We're all btb this morning in our neighborhood! Ooops, Will-the-dog just reminded me that he'd like his breffis first. That one hour hike with occasional pauses to plop down in some mud puddles (he loves mud puddles and I love the goofy lab grin he gets when submerged up to his collar) last night has worked up an appetite in the old boy.

Wonder what Miss Polly's got in store for me today. A little blue would be nice.

Vines and wishes.

labs are about the happiest breed there is! i can imagine the mud puddles would be irresistible!

polly sure does love yellow . . . still! i need to look back on her condos and see if i've missed anything on her this week while i was gone.

got a chance to look back. i love the description of her "bushy tail barometer!" :lol: it's so true that a happy cat has a happy tail.

I think I gave you these links before, but these are the ones i'd give your vet, plus the PDF on the Tight Regulation Protocol page that's about 5 paragraphs down from the top of the page. Acro is thought to be far more common than previously suspected. IAA is supposed to be more rare, but there are several cats that have had it. if you've got it, it's not rare to you, know what i mean?

perhaps you could just email your vet the links so you don't have to print all of it. This quote is from the New to the Group sticky, all the way to the bottom, one of the posts about acro.

thanks for posting that Patti - i hadn't seen the parts about pilling the cats or intubating them - good info to know.

I gathered articles to send to my vet so i think i'll include them here. some are on the acro/iaa/cushings forum, some are not. but since you've got this post going i'll add them on.
