Fister is at the hospital

[Bengalz]

Randi my thoughts are with you and Fister. Such a difficult time ... lots of love to both of you - please give that beautiful boy a hug for me too.

Randi, I hope you have your boy at home now. Might I suggest that you ask the vet for a pain medication that can be compounded in to a cream and put on Fister's ear rather than an injection or a pill. It might be easier for you to calm him that way.

You are in our thoughts.

Hugs to you both!

Randi, I'm not a "regular" here at PT, so I don't know you or Fister's story, but I'm in tears from reading this thread. My Fister's Creator bless you with the wisdom, the courage, the strength, and the faith that you need for whatever happens. I wonder why the vet didn't suggest an iron supplement for Fister to combat the anemia. My Althea's hematocrit was down to 5 at one point (should be between 30 and 42); we treated her with an iron supplement (Pet Tinic) and prednisolone, and it worked. The pred might not be called for in Fister's case, but the iron supplement might help quite a bit. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Fister is now at the Rainbow Bridge, I am closing this thread. See Randi's thread here.
