Calvin. Arguing with Phil is dumb enough, but now that you are actually
second-guessing both he AND your vet, that's a bit much.
You're WRONG. Let it go. It happens to the best of us.

Dude, I don't need you coming in here now to flame me after
I've already acquiesced and started doing it as the vet prescribed.
You're late, and your input is not needed, since I'm obeying
the vet.

But you still think he AND Phil are wrong.

As for arguing with Phil, I don't know him from any other
usenet poster, since this thread is my first contact with
him. Until your barging into it, this thread has been civil.
Now please go away.

Dude. I don't think so.

**** the Internet, Calvin. Any idiot can post anythign on the web. You are
living proof of it. Google Phil a bit more and see where he gets his
information. He has saved lots of cats' lives around here, and at home in
NY. You have better things to do than argue with Phil over medical
treatment
of cats, believe me.

See response to your previous post.

Yeah. So what? I think you're stupid.

Let me just clarify this a little for you, Cal.. You're objecting to the
advice given you by two people who have worked with actual cats and their
actual heath issues for years, based upon stuff you found on the web.

Pretty stupid. HTH.

If you want your words to sting, you will need
to develop a better posting personality.

Let me clarify this for you, anonymouse. I took their
advice, and then you came along to insult me after
I did so.

Pretty stupid, huh?

Calvin, Why don't you listen to Phil? He probably knows more about this

If Phil P told me the best treatment for a condition was to feed the
cat 20 tablets of LSD whilst adminstering 2 bottles of vodka rectally-
I'd go out and get the stuff!


I second this. Calvin, please listen to Phil P. I've been here for a
long time, and Phil is one of our most experienced and knowledgeable
posters, and gives good advice.

Suddenly, without warning, calvin exclaimed (5/25/2009 9:12 AM):


I started the interferon today, but I don't believe it is the
low dose. What I read on the internet shows the Greek
letter alpha after the name and says that it is given every
day, not by the seven-on seven-off sequence. But I give
up and will do whatever the vet says. He can take the
blame if harm is done, though it shouldn't be about blame;
it should be about compassion for the poor cat.

Calvin,

Thank you, for your cat's sake. As has been mentioned previously, Phil
P. really, really does know what he's talking about. I understand that
you might not know him from Adam, but if you did a little Google Groups
research you would find that he does give good advice and has saved many
cats' lives. He has given me good advice, which I have followed, and
which has helped my cat out tremendously (here's a link to an example:
http://tinyurl.com/pnesvb)

The only harm done would have been if you continued to ignore both your
vet's and Phil's advice. BTW, if you so distrusted your vet's opinion,
why didn't you go to a vet for a second opinion? I would have!

The problem with internet research is that it's not exactly a balanced
sampling - people are much more likely to post bad results than good
ones, so it's a good idea to multiply each "good result" you find by
about a factor of 10, while leaving each "bad result" as just one case.
(did that make sense? (Gx10)+(B) = approx reality )

Anyway, I'm glad you're at least trying the interferon. Please let us
know how it goes!

You took their advice while still claiming it cannot be right. Hence your
comment that any bad outcome is the vet's responsibility. Now then, I am
going to let you have the last word. Because I am embarrassed for you.

I don't have any agenda. Just speaking the truth as I see it.

Whatever you think makes you look good at other
people's expense. There are people like you all over
the internet.
