Hello all, After meeting with Whiteys doctor whose conclusion is that this is DIM but he's in no pain, and locating a DIM survivor, we've decided to hold onto Whitey, providing he's not suffering. I asked his vet 'what would you do if he were your pet'? and she said she'd have a hard time giving up, especially when there's a spark of life. This morning we thought it was the end, he was lethargic and non responsive, but when I walked in his eyes opened and he ate for me. That was enough, he came home. His WBC are down, his baby red blood cells are up, it's NOT non regenerative anemia. His lymph nodes are NOT affected, he has no rash or lesions. I'm listing his meds below as well as what home therapy we're going for. If anyone can suggest more, please do! Pepcid slurry: .35cc 1X a day-(that's .35cc of a 10mg tablet suspended in 10cc of water) Sucralfate: 1.25cc 4X a day Flagyl: .28cc 2X a day Baytril: .28cc 2X a day LRS: (Ringers) 15cc Sub Q 3X a day The hospital didn't have any Pet Tinic, but the mom of the DIM survivor gave me a web address and I've ordered it. In the interim I've put 5ccs of Ferretvite in four ounces of Pedialyte that I hope he'll sip from. The vet wants me to feed him 15cc of Hills AD 6X a day. I have to say I've read the ingredients and I'm not too impressed. The Marshalls kibble, or Nutro Max Cat canned kitten food has more crude protein and fat than Hills and just slightly less Taurine. Although Hills does have added vitamins and minerals-I'm hoping we can make that up with vitamin supplements. Previously, (when we were just dealing with the ECE) I was boiling or baking chicken, liquifing it in the blender with water, then adding pulverized Marshalls kibble. Wouldn't that be just as good if not better? His iron stores are depleted, so is there a Vitamin B complex supplement out there?? I've been told to use water therapy (supporting him in a sink of tepid water) to keep his hind end muscles from freezing up. He's always loved the water so thats a no brainer. Both the vet & DIM survivors mom said to keep him warm, is there such a thing as a temperature controlled heating pad? Can anyone suggest anything else??
