Re: kitten update

[Guest guest]

For those of you who helped me with the kitten: Went to the vet yesterday.

Vet says he's probably 4 weeks old. He weighs 7.8 ounces. Soundly chastised

me for feeding him raw liver because of toxiplasmosis risk (?). Whatever, i

kept the cat alive. He has a virus in his eyes as Christie said, either

herpes or chlamydia. Has roundworms that i identified earlier. Was given

worm medicine, an immune booster that i give him orally -- Interferon (??)

-- and terramycin for his eyes. And Prescription Diet a/d. I did not go the

holistic route. Money is an issue. But i have to say he is almost normal

now, except for his eyes. My four-year-old returned from a short trip away

and is obsessed with him. She's being pretty gentle luckily and he's getting

loads of attention now. His name is Tiny.

Pleeeeeeeaaaaase come over to RawPaws - rawpaws/ -

and learn about how bad commercial petfood is - even the ones recommended by

vets who get all their nutrition training from the big petfood companies.

Animals on a species appropriate diet have immune systems that ward off worms,

fleas and other bugs, diseases, etc., so you don't have to keep spending more

and more money on toxic chemicals (flea and worm preparations) and other vet

bills later from the effects of those toxins, let alone all the garbage that is

in the food. I've hardly been to the vet and haven't bought any wormers or flea

products since we switched to raw more than 12 months ago. Before that we were

there just about every month.
