Misha's Friday Update...

We discussed her shots. They gave her the second URI/Distemper shot (she had the first one at the humane society over a month ago). The vet said it would be easier on her immune system if we give the other shots a week apart. She gave me info on the leukemia one to consider. She said it's unlikely anything will ever happen if Misha doesn't get the shot, but our other 3 have had it (according to the vet....I didn't know that) with no problems. She said she had known one cat who tested negative but had kittens that were all positive & died. They realized the cancer was in the bones and she was shedding the virus to other cats even though she was just a "carrier". Other cats in this cat's home have since died. This is the reason the vet said it's good to have the leukemia shot in multiple cat homes where you never know if one cat might be a carrier. She said the decision is mine and to think about it. She said she only uses shots without adjuvants. (These are what are known to possibly cause injection site sarcomas). She feels it would not cause a problem, but she will let me make the decision. I am still undecided. Misha will also need her rabies shot. I am getting her shots in one week intervals so her immune system doesn't have to deal with them all at once.
Thomie's eyes are looking better. I will continue giving her the eye drops until Monday.
Thanks again for listening & for your thoughts & prayers for my furbabies!
Hugs,
Suzy

I am hoping your little Daisy will be able to have surgery soon. I anxiously await the blood test and then hopefully x-ray results.
