The vet ran some tests earlier in the week, her T4 levels are fine but she is currently in renal failure.

I had started discussing this on another thread, but thought I should start a new thread as I don't want that thread to end negatively. Also wanted to give all a heads up - that if I seem to be off or snappy it is probably due to emotions I am dealing with and will continue to deal with for a while. I am aware of this and am reviewing my posts and such before submitting, but I am only human.

Good news is that we met with April's vet yesterday and formulated a plan to help her. Also discussed how she was feeling in general, because we don't want to be selfish and keep her with us if she is in any pain. The vet was so kind, patient and compassionate with us.

After another day without her eating we were very discouraged, however upon getting up this morning and checking on her we discovered she had cleaned out her dishes overnight!

So, positive vibes and prayers would be appreciated. We sure do need them.

I will provide the link to the thread where there is earlier information of what all has happened this week.

And probably 2-3 weeks before I can get my kittens - I want to do some painting and stuff before we bring them home.

I need a comprehensive list of stuff I need before they come home.

Carrier - do I need 1 or 2 - I presume 1 would be ok to begin with while they're still little?

Litter boxes - open or closed? What is the ideal positioning for the litter boxes? I plan on putting one in the kittens safe room and maybe one in the bathroom, I was gonna put one in the utility room, but I think that it'll be too noisy with the washer in there.

I'm gonna build a scratcher/ climber from an old set of shelves I have - the ones I've seen are really expensive and ugly.

I read in one of my kitten books that bonito flakes are a good training treat for them - anyone use these? Also, is it ok to throw them the odd raw chicken wing for a treat? Any other ideas for treats?

If I get two kittens from different litters, will they need to be introduced the way you would older cats? Or will they be fine together straight away?

Any suggestions would be great

Also, my face blurred. I don't know how, but I tossed it up to my amazing camera skills. It's just my nose and mouth really lol.


Whatcha think? It looks messy cause I was in a hurry and couldn't straighten it, so I scrunched it.

Dairyland Greyhound Racetrack in Kenosha, Wisconsin will be closing on December 31, 2009.

900 Greyhounds will need to be adopted otherwise they will be euthanized, now is a great time to consider adopting a Greyhound. They are very loving and laid back. They don't need the space people think they need. They are great for an active family because they have been crated almost all their lives and they sleep about 18 out of the 24 hours a day. They are just looking for someone to love them and supply them with a warm bed!!!!

They test the dogs to see if they are cat friendly and or small dog friendly. They also know if a dog should be a single dog or if they would be great in a 2, 3, or 4 dog house!!!

Please help get the word out! I have listed all the contact information for the Adoption Center below.

Hello to all. I just found this forum and think we have a neat place here. Thanks to those who set it up!

I run an animal rescue center and am thrilled to find other pet lovers and those who have rescued the great animals that are unwanted out there.

We have 19 dogs and 8 cats currently at our place, plus 3 in a foster home. Most are available for adoption, but some will live with us forever due to their age, condition, even breed type.

Sorry, I had to break away from writing this because we had a call about one of the little dogs we have available for adoption!!! That was great news for us. And the potential adopters sound wonderful. This is the kind of news that we live for!

Anyway - I'm happy to find this forum.:) ]]> Introduce Yourself Buckhawk http://forums.petlovers.com/vb/showthread.php?t=43931 http://forums.petlovers.com/vb/showthread.php?t=43930&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:55:54 GMT another question from me today!

anyone had bad experiences with pupperoni snacks? I bought some for Bill and three treats later (the next day) she told me she had to go out, I took her outside and she pooped pure liquid.

she didn't have uncontrolled diarrhea, didn't poo again that day and her behavior was 100% fine we even wrestled that night and play with her new cow toy.

I fed her some eggs for breakfast yesterday just to help out her tummy a bit (this is what the vet said to do for her along with a few other foods)and she's fine now, but we've cut out the pupperonies

anyone ever experience this with these treats? it just seemed odd to me, I mean, this is a dog that has eaten slim jims with no bad reprocussions (on a great occasion too I may add, slimjims are not by any means a staple or typical snack :p) ]]> CKelly976 http://forums.petlovers.com/vb/showthread.php?t=43930
