Kerry and Bandy
Kerry, How is Bandy today? I am sorry to hear that his eyes are having trouble. Did you take him to that specialist in Carrollton? Smookie is having trouble too. Please keep us posted on what the vet says and I'll keep Bandy in my prayers. :) Wendy --- Kerry Roach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I took Bandy to an eye specialist in Dallas on > Fri...as his sight has just been getting worse in > the last week or so...They changed his meds and > increased them to 4x a day..also put him on > zithromax for 5 days...he goes back in 2 weeks for a > re-check..The doctor did say that we might get some > of his vision back, but I don't think he was really > that hopeful...I can get him to play with his > string, but I don't know if he sees the shadow or > what...I am just glad he will do that...I am going > to keep everything the same for him so he won't have > any trouble finding anything... > Michelle, if you see this let me know if you have > any more info on the anterior uveitis..the doctor > did say, that he might have posterior, too...He said > there was so much inflammation in there, he couldn't > really tell... > Please pray for Bandy everyone... > Kerry and Bandy > > > - > Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

Re: Kerry and Bandy
Hi Wendy, Sorry I haven't answered this as I haven't had a chance to even get on the computer.. Bandy's seems to be able to see a little now...the doctor upped his eye meds, but didn't give us much hope...we go back on Thurs for a re-check..It takes us a little over 2 hrs to get there...It is the Animal Opthamology Clinic located off Trinity Mills and the toll road..It is in the Veterinary Referral Center of North Texas...same place his internal med doctor is located...Have you ever been there? Anyway, I guess the ringworm is getting better on BAndy and Inky...I am having a terrible time with Inky's as he won't quit scratching it...and he keeps it all bleeding.. I will let you know what they say on Thurs.. Kerry, Bandy and Inky and Angels Buster, Lil Rascal and Snoopy Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Re: Kerry and Bandy
Kerry, I really do highly recommend the soft paws claw covers. At least temporarily, so he doesn't make himself bleed! I did it to Mythic when he was digging holes in himself, it helps a LOT! makes them mad, but helps...

Re: Kerry and Bandy
I HIGHLY recommend Soft Claws too! I've been using them for years for a variety of reasons. If you're not comfortable putting them on yourself, many vets and groomers will do it for a small fee and it's well worth it.

Re: Kerry and Bandy
Hey Kerry, I have not been to that clinic but a vet told me about it when I brought Smookie in regarding her eye. We're still fighting the ulcer. I take her in today to get looked at by another vet and if he can't get that white spot to go away, we'll be visiting the clinic in a week or so. I'm so glad to hear that Bandy can see some and hopefully that will continue to improve. I hate ringworm. It's a nasty fungus!!! I hope you get good news Thursday. Keep me posted! :) Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
For Kerry and Bandy
Below is a link to an herb mix from Robert MacDowell that might help Bandy. I found his formulas incredibly helpful (surprisingly so) for my dog Fern when she had cancer (though she was on lots of things and I can not attribute it to his herbs, she lives three times longer than her maximum prognosis) and for my own endometriosis (it is the only thing besides precription medicine that has lessened the pain). He just started making formulas for cats, though, and I do not know how much he has studied cat anatomy and drug reactions. This formula has White Willow in it, which is the plant that aspirin is derived from, and aspiring in anything but very small doses can kill cats. I assume that using a few drops of a tincture derived from the whole plant is probably ok (a baby aspiring every few days is also ok), but if you decide you are interested in this, I would email him to ask him specifically about this issue.

Re: For Kerry and Bandy
Michelle, I will look at that to see if it might help him...I do think it could be arthritis of some kind...cause it is in the other leg today...front only..he seems to be giving to it some and not getting out of his box hardly at all..He is eating though so that is a good thing, but not drinking enough...so I hope he doesn't get dehydrated again...I gave him a pain pill little while ago...I am considering 1/4 baby aspirin, too if he isn't some what relieved by the pain pill...I think he needs some anti-inflammatory meds...I do have some kitty MSM...with some other things in it...you give 1 daily in food... I think I may have to take him back to Dallas to his internal med spec cause I think they are the only ones that can really find out what is going on here...My vet did mention a couple of weeks ago multiple myeloma...but the xrays didn't show anything...I don't think that is it either, or I sure hope not. I don't know if he was checked for calici or not..I will mention it as I think I am going to take him to the vet on Wed..since he has an eye appt. in Dallas on Thurs...and that is a 7 hr round trip...I don't want to take him unless he feels better...so I would feel better if she sees him here before we try to make that trip..and maybe he could get a dex injection which always seems to make him feel better...Seems that when that wears off, he gets down again even though this time, he went over 2 wks without a fever... It is driving me crazy though...he has been feeling so good and walking around since he got over this last episode which was a bad one...now I really just don't know what to think.. Anyway, thanks for the info and I will check it all out asap.. Hope Lucy is doing better, Kerry and Bandy Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail Beta.
