Re: Please Help NewMember I'm scared
I am so sorry for the pain and confusion you must be having. I am using both colostrum (in the form of Just Born, a mother's milk substitute for new born kittens) and transfer factor with my FeLV + cat. I mix the transfer factor in the Just Born and she loves it. My alternative vet put my other cat on Intrasound Powder because she was diagnosed with cancer. The A V had used the powder on her uncle who suffered for several years with bladder cancer. He had no pain until his very last days. She also uses Macro Force (there are several other names for the same ingredients, I just don't know what they are) to build the immune system. I chose not to do chemo on Kitty (the one diagnosed with cancer) for a number of reasons, including, most importantly, what she told 4 animal communicators she wanted/didn't want. She is doing great. My A V is Dr. E A Boswell, 502.499.9663. She is in Louisville, Ky and I think she will consult by phone. If not, maybe she can recommend someone in your area. Dr. Boswell has helped me with several four legged friends and helped Mai Mai (the most beautiful dog in the world) when she was diagnosed with Auto Immune Hemophic Anemia (sp???).

Re: Please Help NewMember I'm scared
Lynne, I'm so sorry you and Frodo are going through this. I understand your fear and frustration. I don't know enough about his condition to advise you about what to expect from treatment. It seems to me the question you posed to the group is what you should ask the vet. What do they expect his quality of life will be like during and after treatment? It's never easy making these sorts of decisions. When I am in the horrendous situation that you find yourself in, I am guided by the possibility for recovery, and by my animal's will to continue fighting. I have recently been delving into homeopathic treatments. So far what I've found is that they need time to work and the patient has to have a strong enough "vital force" to respond to treatment. If there is something that the allopathic vets can do to buy him time, it may very well be worth it. My heart goes out to you and your baby. I pray that you find peace in whatever decisions you make. Frodo is a very fortunate cat to have a mommy that loves him so much.

If our cat has had a severe campylobacter infection. lost a lot of weight and has been syringe fed already for a number of weeks, will chemo continue as the same sort of thing that we have to do ? I am so stunned I'm sure i don't know what to ask, i like holistic and supportive measures. I like homeopathy. Has anyone heard of success with homeopathy ? or with eg. colostrum or transfer factor ? Anything i could get right now for him ? Lynne many thanks please reply !! __ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
Re: Please Help NewMember I'm scared
Lynne, It's kind of late, so don't be discouraged, I am sure you will get PLENTY of answers/suggestions tomorrow. I also am a huge believer in holistic/homeopathic medicine. My allopathic vet & holistic vet work together, I am fortunate. I am not familiar with exactly the condition your baby has. Can you explain more? Is it a cancer?? (I took a break & looked up campylobacter infection, I understand "a little more", but did your vet say this caused cancer?) Transfer Factor is excellent. So is colustrum, and you can get it w/ olive leaf extract.The olive leaf is effective against toxins). (I used that on my fosters fighting distemper). Silica(e) is also excellent as an immune booster. Also, sulfur is an excellent "good for all". it is safe, & will NOT do any harm w/ it's use. (I used it for my Jesse who had cancer) Another excellent homeopathic remedy is "Bioplasma", it helps build up blood & guard against anemia. Arsenicum Album is great for diarrhea. Also, adding psyllium powder as fiber. You can also try canned pumpkin. Pectin can also be added w/ the psyllium. Slippery elm, sprinkled over food, or in syrup form is also very effective. As far as aromatherapy, "cinnamon" is the one suggested. Some holistic vets suggest "holding off" all solid/wet food for 24 hours or so, providing water and using Anitra Frazier's chicken broth recipe. Also, acidophilus will help. Make sure you give her a Pro-Biotic, this is essential to fight off all the "other"things going on in her system now. All these items available in a "good" Natural Food store. Hope I haven't confused or overwhelmed you.. If you need recipes for Slippery Elm Syrup or Chicken Broth, just let me know PLEASE, update me on your baby & the cancer concerns.(I am still confused how she developed cancer after campylobacter) BTW, did they treat that w/ erythromycin? From what I read that is the AB of choice for that. Also, was she thoroughly de-wormed & checked for all parasites, giardia, coccidia, etc?? Sorry for all the questions, but maybe if I understood better, I'd be more help. Hope to hear again from you & see what other list members reply with. Patti

Our cat Frodo has evident cancer because of huge, enlarged lymph nodes, abdomen and neck, and an inhouse test at the vet today. Vet will recommend treatment options; another vet there interened with oncology. If our cat has had a severe campylobacter infection. lost a lot of weight and has been syringe fed already for a number of weeks, will chemo continue as the same sort of thing that we have to do ? I am so stunned I'm sure i don't know what to ask, i like holistic and supportive measures. I like homeopathy. Has anyone heard of success with homeopathy ? or with eg. colostrum or transfer factor ? Anything i could get right now for him ? Lynne many thanks please reply !! __ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
