Hi Antonio,

That's great news about Pallina - well done, it was worth all the hassle. How is she doing now in herself? Is there any sign of the throat problem still?

All the best to you both

Happy New Year to everybody! Antonio, I hope you had a pleasant Christmas and New Year even though you were worrying over Pallina. It is not surprising with all the noise of the fireworks on New Years Eve she was put her off her food as most animals suffer at this time. It sounded like a war zone he...

Hi Antonio, Just back last night from an eight day visit to London so I'm just catching up now with all your news. I hope you had some positive news from the scan today. It's a pity you weren't able to speak directly with a doctor in Belgium, they don't seem very efficient in their feedback - probab...

Hi Antonio, Thank you for all your news. Yes I agree that is very good value. I remember paying about 110 euro just for a blood test and a ten minute appointment. This vet seems very thorough. Maybe Pallina's weight loss could be due to the diuretic also. So the other vet shouldn't have been syphoni...

Hi Antonio,

I hope all went well at the vets today and they were able to use the previous sample to do the test. He sounds like a good vet so I hope you get a satisfactory conclusion this time.

Well Antonio, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly negative that has come out from the tests, nothing to worry about. I assume you haven't heard from Belgium otherwise you would have mentioned it. When they have analysed the fluid from Pallina chest maybe you will have a clearer picture bu...

Hi Antonio and Lilith,

Thank you for your kind words.

I look forward to hearing Mouse's results and also the scan results for Palina today - and good luck Antonio with the vet's visit tomorrow. I wish them well.

Hi to Antonio and Lilith, I'm pleased Pallina is eating better now. I think you should write again to the clinic in Belgium as your email may have been overlooked as they probably receive a lot of correspondence, it can't do any harm to email them again. Yes I am English and have been living here si...

Hi Antonio, I'm sorry to hear Pallina has been sick, I hope she picks up. My cat Ginger had a skin cancer and had to have her nose pad removed which she recovered from very well - I think I was more traumatised than her! I had read that cats that go out are more liable to get sick than ones that liv...

Hi Antonio, Sadly my cat Ginger died from kidney failure the beginning of September, she was 15 years old. She had lost a lot of weight and she gradually stopped eating any solid food, she just ate the juice/gravy from her wet food. I don't think the heat we had this summer helped either. She was ta...

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for the update, (I was getting worried) but Pallina seems to be doing fine. Probably better to have too low than too high regarding the thyroid levels. She's obviously happy in herself and is eating ok.

Hi Antonio,

I've been following Pallina's story as I also had a cat with thryroid problems, among others, so I am missing your updates. I do hope Pallina is progressing well.
