Today I think Coco threw another blood clot or had another stroke.
She tried so hard to live and was given 5 months to live in Jan/Feb 2009.
She beat the odds then I was hoping she would have another chance.
When I got new kittens she would accept them and let them nurse on her as if they were...
The TICA Annual was fun.
Polar acted so bad I had to pull him.
I could not risk a judge getting hurt.
I met Lianna and Cheryl from this site.
I also met Ed Cleo/Polars breeder and some other sphynx breeders.
My poor Coco has been very sick with a URI the last few days.
I have had to force feed her the last 2 days and use vicks with a vaporizer.
The discharge from her nose was very thick and green.
Now she has a cough.
She started antibiotics on sat and the discharge is almost gone.
Her poor nose is...
I gave Coco her Epogen shot for the first time tonight.
The vet showed me how to do it and I hope I did it right.
Her PCV was 20% last Thurs up from 18% the week before.
I sure hope the Epogen will help her.
She also may have a clotting problem now also or liver problems.
The place I get Cocos fluids from makes you order 12 bags at a time.
Coco is very sick with her problems so I need a place that is good that I can order 2 bags of fluid at a time.
Wrinkles got 4th Best Alter and Polar got 3 10th Best Alter.
There were 3 sphynx alters.
The show was fun.
Wrinkles needs one more final to Grand and Polar needs 2 more finals to Grand.
One of the judges told me after the show that she thought Polar was from Ed when she judged him.
Since Twilight died a few breeders have offered a sphynx to my sister through me.
One is a good breeder on the east coast who HCM scans and really cares about the breed.
My sister is going to get her 7 month old boy.
The vet said we will hold off on more kidney tests for awhile.
Cocos PCV stayed the same last week.
When it falls to 20% we will start the Epogen which should be this Thurs.
Snickerdoodle Boos mom sent me some of the Hi Tor and Coco likes it.
She still does not walk well.
The vet did start her...
My nephew found my sisters sphynx Twilight dead today.
I am thinking it may have been HCM.
She was only 1.2 years old.
I told her to tell the breeder but she believes the breeder never cared about her since she got the cat.
Twilight was the sphynx we went to So Cal to get.
Does anyone know what senior foods are ok to feed a cat with CRF.
Coco does not want to eat her renal food anymore.
The vet said I can try senior food.
I was wondering if anyone is going to the TICA Annual?
Lianna said she is coming and she will ask to bench with me.
It should be a fun show.
I heard the ribbons will be great and everyone gets one when they come in.
The movie comes out today and already I have been getting many people asking if they can buy a sphynx.
Wrinkles breeder has had to turn so many people away because they want a sphynx just because of this movie.
I am getting ask if they bite.
People think sphynx are easy to care for when they are...
Coco will start Epogen on Thurs.
Has anyone used it before for their cats?
My Stripe got the shots in 2000 and she did not last very long after that.
Does anyone know anything about Hi Tor cat food.
I am thinking of trying it with Coco.
The show started off bad because the Bengal went after Polar when I went to put him in his sturdi that was next to Leo.
Then he was afraid of the cats in the ring and was hissing which he never does.
So I put Polar in the sturdi with Cleo and put Wrinkles in the single.
Leo was being mean to all...
The I.V. has not helped her at all.
Her numbers went up even with the treatment.
She said I can take her home and try to get her to eat but she does not have much time left.
I got a letter from CFA saying Cleo was the 8th best sphynx alter in CFA last year.
Her name will be in the year book.
I know if I was able to keep showing her she would have been in the top 4.
She was 10 points from 3rd place when I stopped showing her.
Cleo also was the number 1 sphynx alter...
