue 
to treat him and give him a better quality of life at the same time.

My prayers are with you,
Nina

Belinda wrote:

Hi All,
 I was going to have them put another tube in but I think they 
would have to wait 2 or 3 weeks because his infection isn't gone yet 
and they said we would have to wait for that to completely heal.  But 
I have already decided to wait on the tube because it is so obvious 
that Fred is a different cat without it.  He slept on my pillow for 
the first time in 6 weeks, coincidentally about as long as he had his 
tube.  Even Mike, my hubby noticed the difference, Fred was scratching 
on the bathroom door wanting in while hubby was in there this morning, 
something he did every morning before he got the tube but not once after.


My greatest concern is getting his meds into him and getting him to 
eat enough.  Gave him his blood pressure meds this morning and it 
wasn't pretty, I can get the pills into him, it's getting him to drink 
or eat something after to make sure they go down and don't sit in his 
throat.  I've made a deal with him that if he learns to cooperate with 
meds and eats better in the next 2 or 3 weeks we will put off the 
feeding tube indefinitely, so we'll see what happens.


I'm going to ask my vet about injections for his potassium supplement 
and find out if his norvasc can be compounded or if it comes in an 
injectable, I think I already called the companies that sell it and I 
don't think it can be made into an injectable but I really don't 
remember.  It's been a very trying 6 weeks, Fred's had an infection 
for pretty much most of that time.


I'm worried about what the future holds but I'm really going to try 
and just take it one day at a time.

I'm writing to the list for prayers, strength and love to be sent to our

dear friend Hideyo.  She has had so many losses, so much pain and 
sadness, so much strife, she could so use our strength right now.  It 
has been difficult for her to find time to participate in the list 
lately.  She has stoically been dealing with loss after loss, and still,

when I asked for her help in interpreting Joey's test results she wrote 
back immediately.  I have never met a more giving unselfish heart as 
Hideyo.  You may not agree with where her decisions take her, but they 
are always made from a place of love and giving.  I wish there was more 
that I could do to relieve her burdens.  Sometimes knowing that you are 
not alone, knowing that others care and are sending good thoughts and 
blessings your way can help rally our fortitude and get us through the 
worst of times.  Hideyo is such an unsung hero and I'm proud to call her

friend.

Re: Good Bye Mama Kitty


Yes, Mama Kitty was quite pregnant when she chose this as her home.  The
little runt from that litter is Tori. Tori lives here with me and looks so
much like her mother.  Tori doesn't have feline leukemia.  I helped to birth
her and get her breathing - Mama Kitty was so exhausted at that point - I
would cut the cords and bring the last few babies up to her to clean them.
She was a wonderful Mommy.  Tori almost didn't make it but she was
determined.  "Tori" for short because she was 'Victorious" in her struggle
to live.  I helped to bottle feed her too - poor Mama just wasn't born with
enough feeding stations for everyone.  I see Mama Kitty everytime I look at
Tori.  Tori is a big, healthy girl now.

Re: Good Bye Mama Kitty

Oh Elizabeth, words can not express my condolences for the loss of Mama 
Kitty.  My first reaction was anger, (I actually cursed at the screen), 
then reading about how ready she was to go, the flood gates opened and I 
cried right along side you.  Thank you for letting us know about her 
message to you, with those purrs I felt a wave of gratitude from her for 
the love you shared.  I feel blessed in knowing you and your allowing us 
to be a small part of your lives together.  I believe with all my heart 
the purrs you heard were Mama comforting you, letting you know that she 
will always be with you and that you did exactly the right thing, (not 
just at the end of her life, but all along your journey together).  It 
gives me comfort to think of her sunning herself on the porch; sleeping 
with you; of how you were in tune enough with her to make sure she spent 
her days the way she wanted to as best you could.  I think the way she 
chose to transition was a gift to you.  She had quality time up until 
the end, (even giving you warning as much as a year before to prepare 
you and alert you to live in the moment with her), and when she was 
ready, she expressed it in a way that could leave no doubt in your mind 
that it was the right decision to help her pass.  What a loving little 
soul she is.  I just want you to know that Mama kitty and your love for 
each other has touched my heart.  Your sweet Angel lives with me too now.

Watch for her Elizabeth, she will be back,
Nina

To Marissa

Hi Marissa,

I knew you were taking Slinky for pts yesterday
evening, but hadn't heard anything since, so I guess I
was secretly hoping he had rallied at the last minute
and was still here.  After reading your post to
Elizabeth, I know that is not the case, and I wanted
to tell you how sorry I am that Slinky had to leave
you.  I hope you are doing ok.  Please let us know if
you need anything or just to talk/vent.  We're here
for you.  

