That was so sweet of you to count the breaths, did you do that for me? It does put my mind at ease a bit, thank you. He's not wheezing, but his purr is off, sort of raspy. I do my absolute best to not worry, worry doesn't solve anything it just causes stress, so much easier said than done th

Two of my cats were around 50 as well (when I counted them all last night). I don't think it's THAT abnormal, as these guys are very healthy negative cats. I'd be more concerned with difficulty breathing, if he is wheezing, or laboring at it in any way. I don't think the speed alone is that m

  Did you not know Spencer was positive?  I would treat with doxy just in case of hemobart and maybe try immunoregulin.  Hang in there. t Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: First of all, I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep up with the list lately. As always, my prayers

We're putting him on the feline interferon tomorrow, (it should be here in the morning). We're going with a 5mu dose, (he's 13lbs), 1x day for 5 days then 5 more days on the 14th day and then again on the 60th day. The vet suspects Hemobart. He's not eating very much, so of course that has me

Sending good thoughts and vibes.  If one of my cats became anemic at this point I would probably try acemannan, epogen, or immuno-regulin, or a combo of two of these with some steroids, as it seems to have helped others on the list. Unless it is due to lymphoma, in which case steroids and may
