AMEN!! Some people make me so mad!! When Jasee was so sick as a kitten I can't tell you how much I spent on medications from the pharmacy, special meds made by a compounding pharmacy, then $125 an hour for a Homeopathic Vet, homeo remedies, etc!!! For one with no voice and just love in their heart, you spare no expense, you do what you have to! Thank you Linda!

I am glad to hear Maggie is coming around. She will grieve for Maya, it is truly sad to see them go through this. Have you tried to give her Nutrical? It is like a paste like them hairball remedies. It has alot of calories in it and is for cats that wont eat. How about other things she may like, baby food or canned pure pumpkin? Jase loves baby food sweet potatoes and pumpkin.

I wish her continued improvement. Can you try to post some more pics of her, I'd love to see her and how she is progressing. Give her a big hug from me and Jasee!

Good news!! I have had people say things like that to me and my response has never been quite as nice as yours was. The reason I have so many cats to begin with is that most of them were rejected and abused by people who thought they were "just cats." I would pit my "just cats" against most people any day and I know that they would come out on top. As someone who does rescue, I get to see the terrible things people do, which is why my pets are so much more precious to me than the approval of some meanie.

Oh yea I forgot that part We used to get them at the eye clinic, a small bottle was $50. I was also using the Famvir liquid oral and I get it up the street at a veterinary compounding pharmacy. The last time I got the drops filled the clinic said "do you just want us to call in a precsription to the pharmacy and you can get both there?" Well yes, sooooo....when i picked up the drops they charged $20 for what I had been paying $50 for

I also forgot to tell you when they were treating Sparky for the ulcers they used a very powerful people antibiotic eye drop. I don't remeber the name but if what she has doesn't work I will find out what it was if you want. It cost $80 at the pharmacy

I am so happy she is eating and gaining, that is great news

So glad to know that Maggie is feeling better-as for the girl's comment she probably never had a cat in her whole life so she
is not to be taken seriously it's funny how some people always want to save you money

Hugs to your sweet Maggie girl. I hope her corneal ulcer heals soon and well. I am glad she found her way into your home

Maggie is doing a tiny bit better today -- she was out with the boys and one got too personal, so she bopped him! The girl has spunk!!! Her eyes also look less cloudy and the ulcer is not so sharply defined, so I'm taking this as it's healing. She and Isabel are better together -- Maggie can walk within in inches of Isabel and Isabel just ignores her.



I think I've tried just about everything she might like including shrimp and aspargus -- one cat's favorite food. Hubby reported (while I'm working) that she was eating out of the bowl this noon while he was trying to fill the syringe. She still didn't eat enough to support herself, but it's a start. I suspect she was allowed 24/7 access to food, so she never learned to eat a big meal now because the food disappears.



I was nice because the cute pharmacist was listening in and he finds me and my cats amusing. He also gives me freebies, like syringes, droppers, etc. So, my restraint was not my altruism --it was me wanting freebies.



Yes, Dianne, you forgot to warn me about the price. $80 for antibiotics isn't bad, since I paid $145 for the antivirals. And it's a teeny tiny bottle!!! I could have gotten it cheaper somewhere else, but the pharmacy had it instock and I wanted it NOW.


And I have given her a hug for each and everyone!

MAGGIE IS EATING ON HER OWN!!! Let's party!

This morning, I gave Isabel her food and closed the bedroom door. I had to go back into the bedroom for something about 5 minutes later and Maggie was eating Isabel's food. And she was actually eating -- not just licking or sniffing. So, today, we let her eat on her own. Sometimes she would eat a tiny bit and at other times she'd eat a lot for her.

I'm just so thrilled for my little Maggie. She has definitely turned the corner and is on the road to total recovery!!!

This is great news!! Keep up the good work. She'll be recovered in no time.

Happy Dance what a great way to start my day Go Maggie

You Go Maggie!!!
That is wonderful news Linda...it seems
like you have now turned the corner on Maggie care

Purrs,
Joan
