    Has anyone had experience with cryptococcus?

    TaliaZ, thank you for your message. I’m so happy to hear about Lucy— what wonderful news! I think that while being blind might seem like a big deal for humans, it might feel like a smaller thing for cats and dogs. And with you by her side, it’s as if she can see just fine. Lucy has done such...

    Has anyone had experience with cryptococcus?

    Hello TaliaZ and Lucy, I'm so glad to hear that Lucy is doing well with the medication. I’ve been wondering how you and Lucy have been doing every day. When Miyu lost her eyesight, I wasn’t too worried because there are so many dogs and cats without vision who live happily, playing, eating...

    Has anyone had experience with cryptococcus?

    Hello TaliaZ, Thank you for your message. I’m glad to hear that fluconazole seems to be working for your cat. Unfortunately, it had no effect on Miyu at all. I’ve been keeping notes on my cats’ conditions, and when I looked back, I saw that Miyu was diagnosed with cryptococcosis on December 5...

    AMPHOTERICIN B (Cryptcoccssis)

    Hello fionasmom, Thank you very much for your message. This morning, I cleaned up Miyu's place as usual so that she can rest comfortably when she returns sometime this week. I hesitated to wash her blankets, as they carry her fur and familiar smells, but I decided to clean them because she...

    Thank you for your message and advice. I called Walmart, Albertsons, and Vons yesterday but none of them had it in stock (Albertsons did have beef and beef broth). So, I ordered a box on Amazon. I don’t think I’ll be able to return it, so I’ll use it as a treat for the other cats. Thank you...

    AMPHOTERICIN B (Cryptcoccssis)

    Hello everyone, Miyu entered her eternal slumber last night. I took her to the ER of a hospital with a specialist that I had finally found, and after speaking with the doctor, I felt that I couldn’t make her go through anything more. For our final farewell, Miyu was wrapped in a big towel...

    neely, The Beach Nuts baby food looks very good! There is a Walmarts and Vons in my neighborhood so I will go buy some tomorrow. Thank you very much for the information. Miyu has just used her litterbox with my support. Then I gave her a tiny bit of wet food on her gums. She didn't like it at...

    Has anyone had experience with cryptococcus?

    Hello Feeby's Owner, TaliaZ, and everyone, TalizaZ, I’m in almost exactly the same situation as you. I just created my own thread to ask for help. I’ve started considering Amphotericin B treatment and am searching for a vet. Have you ever thought about this option?

    Hello neely, Thank you very much; it is very encouraging to know! fionasmom is from LA, so we are close. I hope fionasmom will find me. I just sent an email to my pet insurance company to confirm if, should I decide, the cost would be covered and to ask for more information in this area. I'm...
