[Felvtalk] where to purchase LTCI

Sat Sep 3 09:29:41 CDT 2011

Marcia,

Has Fletch had a blood transfusion yet? I've heard this helps tremendously. 
Did your vet tell you she will order the LCTI? Did she do any lab work to 
find out what his blood cell counts are?

He may have not cried all the way there because he is too weak.  I'm so 
sorry he is such bad shape!!

In my opinion, just go with your heart. I know you don't want the poor 
little guy to suffer.

Hugs~
Lynda
