Tubby the farmcat
Well, I spoke with Carol Ann today. They have taken Tubby off the
medication. They consulted with their SIL who is a phisician and he said that the medication is very toxic and damaging to the liver, even in humans. That if he survived the infection, the drug would probably kill him soon afterwards. Furthermore, Tubby hated the medication so much that he would run whenever he saw Carol Ann coming over. He even moved out of the house and started spending all his time outside. This was very hard for both Carol Ann and Tubby. She said she sat down with Tubby and told him she wouldn't torture him anymore, "No more pills Tubby", she said. He then jumped on her lap and headbutted her, thanking her for that choice. He might be able to fight off the infection on his own, if he starts eating. Which he has. But not what you expected. He's caught a couple of mice and ate them. Now Carol Ann has gone and bought him feeder mice from Petsmart (I know, she wasn't feeling good about it, she called them "rats" because that would make her feel more at ease) for Tubby. He seems better, but still sick. At least he's eating. I suggested green tea to help boost his immune system, she's going to try that too. It's really amazing how much people care. Everybody who goes to the farm asks about him and many bring various foods for him to try, from Rx cans to fresh organic chicken livers. He's a very loved cat. I'll keep purring for him to beat the infection and to have many more years greeting visitors to the farm. Regards.

I don't know what kind of infection Tubby has but if it's a UTI, Persia has benefited much from 'barley' (acquired from Drs. Foster/Smith web site). Good luck to Tubby! Jill |

I wonder if those "live culture yoghurts" would help? Very effective with helping humans with certain fungal infections. The bacteria in the yoghurt even reduce the amount of lactose in the milk, which makes it tolerable even to a lactose intollerant human like me. -- Jette "Work for Peace and remain Fiercely Loving" - Jim Byrnes http://www.jette.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ |

Please continue to keep us informed about him. Has Carol Ann tried baby food yet? Pam S. who swears that Berfert was brought back with a combination of baby food and antibiotics |

Let's hope the natural diet will take care of the problem. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |
