Hi again. My vet ordered the Tcyte but it won't be in until some time next week. My cat has become severely anemic and was falling over tonight, howling and stretched out stiff. After this episode, which he had a couple of times, he got up, drank some water and is back to normal. Was this a...

Thank you for your reply. I completely agree with you. From what I've read, there are no known side effects to this treatment which is always a concern. I will also try anything to save my cats. As long as it doesn't do any harm, there is nothing to lose. I am not sure why my vet turned suddenly...

Hi, my cat is in the final stages of FIV. I am considering Tcyte therapy, but my vet, who originally was the one that told me about it, is now discouraging me. He says there isn't enough research on it and he isn't convinced that it works. I wanted to know more from anyone that has first hand...

Hi again, My cat is still on the azithromycin and is doing well. She is still a little bit stuffy, definitely not as bad as before. I had a phone consultation with a vet today. I asked about doing an URI panel and she agreed that would be a good idea. Just a question for those who have had...

Wow thank you all for your messages! Houdini is very beautiful! I completely agree with you on getting a second opinion! I'm glad things worked out for you and Houdini and that you found a knowledgeable vet. I'm so frustrated with this situation I want to cry :( I love my cat more than...

Hi Steph, Wow, thank you so very much for your post! I'm glad to hear your kitty is doing better! I've been researching so much on this topic and have found that Azithromycin seems to be the antibiotic of choice. I had another vet tell me the same as your vet - that it can be used long term for...

Thank you for your replies, I really appreciate it! The information on Pseudomonas is very helpful. I'm still in the process of researching to figure out what my next step is. She is currently on the Azithromycin and is doing well on it, but I fear once the course of the medication is completed...

Hi there, I'm very sorry to hear about your kitty's IBD. I'm just throwing this out there as another suggestion that might help in case you haven't tried it yet. I currently have one cat with this same issue and years ago had 2 elderly cats with IBD. At the time, I was able to control both of...

My cat is 1.5 years old and suffers from chronic URI. When I rescued her as a 5/6-week old kitten, she was very ill and they weren't sure she would make it. Up until now, it's been a long road, including several vet visits to board-certified specialists and a 2-day stay in the hospital. When I...

Hi again! I haven't written for awhile so I thought I'd post an update. LDG: Her name is Precious :) thanks for asking. It's been a long month of communicating back and forth to the vet in Ohio as well as consulting with our regular vet and a local oncologist. Turns out, the tumor is too far...

Hi again, Thank you for all your answers and suggestions. LDG - well said! That's exactly how I feel and believe me, I am very thorough when I have a decision to make. Thus the reason for me posting here :) You are right, age or money has nothing to do with it. It really depends on the cat as...

Hi Nerdrock, Thanks for your quick reply! I actually have spoken to the vet in Ohio but he doesn't know anyone else who does it unfortunately. I am willing to travel but just wanted to see if I have other options. I also wanted to get feedback on others experiences with the therapy if possible...

I have a geriatric cat who has Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the nose. I've already consulted with three oncologists and a surgeon regarding treatment options. Radiation is not optimal as it would not be curative and is extremely taxing on the cat. Surgery is also not an option as the tumor is...

Hi Carolina, You are so sweet, thank you so much! I apologize for not writing sooner, I've been working like crazy for the past two days. I'm happy it's Friday! Squeaky is continuing to eat more (still on the baby food) and he even started walking a little bit on his own! He didn't drink as...

Hi Carolina, Thank you so much for your reply. I have spoken to the vet and yes he is eating more. He is improving and I hope it continues! I will keep you updated. Keep sending those vibes because they are working!  

Hello, I’m new here. I found this site researching information for my 20 year old cat Squeaky. I am hoping someone can provide me with some answers. A week ago he suddenly became very ill. He was disoriented, wouldn’t eat and was very lethargic. I rushed him to the ER and his blood work...
