Micah is CURED!!!!!

I can't convey how happy I am....the excitement is overwhelming!!!!! :D :D :D :D (Even David is giddy and tells EVERYONE about it.)

I wanted to watch him for at least two weeks. I believe its been over three, but he's been on his raw diet and there is no sign of anything but perfect kitty poop!!!

I told one of the vets I work for about Micah and she was shocked, she said she's never heard of that approach...that just goes to show you, nutrition isn't something that warrents time in vet school. :(

He really is cured! The new Micah is more energic and plays with Noel, Basie and Hermie so much now. He's really interested in the foster kittens and is just an amazing cat.

I'm thrilled...I just can't say that enough.

Here's my happy, healthy baby:

Anyway, just thought you'd all want to know. :)

YAY!!!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D YAY FOR MICAH! Congratulations to Mommy of Micah and Micah himself!

Woooowww!!!!!!!!
This Micah looks like a curious boy who would like to kiss the camera. I'd love to give him some kissies too!

Congrats, Kelly, for going into that long process and winning against the disease:)

I was sure it'll work!

YAY for Micah!!! HUGS and headbutts here :)

TERRIFIC. Here is to continued success.:)

Great news! I am so happy to hear that he is better. Please give him some scritchies for me.

Kelly, that is remarkable!!!!! Good for you, being so diligent with him. I hope he continues to do well.

Logan :)

GREAT!!!
Well here goes the old saying "You are what you eat"...and a healthy raw diet has brought the best out of your little tiger!!! (Literally...heeheehee!)

Hurray, Micah!!!
:D :D :D

Thats Wonderful!!! Amazing what a little change in the diet can do :D

Three Cheers for Micah! And may all of your problems be OVER! Lost Cats Hotel!

Yea! I've heard so many great things about raw diets. So healthy.
Congrats to Micah!

Thanks guys. :) I'll be sure and pass on your kind words to him. :)

Aww Micah!
What a precious face - so glad you are feeling better, honey!

Kelly, this is wonderful news!!!:D I'm so glad that his new diet is working and making him a much healthier cat. :)

I seriously love Micah. I can tell from the pics alone that I could love that little boy forever and I am so happy he's feeling well. You need to help out the vets over there and tell them to keep up-to-date with nutritional and behavioral methods.:rolleyes: :mad:

Yeah Micah!!! I, too, have heard so many wonderful things about raw diets for both cats and dogs. Kisses to you Micah and hugs to you Kelly! Praying for continued go health for the both of you.

FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS! At the risk of sounding overconfident, I knew a change in diet would turn things around for darling Micah! A vet never heard of this approach??? It seems to be a pretty obvious connection to me!!! What are they brainwashing them with??? Oh yeah, the pet food companies have a huge say in what is taught at vet school. How can these intelligent professionals fail to question business MOTIVES and the sources of their information! Gaaaaaaaah! Ugh, so many pet foods are just made from crap(py ingredients)!

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU KELLY, DAVID and SWEET MICAH-BOY! When (if?) I make it to veterinary school you can bet I'll supplement my education with other classes/lectures/texts on nutirition. Food is so important! It's something we put into ourselves EVERYDAY and we depend on its nutrients to make us function!!! Good, balanced nutrition and high quality ingredients cannot be overemphasized.

This is such great news! Kelly, please keep us updated as Micah starts to show his real personality --- now that he is finally in a comfortable and healthy state of being.

That is great news.

I have a question - of what exactly does a raw diet consist? I'm very curious especially since it has worked so well for you.

Also, love your new sig picture. I think Basil and Jazz were separated at birth.

That is such great news!:) :) :)
Hugs to all!:D

Oh my.....What good news !!

Worth dealing with all those livers, Kelly......yuck

Hugs to the VERY healthy Micah. :D :D :D

Micah, I am sooooo happy for you!

I am very happy for you. Congrats!!!:D :D

Micah, I am happy that you are healthy, playing, and helping your mommy with the foster kittens.

This is such great news, Kelly! I am so happy that the diet has worked for Micah! It will be really neat to see how much his purrsonality will develop now that he feels good! It's great to hear he is interacting with his siblings and the fosters too. What a cutie head! Give him some kissies for me;)
**hugs**

Aw, Kelly, aren't you just the bestest Mommy?

What great news that Micah has been cured and he is playing and feeling so good.

Awww....thanks guys. It really is a huge weight off my shoulders, I've been worried about him since we first got him in March. (Wow, has it only been six months? It feels like he's always been a blessed part of our lives.)

jazzkat,
Go to www.felinefuture.com and check out the product that I buy for Micah. I use that powder and salmon oil capsules from them and mix two pounds of fresh, organic boneless, skinless chicken thieghs and breasts and then add 1/2 a cup of pureed chicken livers. (that is the worst part, by far...but I'm getting used to it)

I also mix in a fatty acid/vitamin granule powder in one of his servings that I got from Drs. Foster & Smith. I wanted to be totally sure he's getting a balanced, healthy diet.

Something I learned at work made me really happy! My vet (and employer) DOES offer titer tests (test the amount of vaccinations in the blood) so Micah wont ever be over vaccinated again. :) I'm so happy. I think I may take him in for a blood test this month to make sure he's doing OK on his new diet. I don't want him to be deficient in anything.

My vet doesn't charge me the office visit and gives me 60% off everything else! This job really has been a huge blessing for me...and will be for the furkids as well. Thank God. :)

Great news! Thanks for letting us know!

Wonderful news that you can get the titer tests free of charge! Ugh, over vaccinating, don't even want to get into that topic! What a great job (and job benefits) you have Kelly!
Can I come over to Cali and take your spot? ;):p

Great news! I'm SO happy to hear the diet works! Keep on doing what you do! :D

Kisses to Micah - and hugs to you! :)

I respect anybody who can puree chicken livers all in the name of experimentation :) Congratulations! I'm so glad your persistence has paid off for Micah. More pics of his happy and smiling face, please!!! :)
