I'm wondering also if there are cheaper places to have transfusions done. My internist charged $412. Out of that, $30 was for the red blood count.   -Kyle - Original Message - From: catatonya To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2005 5:36 PM

Turn for the worse

2005-04-24 Thread Lisa Roberts
My poor Roxie has taken a sudden turn for the worse.  Last week we took her into my regular vet last week for an upper respiratory infection and he started her on Lysine and antibotics (she has been on interferon since March).  On Friday night we noticed her breathing was heavier and more rapid the

I know what you mean - I took my Calla to an emergency vet in 2004 before she died. He did a lot of tests, which I regret as I already knew what was going on, and he was very negative in his approach, wanted to euthanize her after all that, nothing helpful as a result of the $200 tests. I to

Hi. I am so sorry that you had that experience with the emergency vet. I think you should take Roxie to an internist. She could possibly have lymphoma, if she is FeLV+ and having trouble breathing and lethargy (or it could just be pneumonia or something-- my Patches had that). Either has a chance o

Dear Kyle Good to hear Brissle is feeling better! Just a thought--everything I've read about tuna is that it's to be avoided by cats except for a rare treat (Anitra Frazier won't even use it as a treat). I'd dump the Friskies as well, and give them a high quality wet food like Wellness, Innov

Lisa,   Emergency vets just suck.  I'm glad you held your ground too.  I hope when you see your regular vet tomorrow she'll have some good ideas to help Roxy feel better soon.   tonyaKerry MacKenzie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear Lisa I know what you mean about emergency vets. I'm sending lots

Dear Kyle: So sorry to hear that Brissle is crashing again. Please don't beat yourself up what-iffing. At this point, what she has been eating and whether or not she got Pet Tinic or some other supplements on a daily basis is a minor consideration. Once an FeLV+ kitty "crashes" and has develo
