Thanks, everyone, so much for all of the kind words and suggestions. It means so much to me.

And Texas, I can totally relate – when Sweetie went into the ICU for the immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, I could tell the doctor was steeling himself for me to say no to the blood transfusions (they are expensive), as I am sure many folks had to do. But that was what was going to save her life, and save it it did. The way she would look at me when I’d visit, the trust and love she had placed in me, it was a no-brainer.

We never have gotten the boat we thought we’d be getting with that money, but we still have Sweetie, and all the love she gives us. And her cat, Punkin’. They adore each other. I’ll find them lying nose to nose on the floor, petting each other. Oh, and Punkin’ doesn’t even weigh 8 lbs. It’s so cute…No boat could ever be worth that.

And now is when I have to tell y’all that yesterday I found a hard lump on Sweetie’s lower abdomen. She has soft fatty tumors elsewhere that have always been benign, and we were told that when they were hard, that was the time to worry. Naturally, I’ll be calling my vet first thing tomorrow morning, but I don’t think it bodes well…

And I hear you abt the soybean products – they also interfere with meds for hypothyroidism.

Anyway, on your 5th anniversary, I hope you eat yourself silly with some good fried tofu, and I guarantee you, Sweetie will want some!

and this holistic vet recommends Bovine Colostrum as the “forgotten miracle” supplement.
