James,
I am so sorry to hear about your new kitten. Do what your heart tells you to do with this furbaby. If you trust your vet, then do what your vet tells you. I trust my vet totally and will go with what he says. I once seen a new assoc. he hired, a young vet with very bad bedside manners. I disliked alot because the way he handled the cats and talk to me and let my vet know what I thought. Needless to say he was gone a short yome after that. You and vet have several things in common and that is the health and well being of you kitten. Don't wait long if you trust your vet, do what he says. The furbaby's life is in your hands and the vets.
Keep me posted on the kitten. I am outside of Annapolis. E-mail me if you want. My prays are with you and the kitten. Mega Glows to him.

Stella