:)

let them put her in the pet taxi - she always hated it)...I lifted her from
the front seat, wrapped in her towel, tears streaming down my face.  I swear

There is nothing I wouldn't have done for her - no matter how much it
cost...but no amount of money could have given her back her quality of
life.  I believe that to have kept going by extreme measures would have been
selfish of me.  She made it almost a year after her first crash with an
excellent quality of life.  This all happened so fast.

I am so glad she slept with me last night.  She knew that she was loved.  I
am so grateful for the time we had together.

This is so very hard.  We had such a close bond.

Re: Good Bye Mama Kitty

Thank you, Diana.  I just replied to Leslie explaining what happend.  She
went downhill very fast.  I knew that at some point last night she was
having more than one seizure an hour and I knew that was bad.  I had hoped
so much that this was something that could be controlled but it was not to
be.  I really think now that last summer when she had the seizure with the
pet tinic that it was more related to the disease.

Possibly Very Important for FeLV kitties: IV Vitamin C being given for human cancer patients; FDA has recently approved

Hi guys,

I have a friend who's husband just went through chemo
for thyroid cancer (neck area). He's in his late
twenties/early thirties. He is cancer-free now, thank
the good Lord. She is a pharmaceutical rep. We were
talking Sunday about Vitamin C and how it helped me to
stop getting sick so much after I first started
teaching, and somehow we got on the topic of cats and
vitamin C being used to strengthen their immune
systems. She told me through her research while her
husband was sick, that she found recently that Vitamin
C is now being given intraveneously to cancer patients
who have lymphoma and breast cancer, as well as other
cancers, and that they are responding to it very well.
She said that the vitamin C once injected into the
bloodstream either turns into or produces hydrogen
peroxide, which travels through the blood stream,
completely annihiliates the cancer cells and
strengthens the good cells. As I understand it,
cancer cells themselves are weak cells so they are
easy to destroy; the problem with them is that they
multiply easily, which is why cutting into cancer
cells to remove them backfires often because the whole
cancer cell(s) isn't always removed and new cancer
cells grow from them. The bad thing about chemo is
that yes, it does destroy cancer cells but it also
destroys many of the good cells too. I think the
numbers she quoted were with chemo, 85%+ of the bad
cells can be destroyed, but 20-85% of the good cells
are destroyed too. With Vitamin C, the studies are
showing a better destruction rate of the cancer cells,
and no destruction of the good cells. She said that
the FDA has recently approved trials using the IV
Vitamin C.

Here is an article on that:
http://www.physorg.com/news87833644.html

I thought this was so important and wanted to share it
with you guys, not only for our furbabies with
leukemia, but also for those of you who have family
members or friends who have or have had cancer. I
have no idea how a cat's body would react to having
Vitamin C injected into it's blood stream, but I would
be VERY interested if the veterinary colleges have
done any studies on this and what the outcome was. I
did read that intraveneous vitamin c is given, along
with other things, to treat acetaminophen toxicity in
animals.
(www.manhattancats.com/Articles/toxic_tragediesl.html)

I also found this quote: Ascorbate when used at the
proper high levels is a non-toxic, non-specific,
therapeutic virucidal agent (Stone, 1972)" in this
website/article on :
http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/197x/belfield-w-j_int_assn_prev_med-1978-v2-n3-p10.htm

The article is from 1975 in a veterinary medicine
journal and written by two vets. I also read this
paragraph in that article: "One of us (one of the two
vets who wrote the article) has been using megascorbic
veterinary therapy in the viral diseases for the past
eight years although the rationale was not too clear
in the early treatments. All that was known was that
it worked and gave successful results where other
treatments failed. We now know that we are merely
duplicating and aiding a normal mammalian protective
mechanism against disease stress by providing enough
ascorbate to maintain biochemical homeostasis. This
normally is the function of the mammalian liver but
for some reason the liver enzymes do not seem to
produce enough ascorbate, fast enough during disease
stress in these small mammals. This successful therapy
may be regarded as an application of veterinary
orthomolecular medicine."

And this paragraph: "The intravenous use of ascorbate
is especially valuable in the therapy of the viral
diseases as it appears to be an effective,
non-specific, non-toxic virucidal agent. We have not
seen any viral disease that did not respond to this
treatment. Successful therapy appears to depend on
using it in sufficiently large doses."

