Starr's now seeing my new vet and a holistic vet and he's doing so much better these days. I sure hope that Magic will be able to be diagnosed and treated easily. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care.

I echo what KAK says about holistic vets. They look at the cat and its symptoms rather than looking for a diagnosis they can label then treat the label. That is not to say they don't use bloodwork and Xrays etc but they look at the whole picture and can often start to give your cat relief from its symptoms before they even know fully what the condition is they are treating. Acupuncture to bring the system back into balance, chiropractic to make sure the nerves are supplying all the organs and body systems correctly, maybe some Chinese herbs or a special dietary mix to support the digestive tract whatever may be wrong. I am glad Starr is much better because he is one of my favourite pt cats. I hope Magic and Shadow will recover soon. It is so important to feel trust and a comfortable rapport with your vet and it sounds like you have that. Good luck. - The TopCats.
