RE: Ewok update!
That's just such great news Jen. May you and Ewok have lots more time (and equally happy times) together. Sounds like he enjoyed his vacation with your Mom too!

Re: Ewok update!
That's nice news, Jen. It is bittersweet, I know, but I'm glad you're enjoying your time with Ewok. I have an older cat (negative) starting to decline that refuses to be medicated. I know how you feel when thinking about the time you have left.t[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All!Hope everybody's holiday was a good one!

Re: Ewok update!
Thanks for the update Jen. Prayers and good energy for Ewok to continue doing so well! I'm praying that the steroids and your love shrink that tumor and he becomes an even bigger xmas miracle boy.

Re: Ewok update!
Jen, I am so glad he is doing well! Dex is really an amazing drug, in terms of how fast it makes them feel better. I am so glad your vet gave you a shot to take with you. I never heard of Ceenu, so am not sure it is CCNU. If it isn't, I would love to hear more about it and file the info in my drug archives. Happy Holidays! And thanks for the update!
