I hope Patches comes through this all with flying colors.  And I'm sure she will. Good luck with Lucy and the homemade diet.  IBD is such a b*tch to put it bluntly.  It's hard to figure out the causes, and stress causes it the most with my little guy who suffers from it periodically.    I empath

Michelle, I'm sorry you are having problems too, I hope the furkids start feeling better. I just wanted to tell you Bailey has been eating raw (homemade) for about 6 months or so and he really thrived until this anemia hit, he went up to 11 pounds, he was always eating, I was in heaven.

Michelle, You've been so good about helping all of us, I wouldn't dream of passing up the opportunity to help you out. Besides, I am sitting at my desk at work trying to get myself fired by being on the computer all day. Maybe then I will be forced to find a job I actually like! lol. Seriously

I'm with you. I saw that same Hill's chart and I don't think those charts are very accurate. We have a 16.5 year old kitty that is doing great. She's considered geriatric, but I never saw a geriatric human race around the house like she does. LOLOLOL. Never been sick a day in her life. Her na

Hey Michelle, I am sending warm fuzzies your way. Hopefully, they will rub off on Patches and Lucy. My Siamese is a LuLu, named after her mom Lucy, who was named after I Love Lucy (my best friend's daughter loves I Love Lucy). lol. Don't let the vet (or statistics) get you down Michelle. Your

Thanks, Gloria.  That really does help.  I just have become so paranoid and fatalistic from losing so many animals in the last few years, that statistics like the one the vet cited just put me over the edge a little bit.   But Gray showed me that the vet also has a chart in the office, put o

Hi Michelle, prayers coming for Patches and Lucy! I know you have a lot os stress trying to keep them well. In my opinion, different vets will say a lot if different, diverse things about FELV - much just based on their feelings, not necessarily based on research or solid evidence. My f
