Newest vet update (9-24-07)

Good news...but poor Jasper! I guess if Depo suppresses the immune system, then he would catch a cold or something. I hope he is better SOON!

Major PT Prayers for little Sprite! I hope the antibiotics help him if there's a bug to get rid of! Hang in there, baby!

Regarding the teeth, I don't know if it's possible to feed your tooth kitties separately, but if I might suggest something.

Oscar will be 6 in January. Cole just turned 3. I've never needed to have their teeth cleaned. And they aren't close to needing a cleaning.

I used Royal Canin SO (Urinary) which really helped their teeth - but they needed to lose a bit of weight. My vet said that Hill's Dental was good for weight loss, had now been shown to prevent UTI's like the RC, and of course was good for teeth. I also use the Meditreats regularly (2 per cat in the am).

I know each cat is different, but ask your vet about this. Maybe mix the Hill's in with their regular dry food? It's a bit more pricey, but less expensive in the long haul than a tooth cleaning.

I sure hope the meds do the trick for poor Jasper and little Sprite. Prayers and positive thoughts on the way.

As for the rest of the vet checked gang that sounds pretty good. I can't believe Mickey is 4 1/2 now. Boy does time fly!

My LAST vet visit when Fern and Willow showed signs of tarter, I purchased a dental diet. THEY WON'T EAT IT!! Mickey and Bonnie both tried it, and will eat some along with their regular food. I will also try Ashley to see if she will like it.

Little Sprite has had one dose of the antibiotics and has already eated (on his own) his first feeding after. I had been force feeding him for almost 2 full days as he simply would not suck the bottle on his own. BUT HE JUST DID!!
WOO HOO!!!! I am very hopeful about that.

That is a great update about Sprite! Keep it up little guy!

EEK! What a roller coaster! Sprite's little pick-me-up did not continue through his evening feeding.

SIGH.

That So Sad That You Cant Get Jaspers Problem Under Control And We Are Sorry To Hear That Sprites Medication Isnt Working.
Sadly Theres Nothing That You Can Do Is Hope Wish And Pray. I Hope Its At Least Good To Know That You Have The Pet Talkers Praying Along With You.
