He did say that neither he nor Dr. Snyder have ever seen a case like Cricket's where the teeth have been pulled, resulting in a cure on only ONE side. Highly unusual. He thinks that it's not impossible for Cricket to *someday* show a complete and instantaneous, if very mysterious, remission of all of his symptoms due to the strange parameters of his case. I guess we can pray!! But all in all, Cricket's doing better tonight. He's even played a bit but is still mostly sleeping --- and he's a champion at that!! Thank you for asking. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Denise, I printed out and took with me the article that you sent me the link for. Unfortunately, as we discussed the different options, the interferon only has a 50-50 success rate (at least that's what they've seen) and the costs are prohibitive, even for us. Dr. Gratton assured me again that cats do much better on depo than dogs do and since Cricket responds so well to it, it's probably the best thing we can do for him. No matter what, we HAVE to keep him eating." on 8:01:22 pm, Sat, 08/18/07

Well, if the depo helps him, then thats great. As you know, Julie gets that and the vet told us that cats tolerate steroids very very well with few if any side effects. They metabolize it differently. Buit I am glad he is feeling better. That poor baby has been through so much, not to mention his mom and dad. We'll just have to keep praying for a spontaneous remission and hopefully, that will happen - an soon! As for Emme's eye, maybe she has a herpes infection. My Missy has that and it recurs every now and then but it is not a big deal and as long as it is treated, it causes no future damage. Hopefully now, you can have some peace and get some rest.
