Positive thoughts for Haggis:hyperthyroid+tongue lesion

[Taz_Zoee]

I am sorry to hear about Haggis. They are both beautiful kitties.
Did you read the post above yours from Emeraldgreen? She suggests something that might help Haggis, if you are interested, or think it would work.
I'm with your husband. I've never had to deal with that either. Knowing that your animal is only going to be around for a while. I can only imagine how tough it is. I'm sure I will experience it someday, hopefully not too soon.

Anyway, welcome to Pet Talk and I will keep you and Haggis in my thoughts.

I'm just so sorry to read about Haggis. I would like to suggest that you take Emeraldgreen up on her offer. She's been through the same thing w/her cat Tiger and it may give you some hope of keeping Haggis w/you a little while longer. I do know how tough it is when your vet tells you that one of your furkids doesn't have much time left. It's heartbreaking. Give that boy some gentle pets from me and (((HUGS))) to you.

I am so sorry.

Do try the Transfer Factor. It certainly can't hurt.

I was so miserable about yesterdays diagnosis I glazed over about the Transfer Factor. I looked at their website but couldn't find the link to order it. I guess I'll look again. Anything is worth trying at this point.

EmeraldGreen- the chicken flavored suspension would probably be best. If you can point to the link where you bought it I can see if I can get it so as to not trouble you with shipping etc...

So far Haggis is doing okay. He is eating a lot but doesn't have his usual energy. Poor kitty.

Fingers and paws crossed that this will help.
Thank you again for all your prayers and online hugs. We really appreciate it so much. I'll keep you posted on how Haggis is doing...

Emeraldgreen has some left over she can ship to you...so you needn't worry too much about the website (it can be a bit much to navigate even a simple site when you are upset.)

Even though EG's kitty Tiger refused the TF in ANY form whatsoever, he had taken it between a couple of surgeries, though not very much. However, the vets were surprised at how long and well he lasted.

So - ya never know.

HUGS!

Yes, I would be more than happy to ship the already compounded chicken flavoured Transfer Factor to you if you'd like. However, I completely understand that you don't know me and you may be uncomfortable with receiving meds like this. But if you decide to, please PM me and I will send it off to you.
If you decide to just order right from the company, here is a link:
Transfer Factorhttp://www.transferfactor-us.com/.
And here is a video about the product. It's an infomercial but it does have some good info. :0)
The product is called Transfer Factor Plus. They do have one for pets but the success stories that I have learned about with regard to cancer have used Transfer Factor Plus.
Another woman Shelley, gave her cat, who was in grave condition, 3 or 4 capsules per day for a few months. She opened the caps and mixed it with butter and smeared it on her cats paw and then he cleaned it up. My cat would never go for that so I mixed it in with his food but then he got finicky after awhile and was very suspicious when he saw me mixing his wet food. That is when I took the bottle of Transfer Factor to my local compounding pharmacy and asked them to mix it with a chicken flavoured suspension which they have on hand for pet meds. Unfortunately he wouldn't eat anything with the suspension in it and I didn't want to force it. But as mentioned before, my other cats didn't even seem to notice it was mixed in the food, even when I just opened the capsules and mixed it in so it was just my Tiger that was such a stubborn boy.

I do hope you'll try the T.F. because this other woman has had such amazing success with it and her cat is still alive and this is years later after he was diagnosed with cancer. He had a tumour in the beginning but the vets cannot find any evidence of it.

And as Catty1 mentioned, the vets were amazed that Tiger lived as long as he did (1 year after his diagnoses). He did have 4 surgeries to remove the tumours that kept growing back but they were surprised at the slow growth of the tumours and I do attribute that to the T.F. even though I was only able to get about 1.5 caps every other day in him.

Anyway, I'm so sorry about the diagnosis. I know exactly how you are feeling. Tiger was with me for 12+ years and it was devastating to learn such news. My thoughts are with you.
