Can Shasta be an honorary Cat?
"CATherine" wrote snip So, she got a steroid shot and Clavamox for three weeks, antibacterial spray for the rash and Nystatin for the raw spots and allergy shampoo for daily baths for a week and 2-3 times a week after that. And I spent the day washing my son's blankets and vacuuming his room and especially under the bed and spraying Mite-X. snip Oh, my, what a regimen. Of course Shasta can have purrs. We are also sending meatloaf meditations for her to feel better soon. -- Marina |

Purrs that you can get Shasta's alleregies under control.
I'm sort of a newby in the group, and this might be something that has to be referred to the Mothership, but I think certain d*gs can be voted honorary cat-status. If so I'll second your nomination of Shasta. On 7 Sep 2003 03:08:30 GMT, CATherine wrote: Shasta has spent her life with three cats. She often plays like a cat with her buddy, Amber.

So they took a blood test and had me come back the next day for anesthesia. Then they bathed and clipped hair and found the rash was more extensive than we thought.

Most certainly, Sandy sends doggy woofs & wags and the kitties chime in with many purrs for Shasta, a bona fide "honorary cat." Best wishes to you, too, during this regimen (as if you don't have your hands full already!!), that all goes well. Jeanne |

loves all his 4-legged creatures, even the d*ogs. We hope Shasta finds relief SOON!
