This sounds like a good idea.

Also, if steroids help, you can mail-order them from Wedgewood Pharmacy - some are available in Gourmeds treats, Tiny Tabs, or even transdermal (ear gel in a pen). I give Smudge the latter, and it's really not expensive at all, even with postage.

The only other thing I can think of is kitten food to keep their weight up. Good luck, and please keep us posted!
