    Many prayers for Bo. Controlling the infection is better than no hope at all. And maybe we'll get lucky.

    Bo, I'm so sorry to hear this news. The good part is that your whitecoat is confident that the problem can be controlled. I know seeing the whitecoat and having to take medicine is no fun for a kitty but please, sweetie, just remember it's all to help you feel better.

    Prayers are still being prayed for you to feel better soon. Sending you lots and lots of feel better lovies

    Healing thoughts for Bo--to get the nasty stuff under control and then to get it gone entirely. Eradicating it may be a long shot, but we can certainly hope for the best.

    I'm sorry to hear that Bo has a very nasty bacteria infection but at least it can be treated and hopefully it'll go away in time. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

    Did your vet say what may have caused this infection? I know that she's an indoor only cat. Maybe she has a compromised immune system since she's been battling infections for many years now.

    That's exactly his feeling on this. As you remember Bo was born feral and lived in the park several years before she decided she wanted to come home with us. They feel her immune system is just too weak to totally fight this off. Hopefully we can control it enough for her to live a long life in somewhat comfort.

    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    She is so beautiful! I hope she can be helped to fight this and enjoy her life, once again.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Bo is beginning to sneeze frequently again. I relayed this to our vet and he said to continue the antibiotics until finished. She's not as bad but I sure don't want it to get to that point again.

    When it rains it pours. We had quite a stretch without anything wrong with the group.
