Hi. I know that you said that fasting Brooklyn made his stools solid for the first time. Did that last after you started feeding him again? And how long had he had loose stools before that, and how loose? I am still struggling with Lucy's diarrhea. I am considering fasting her and was just

Gloria, First my condolences on losing Chrissy this way! It's so frustrating when people think they are doing the right thing, but don't bother contacting someone who they should know would be able to give them advice. I think you may be right, this had more to do with the adopter's

Hideyo, call Best Friends in Utah. I bet they have a lot of information about various cities, as they work on this issue. I know that Phoenix has a low rate of euthanasia so you may want to call them. Michelle In a message dated 12/14/2005 3:52:58 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL

Absolutely - everything that you said - you expressed it so well. So frustrating, and hard to evaluate the adopting woman's emotional state. And I end up with such a duality of feelings. She mentioned something about wanting to consider another kitty. I'm just going to ignore her and not

I don't know, I think I might talk to her about not being ready to take on the emotional hazards that come with the responsibility of holding another life in her hands. (I don't know if I'd put it that way!). She may just go get another kitty somewhere else. It sounds like she's in such

I've been seriously thinking about getting microchips. Don't think anyone else in our rescue group is that interested, but maybe I'll bring the subject up again. Those are all good points - I may do that. The vet is maybe 15 miles away, and may not be aware of our cat rescue, so I do want

You know, I LIVE at Walmart. I have thought and thought of boycotting them, even before this. But I went to petsmart today to buy litter and I HATE giving them my business as well when they are selling all of the poor exotic birds being teased by children running around and screaming at them.

Geez, Tonya -- how awful. Living in Jersey where I do, I see lots of animals on the side of the road: cats and deer mostly. But occasionally there are dogs, geese, and other rodents (possum, raccoons, etc.). I makes me sick the way people just plow into these poor creatures without a

Hello, Two weeks ago I took a cat in that had been abandoned. Today, I took her to the vet and found out she was tested as positive for feline leukemia. I also found out today that she is pregnant. I have a 15 year old cat that does not have leukemia. Thus, I cannot keep this new cat but I

Hi, If your 15 year old negative is vaccinated, it's unlikely that he will get FeLV, especially if you can keep them separate for a while until they get used to each other's scents. I mostly lurk on the list lately, and am FeLV free at the moment, so I will let other list members who are

Janet, As Terri and Tonya have already mentioned, many of us mix adult negs that have been vaccinated with pos. It's a judgement call and of course no matter what our success rate in doing this is, there's no safer protection for your elderly cat than to not mix them together. That's what most
