PURRayerys for lil Chance!!

Hey Aly ~~

Have the Vets considered or tested for THIS >>>

(Taken form the Lucky/Cheech Thread)

Doc Lavergne just checked in ...

She said his blood tests *point* towards it being "Haemobartonella" -
or "Hemobartonellosis" - an infection of the blood.

Read all about it at >>>
VetInfo - Hemobartonellosis

They changed his Antibiotic Meds and he immediately started to
respond to the New Meds!!

Chance's "symptoms" are Very Similar to Lucky's...

1) Very lethargic - would hardy *move* other than to lift his head -
wouldn't or couldn't walk...

2) Very High Temp = ~ 103 or so

3) Glassy eyes, not responsive to light

4) Just acted completely "worn out"...

Lucky was given Antibiotics - and within a 24 hour period he
*perked up* and seemed to be recovering;
temp went down a little; and he moved around on his own...
THEN he Suddenly "crashed" again - fever UP, no voluntary movement.

The Clinic in LA did blood tests - and the results *pointed* towards
the condition mentioned above...

Doc CHANGED his Antibiotic Med and within hours he was
showing great improvement - temp down to 99.5 and starting to
move around on his own.

Since the Antibiotic "change" - Lucky has NOT had any relapses.

Luck is being treated at:

(Mention "Lucky, da Pet Talk Kat" to break the ice!)

GOOD LUCK to You and Chance!!
