    Osteogenesis Imperfecta

    Hey there!  I have not been here in ages, but I wanted to post to see how Lucy & Neville are doing.  Redd celebrated her 12th bday in April.  She is having some problems that we think are related to an abcessed tooth, but she has not broken in quite some time (knocks wood), has managed to...

    Osteogenesis Imperfecta

    Although I have not had to deal w/ something that severe, I just wanted to tell you to hang in there! Personally, what has always guided me is Redd's moods. She has always had a good quality of life despite the breaks, so we've continued to fight for her. FWIW, Neville may have learned to...

    Osteogenesis Imperfecta

    I have not experienced that particular problem, so I can't tell you how to treat it, but I just wanted to express my support. Hang in there! Raw foods are great if you can get him to eat them. (HRH Redd refuses to do so). I also think you are better off w/ a commercially prepared raw food...

    Osteogenesis Imperfecta

    I just sent you a pm with my vet's contact info. Please let me know if you get it, as I'm never sure I've gotten these things right. The most important thing I can think of to tell you is don't give up-kitties w/ OI can live a happy life, as is evidenced by Redd. She is still going strong...

    Osteogenesis Imperfecta

    Again, I am very, very sorry to learn of your loss. However, I understand what a testament it is to your good care and devotion that she lived that long-8 years strikes me as a very long life for an OI doggy. I also fully understand what you mean when you say it wasn't nearly long enough...

    Osteogenesis Imperfecta

    Yup, Redd & I are still out here in cyberspace, even though I don't post much. FWIW, she will be 6 in April and is doing wonderfully. She seems to have "outgrown" things to a degree-she still has OI, as it is genetic, but she doesn't break nearly as often, and her deformation seems to have...

    Curious question about shelter cats.

    Stories like this are the reason I ended up with 9 cats. Number 5 was a mama cat who brought 4 two-day old kittens (numbers 6-9) with her. No one I knew & trusted was in the market for a kitten. Because we could not find what we felt were suitable homes with people we knew, we kept them. I...

    Julius and Munchkin Update

    I've got my fingers crossed, have knocked wood, and will say a few prayers for Julius & Munchkin!! And yes, I, too, cannot believe how people expect a new kitty to just open up and act right at home as soon as they set paw in the front door!