Also, as I was reading through the vitamin C
Foundation's website, I did a search for feline, and
found the article linked below. It says that
hyper-oxygenation was found to 'get rid of' feline
leukemia. The article stated that the two basic types
of oxygen therapy are ozone blood infusion, and
absorption of oxygen water (hydrogen peroxide) at very
low concentrations. There's that hydrogen peroxide
again!

http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/oxygen.htm

It's about 2/3 down the way of the very long article
under Veterinary and Agricultural Applications. I
just went under Edit, Find, and typed in 'feline', and
it took me straight to the paragraph.

Has anyone heard about this? Is this another crack
pot cure? What do you think about all this???!

Thanks,
:)

Re: Fred Update

2007-03-28 Thread Beth Noren


Hi Belinda,
Glad to hear that Fred spirits are up.  Is there any way you could have a
syringe filled with water or tuna juice and maybe squirt it in after he gets
his pills?  I don't know how possible that would be if he's struggling, why
is it the ones that really really need the meds seem to be the ones who
fight it most?  So frustrating...

Good luck,
Beth


On 3/28/07, Belinda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


Hi All,
 I was going to have them put another tube in but I think they
would have to wait 2 or 3 weeks because his infection isn't gone yet and
they said we would have to wait for that to completely heal.  But I have
already decided to wait on the tube because it is so obvious that Fred
is a different cat without it.  He slept on my pillow for the first time
in 6 weeks, coincidentally about as long as he had his tube.  Even Mike,
my hubby noticed the difference, Fred was scratching on the bathroom
door wanting in while hubby was in there this morning, something he did
every morning before he got the tube but not once after.

My greatest concern is getting his meds into him and getting him to eat
enough.  Gave him his blood pressure meds this morning and it wasn't
pretty, I can get the pills into him, it's getting him to drink or eat
something after to make sure they go down and don't sit in his throat.
I've made a deal with him that if he learns to cooperate with meds and
eats better in the next 2 or 3 weeks we will put off the feeding tube
indefinitely, so we'll see what happens.

I'm going to ask my vet about injections for his potassium supplement
and find out if his norvasc can be compounded or if it comes in an
injectable, I think I already called the companies that sell it and I
don't think it can be made into an injectable but I really don't
remember.  It's been a very trying 6 weeks, Fred's had an infection for
pretty much most of that time.

I'm worried about what the future holds but I'm really going to try and
just take it one day at a time.

pretty, I can get the pills into him, it's getting him to drink or eat 
something after to make sure they go down and don't sit in his throat. 
I've made a deal with him that if he learns to cooperate with meds and 
eats better in the next 2 or 3 weeks we will put off the feeding tube 
indefinitely, so we'll see what happens.

I'm going to ask my vet about injections for his potassium supplement 
and find out if his norvasc can be compounded or if it comes in an 
injectable, I think I already called the companies that sell it and I 
don't think it can be made into an injectable but I really don't 
remember. It's been a very trying 6 weeks, Fred's had an infection for 
pretty much most of that time.

I'm worried about what the future holds but I'm really going to try and 
just take it one day at a time.

Re: Fred Update

Obviously I am a big believer in AC whether you do it, an amateur does it or 
you hire a pro.  Try talking to Fred and explaining why he needs the meds 
and ask what you can do to make it easier.  The Royal Princess Kitty Katt 
told a group of acs that she would take some thyroid meds if they were in 
whipped cream (I didn't even know she knew what it was).  She did---for a 
while.


Also, try tasting some of the meds yourself.  If they are particularly awful 
put them very far back in the mouth or try coating them with something like 
cheese so they don't melt on him.


Just ideas.  Take what you think will help and leave the rest.  But please 
accept all the blessings for you, Fred and your family.  You are doing what 
is best for Fred in his entire being.







If you have men who will 
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of 
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with 
their fellow man.

Hi All,
 I was going to have them put another tube in but I think they would 
have to wait 2 or 3 weeks because his infection isn't gone yet and they 
said we would have to wait for that to completely heal.  But I have 
already decided to wait on the tube because it is so obvious that Fred is 
a different cat without it.  He slept on my pillow for the first time in 6 
weeks, coincidentally about as long as he had his tube.  Even Mike, my 
hubby noticed the difference, Fred was scratching on the bathroom door 
wanting in while hubby was in there this morning, something he did every 
morning before he got the tube but not once after.

Slinky - sad news

2007-03-28 Thread Lomaxturtle

Awww your story of telling slinky about friends at the bridge has just  
raised a few memories of my previous kitties. It is heartbreaking to go through 
 
this and my heart goes out to you and Slinky. Slinky will know you have done  
everything possible and are still helping him to feel better by helping him  
cross to the pain free bridge. So hard to let them go but Slinky is far better  
off with you helping him to cross over and having so much love and comfort  
throughout his journey xxx enjoy your time with him - quality time is priceless 
 
no matter how short that time maybe xxx
