Hi Everyone! Thanks for your support and advice when I was upset after Antigone and Minima were diagnosed as having adrenal tumors. I took them to a second vet who said that without further testing, it's impossible to tell what ails them based only on urinalysis. Since neither of them are actually sick, and I can't afford either the surgery or the bloodwork/Xrays/etc to test for tumors, I decided to try diet improvement stuff to see if their coats got better. The vet suggested adding zinc to their diet, so I did. Amazingly... Antigone has FUR again around her tail! Within a week of getting the zinc added to her diet, she had a noticeable amount of brownish fur growing in, especially just above her tail, but also all over her body. Her new brown guard hairs give her a distinctly beige sheen, which I've never seen on her before. Unrelatedly, she has lost the extra weight she was carrying around and seems to be more active. She's turned into a lean, (not at all) mean, brown fur machine! :) No sign of change yet on Minima, but the vet also suggested chopped (raw) beef liver or pork heart as the best nutritional supplement. Unfortunately, my two won't eat stuff like that. Any ideas? (I already tried coating it with linatone - didn't work) Victoria Hadfield Please send email to: [log in to unmask] (the "hadfield@zoo" account is about to die) [Posted in FML issue 0479]
