Brrrr, Leslie; we're going to 23 or lower tonight and that's cold enough for me. Continued prayers going your way and adding the safe return of Gator to them. {{{{Hugs}}}}

3cat, I have come to depend on your excellent research and analysis of the reports. Thank you for starting this thread.

In so many ways, everyone here contributes something vital, every day, and a sense of community.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Happy Anniversary, Cassi! It's a day to celebrate, as it was a day of good fortune for both you and your meowmie! Looking forward to reading more of your antics.

I'm so glad you got Houdini! Still keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for Jess to have something minor and easily treatable.

Good to hear that Elvis and Davey are holding steady. Hoping they can gain a little weight.

Ha ha ha, Carol, that's the feline idea of floor art!

Also keeping your friend Barbara in my prayers, and you and your family (animals and humans) too. Wishing everyone who needs it a full recovery, and for you, a chance to catch your breath as you rush to help everyone! Bless your heart, Leslie, you are taking care of everyone around you!

Sandi,thank you for doing all that work. Massive GI upset is definitely common in all this.

With regard to the lab results, we see smaller numbers of pets but in some of those cases it could mean that the other ill pets simply were not tested for the Bun/Creatine ratio, the liver levels, and/or the pancreas levels. (Not suggesting they would have definitely shown those same lab findings, only that we don't have the data because the tests weren't done. So we cannot say with certainty either way.)

If someone has made those points about the lab results before, sorry for the duplication, I just missed it. With Sandi's tabulation, it jumps out at me.

OK, what I'm trying to say is that in my opinion, you can't say there is no consistency in the reports unless every pet has the exact same tests.

Leslie, what an awful day! Sending prayers for your friend, your family and the two doggies. {{{Hugs}}}
I sure do hope everyone will be OK.

{{{{Hugs}}}} Carol. I hope Harry gets into the calendar.

Wait, do I hear something? Now I know where that strange tune I can't get out of my head comes from, every time I'm late with the cats' chow.

Offy, Sandi, and Tesla, you are making my day with your funny cat anecdotes! As for re-rolling toilet paper, oh yeah, been there.

I am so sorry, Rosey, you have my sympathy on your loss. Sending prayers for you to have peace and comfort. You have to allow yourself the time to grieve which is different for everyone. Poco's idea of a grief counselor is very good. And I hope you can get your song published, too.

My cats are eating more since it got cold, too. We've been going below freezing at night, aaarrggh.
