I am trying. The last one was done by Simon's oncologist.  He can't do it for my other cats. The local vet agreed to do it but never seems to actually do it. I need to keep bugging her. Michelle   In a message dated 3/14/05 5:13:27 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Michelle

Hideyo,   Have you tried catnip? That always gives my cats the munchies. I just dump it on a plate for them. After they roll around on it for a few minutes, they always head right for the food dish. Probably not as effective as the prescription stuff though. But they sure get a kick out of it

I sent a reply the last time you asked with the info that your vet needs to send to the FDA. It was the second time I reposted it from the archives. It was about a week ago. Please look for it there, because otherwise I have to get on our other computer and look from it in my files and cut and

Michelle, You can also put in another application for VO yourself. I've gotten two okays for Grace and one for Jazz. I have one sitting at my vet's office waiting until I have enough money to order it. Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hideyo, I think you should try Immuno-regulin for her. Your

Hideyo, I'm sorry Ginger is off her food again.  My Gypsy is a really finicky eater and will stop eating too.  I can't remember who suggested it, (Belinda, maybe?), but when I've had to syringe feed Gypsy, I tell her that I won't have to do this, if she'll eat on her own.  I also offer her food

It is fine to use for FeLV+ cats. I have done so many times. Sometimes you need to use less than the prescribed amount, though, because a small percentage of cats are very sensitive to it and get really groggy and disoriented from it. Michelle In a message dated 3/14/05 4:30:41 PM, [EMAIL PROTE

Ciproheptidine is an antihistimine with a side effect of making cats and dogs hungry, so vets prescribe it as an appetite stimulant. You need to get it from a vet. Michelle In a message dated 3/14/05 4:13:42 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << No, I haven't - what is cypro? Do I get it at a he

Hideyo, I think you should try Immuno-regulin for her. Your vet should be able to get it. also, can you start the process to get VO? If you start the process to get it yourself, I can send you one of my remaining two boxes of it (good for one 5 day dose, or more if she weighs under 11 pounds
