Hi all; Well, it looks like I'm going to Colo. Springs for a month about next Monday.. If anyone wants some tonic this week would be good to order, or there may be a couple of days delay until the "good old phone co" can get a line in there for email & FedEx link. Timmy is fine, but is sister Tina has almost a golf ball sized mass behind her spleen.. One of the two vets available here think it's the right adrenal, & I've started B-17 with some noticeable energy increase. The Springs & Px has better surgical skills than where I'm at in Longmont/Boulder, so I'm relocating so that's available if needed. Since they're 5.5 yo now, the 2 local vets are not optimistic about surgical outcome with available skill levels / age factors, etc. Sadi, who's 6.5 yo is doing well. The 3 younger rescues are bouncing around like rabbits, & help encourage the olders to play. About 4 months ago Timmy worried me by getting out & just wanting to go sleep somewhere. I then made tonic water available all the time, next to the regular pure water. I used 1/2 oz. in an 8 oz. water bottle, hanging both over a water dish as Terry likes to swim in the water... Too messy & sticky for tonic water. After about 2 weeks of slime in the litter pan, which normalized, they were all bouncing around like rabbits:) (the slime in the box was a normal process of cleansing what needed to get out of the body, & caused no worry. When Timmy was going thru his healing from the "terminal lymphoma" he had about 3 months of the most weird slime, lots of bad stuff that needed getting rid of.) I had all 3 of the seniors looked at & Timmy had no detectable traces of abnormalities according to Dr. Joe in Boulder. Dr. Dave in Longmont gave a mushroom extract to help hold back the aging process, nothing real serious. He also helped my 18 yo kitty with a "chi booster" herbal formula. I think she's even gaining some muscle mass:) Almost 5 months ago she was in very serious shape, & the Px vet said she had "liver failure & anemia". I gave her about 70mg of milk thistle & 2cc of Pet Tinic, oral, twice a day for one week, then once a day for 3 weeks. I was supprised when her blood levels were pronounced "perfectly normal"! She also was switched from "Sensible Choice" premium cat food to Sci. diet K/D.. She's going between that & Kila cat's favorite "Bench & Field Super premium cat food that I have shipped out from Indiana. (It's on Timmy's web site, under resources, foods my guys eat.) I hope everyone survived the summers' heat, some people are saying there's going to be more like this, I don't know. It might be good to plan for Y2K failures like power, electricity, etc.. Some people are saving for stocking up on meds, tonics, etc.. not a bad idea at all. I hear the fed is printing some $500 mil extra cash figuring people will be stocking up on cash in case of ATM or power failure after 1/1/00.. The latest figures point to at least some disruption of utilities, no one seems to know how bad or for how long. I like to have a camping stove, propane, canned food & a manual can opener, & stored water available for any emergency that might come along. Take care, hugs to all Gary & the gang of fur Timmy's web site=<http://www.concentric.net/~Gferret/>; He's the ferret totally healed from "terminal lymphoma" without drugs or surgery. :) ICQ#4461104 [Posted in FML issue 2433]
