If its still good (as in not expired) I'd be
more than grateful. I have my girl here, and
the rescue presently has two other kittens
with the wet form of FIP (I suspect a kitten
I fostered from that foster's house ended up
carrying it n to mine. I really feel like
I've let Lucy down by exposing her. Hard not
to overthink that).


It's still good. I'm sure it's nearly impossible not to think that
way, but or course it won't do anyone any good.

Was she giving the Transfer Factor *and* the
colostrum? Because yes, from what I
understand the TF is mainly colostrum. But
I've only been researching treatments since
this morning.


Right, I bought colostrum for my Sibe because it was much less
expensive than Transfer Factor. I don't know whether my friend the
greyhound owner gave both, but it looks as though she did.

Wow! You say "had" so I assume she beat it?
Good for her!


Well, "had" in the sense that she underwent treatment and as far as
she knows the cancer hasn't recurred. Although actually she is having
MRIs tomorrow because she's had symptoms that could be brain mets. I
guess you don't really beat breast cancer until you die of something
else.

If she has a website, I'd be happy to check
it out. Otherwise, I'll email you with some
questions :-)


She doesn't, but there must be a web site out there with information
on it.

It is. And the real bitch of having animals
that are age appropriate to each other
is....well, that they all age at the same
time. $ in less than a year would near kill me.


Yep. We had this happen a couple of years ago with dogs, 5 in 12
months, and it was pretty brutal.

Sammy must have been a bad surprise. That's
still rather young :-(


With a couple of 17 - 18 year-olds around, I considered him young.
Last summer some moron dumped two 11 week-old kittens in the road here
and our neighbor rescued them. We kept one mostly as a companion for
Sammy, so he wouldn't be alone after the oldsters passed. Now, No Mas
Gatos (aka Ivy) is alone, but she seems to think that's just fine.

Thanks so much.

I'll be sending you an email shortly.


I emailed you.
