Hi everyone - I am sure mom won't give up on Pyka. I think her resilience is still down after my sister's death in April - that was her baby, after all!

I keep encouraging her. My vet gave me the name of a place that compounds this stuff into capsules for vets. This expense seems unnecessary, as this stuff DOES exist in tablet form for people.

Not having a clear diagnosis is frustrating too.

A knowledgable friend of mine recommended a wonderful vet that she can at least call to see about getting a second opinion. He trained in China, and in regular vet medicine as well - and just might have some other ideas.

Mom has a bit of a hoarse throat - maybe they're allergic to each other???

Thank you all, I won't give up.
