Hi All, New member, just an intro post - and a long one. I will tend to lurk more then comment, unless I feel compelled to do so. I'm here to learn and to share my experience and hear about others. I've been fostering kittens for a local shelter since 2003. Up until this year I've been

Hi and welcome. I am glad you have the three. I recommend Immuno-regulin for upper respiratory infections that hang on. There are some articles about it on this group's website, and a number of us have used it successfully. Dosing is for cats up to 15 pounds, at .25 ml. I am not sure what dosi

Have Missy's portrait made--either by a professional or a friend who is really good with a camera. Assuming you out live her, you will take great pleasure in this. At least I have with my own critters. I truly enjoy looking at their pictures. They remind me of how totally wonderful our frie

1) How much danger of contracting the virus are my cats in (they received their last feleuk vaccine in late October)? Little to none. Adult healthy cats are naturally immune to FELV in most cases, plus yours were recently vaccinated with a vaccine that is 85% effective, so I'd say you are fairly
