Because we have not adopted them. By law, a shelter in our state cannot adopt out an unaltered animal. But they said we could foster them until they were old/big enough to get fixed but they would remain under the authority of the HS. They didn't say the animals were sick and they were going to...

And that included the cremation and little paw prints. I love my vet. We were lucky to have him.

I have had all my cats put down at home. It was maybe $300 at most. I just liked having it done here better than going into the vets office.

Looks like they also have tapeworm. That might explain why things seem to cycle as far as improvement goes. I found a white little rice like entity on one of their behinds today. Let the HS know, but good lord, everything medical is a fight with them. I think it might just be easier to give up...

You are not ending their life. Something else is. You are just ending their pain.

Well, they are both back to soup. Not sure if it is because we gave them some liquid clay solution for cats that is supposed to help coat the GI track and help with inflammation and it didn't agree with them or what the deal is. We did get a prescription for tylosin that we are going to pick up...

Starting to see some improvement with their bowel movements. Still a long way to go to get to a normal poop, but looks like we are heading in the right direction. Should get the rest of my holistic medicines today. Are erthromycin and tylosin a more gentle antibiotic than metro? All I have...

Sometimes there is really great advice on these kind of forums and sometimes there is not. And sometimes people would rather be preachy than helpful. Sometimes you can do everything right and still have it go wrong. I think it was big of you to apologize, but also remember to be gentle to yourself.

The HS will not tell us anything. We have asked before and it just goes nowhere. We had to go around them to the vet to find out the results from the last test. Looks like the s. boulardii is a good treatment option for the clostridum as well so seems like we are on the right track if they...

No, that is alright. I am using the s. boulardii, which is a probiotic I found referenced on this site. And have ordered some other things to try. We fed them two bags of the same food as the HS had said they were feeding. And started with the Science Diet sensitive stomach as that is also what...

Display case. I moved all my breakables to an enclosed case. After we super-glued them all back together.

Yes, I think that might be a good thing to follow up on once they have had a break. They just came off the meds. Again, the vet said just continuously dosing them with drugs can cause as much harm as it does good, which is why she recommended the probiotic. But also, the shelter would have to...

Why would I need to take them to a different vet? This is the same vet center we have gone to in the past two decades and they have always been good. One of the best here. They didn't tell me anything off base from what I can tell. The vet said another round of the meds at this point might just...

They also sneeze a lot.

I had asked the vet about the test missing things and she said they checked for DNA, so there should not have been a false negative/positive or whatever you call it. I believe they did look for coccidia, giardia and t. foetus because we discussed all of those. The vet tech did say that there...
