Hello List, As you may recall, I posted a few weeks back about my FeLV+ girl, Ember, having lost weight since last January. I'd taken her off of EVO dry due to serious diarrhea. I don't think EVO is a bad food, and she did very well on it for many months before the diarrhea. Unfortunately, when I

. While I suspect the Core- being that it's based on the raw food diet for cats- would be the most protein-packed, the regular wellness that is for kittens and adults is still really really good. You can put Ember on kitten wet food since you are worried about her weight loss and caloric intake

Hi Lance Glad that Ember is gaining weight ...that is really good news. The Whole Dog Journal does a yearly evaluation of commercial pet food and they always rate Wellness very highly. I discovered Petguard (wet) which is the Whole Foods label. It is the first food that MeMe really loves

I just came into this thread please take Ember in to see your vet! Any lump in the neck area, especially after vaccinations there (which should NEVER be done - NO vaccinations are supposed to be done in the scruff anymore!) is suspect. Take her in asap have it biopsied. Pam Lance wrote

Ember is five and a half. She hasn't gotten any vax except for her first rabies (I think) since I adopted her when she was seven months old. Again, I think I'm being, as Ned Flanders would say, a nervous Nelly, but that's not unusual. Lance On Fri, 12 Oct 2007 09:35:25 -0500, Kelley Saveika

Jane, The bump is on the side of her neck, I think. I don't think it's related to a gland. It may just be a pimple. It doesn't seem to go deeper than the skin, and it's small. After reading about vax site sarcomas, I don't *think* it could be that. I don't know where vax are given when they're

FreeT4 is the test you want to do if there is any possibility of the T4 being incorrect. Fred's T4 was normal but his FreeT4 showed he was in the early stages of hyperthyroid, so we caught it early and he only needed a very low dose of iodine when he had the treatment and I got to bring him
