Whoever reads this-please say prayers for Zavan- he is slipping and I have a feline specialist on the way to weigh in on the situation. Please just send a prayer and I will fill it all in later- I am up to my eyeballs today juggling alligators.

Ok- just got back from the vet’s office where I picked up some Pet Tinc and RenaKare Gel. Zavan is dropping tremendous amounts of potassium and iron so I need to supplement him in the hopes of making him stronger.

Dr. Vicki one of the top feline specialists in the U.S. and who helps me with my tough cases says that she doesn’t think this is bartonella as he doesn’t have most of the symptoms associated with the disease. Whatever he does have, or has picked up it is chronic and could he have a deep-seated lymphoma? At his age, this is entirely possible. But she suggested I supplement him with iron and potassium and get him a B-12 shot. All of which has been done.

I found the magic food he wants to eat which is Whiska’s wet- not the best choice but certainly better than nothing. I am also to give him fluids every other day (sub-cu) because she does not believe like my regular vet does that his loose skin is mostly weight loss-

So now, I will go in and see if I can give this gel and tonic to Zavan and give him a bit more strength to fight another day.
