My name is Wendy.

 

I am sharing my experience so I can give others hope.
I rescued a kitten we called Teddy. Teddy is currently 17 months old.

 

Unfortunately, Teddy has been sickly since he’s 12 weeks old.

 

The first illness at 12 weeks presented with lethargy and a high fever which required an emergency vet visit. Upon arrival they examined and x-rayed Teddy, and found sediment in his colon which they told me was possibly litter. He got fluids and antibiotics and his fever resolved and upon re-x-ray The sediment was gone.

Since that time Teddy had been sick. He constantly had loose stool: partially formed- sometimes mushy- sometimes with blood. He had high fevers and lethargy with a greasy coat. His energy was of an old cat- not a kitten. Spending a lot of his time sleeping. When his brother Kitty, who’s the same age, would try to get him to play Teddy would just decline and curl up in a ball.

 

It was sad.

He spent his first year going to the vet every 3 to 4 months with these episodes. He could run a fever of 105, and his white cell count is at its highest was at 60,000.

They retested him for all the major cat diseases and he also had extensive studies on stool and urine, with all his tests coming back negative.
He would stay hospitalized on IV fluids and antibiotics for 3 to 5 days.
He’s been Prescribed Clavamox, Amoxicillin, and Veraflox... with these treatments his fever would subside and he would be sent home with no clear answers. He would be good for a few months meaning no fevers and a bit more energy and then sick again.

It was noted that during his last episode and round of testing he showed low thyroid function which they explained indicated an early sign his system was declining.

My vet felt it may be FIP or a form of cancer, or some type of immune problem which they did not know how to treat or cure other than steroids and palliative care.

They informed me that I should be prepared that Teddy world not live very long.

Doing my own research online I was lucky enough to come across a post by someone who said they had a cat with FIP who was successfully treated by a doctor named

Deva Khalsa. I thought to myself I have nothing to lose, so I did some research on her and I only saw positive reviews. Plus, I watched her videos and read some of her articles, I felt she was highly credible so I contacted her.

 

At that first phone call, I felt very hopeless. However, I will tell you that Dr.Khalsa was warm, down to earth, hopeful and very caring. She laid out a treatment plan for Teddy that made sense to me and we began treatment.
She put him on stem cell activator treatments to support his immune  system which required injections.

 

I’m a nurse but I’ve never injected a cat before  and it was a bit challenging. I will tell you Teddy did not like the injections. When I first started them he seem to get worse, more-lethargic and decreased or poor appetite and I think he found the injections painful which may have been more on the technique or lack of.

I went back to Dr. Khelsa feeling defeated, she supported and guided me through, changing the treatment plan a bit and we persisted.
Teddy had a total of 15 shots inside 30 days. We broke the shots up into every second or third day which Teddy tolerated better and we completed the treatment plan.

I will tell you that I have never seen my cat healthier. He has incredible energy. He acts like the kitten he is...jumping and running around with his brother Kitty like an acrobat. His stools are normal for the first time in his life. He has a great appetite and looks beautiful.

 

I can’t express how happy it makes me to see this little guy well.
It’s been over a month since his last injection and three months since his last hospitalization.

I feel strongly that we saved Teddy’s life.

I am so grateful to Dr. Khalsa. She had hope and a plan for me when my own vets with whom I spent thousands of dollars had no clue. I can’t recommend Dr Deva Khalsa enough.
