I can't add anymor ethna what has already been said. Cats can life a good
few years with chronic renal failure and can be comfortable if they receive the
correct treatment. Some cats tolerate fluids well but a few don't - you have

He did not run coombs test. So the diagnosis is suspected. See, my

stomatitis. He did stop eating when he first got sick and lost 3 lb. Since
he has been on the drugs - he had his first CBC on 3/21 and his second

Thank you for your kind words.
I know FIP is hard to diagnose, but I've been through it quite a few times
and it was my first thought before the vet even spoke it. I really don't want
to put him through any more. I just want him to be as happy as he can be.

If you are not a non profit then you could possibly try to work with one -- so
if you paid whatever monies to them for the services and they paid the bills,
you could get a tax write off from the IRS. You would need a receipt from the

I am a nonprofit, I just don't have my letter of determination yet. I am
expecting it before the end of the year, certainly before next tax year.
But that doesn't really help much - you get about 30 cents back on the

Can you not write off some of the interest, too?

No, you can't write off interest on credit cards. It is worth it if he
lives.

I'm pretty darn sure the tax deduction would include interest on the
loan, no matter what the type of loan, (credit card or not), you'd have
to ask your tax consultant about that to be sure. Like you say, having
deductions is all well and good, but if you don't have the income, it
doesn't
Aww Nina, Thanks. He is pretty comfortable right now, despite his
shockingly low RBC. He was eating this morning. He gained 3 ounces in 4
days which is GREAT. I just don't know what it means that the RBC is still
going down, but the WBC is going down too. The WBC is within normal
range.
If his bone marrow is suppressed, both RBC and WBC count goes down, I
think.

Like I said before, I don't know enough about this, but wouldn't the
declining RBC mean that his anemia is non-regenerative? I think it's
wonderful news that he seems comfortable and is eating, and gaining
weight! That's a very good sign. Sometimes I wish we didn't know what

Not necessarily - the conditions of anemia itself is a decrease of RBD
whether it's regenerative or non regenerative - you can have
regenerative type like Felix, but something in the body is killing RBC
as generated.. so get destroyed as well.

I think these kitties become so precious to us in part because so many people
view FeLV kitties as throw aways. We feel extra protective because people don't

Thank you for the comment on the poems. You were right – they could not find

Find an animal communicator and ask Midnight his opinion. After all, wouldn't
