phytoplankton Well it has arrived!

I read the instructions (which were for humans) and they said that first time users should take 1/8th of a teaspoon in some liquid and then build up to a higher dose.

I tasted the liquid and it was like seaweed – a bit salty but nothing too gross – but I was worried that Muis would spit it out when I gave it to her mixed in her pet milk.

As I said in a previous post, the boys will not take their smoothy with the Transfer Factor Plus in it – absolutely not – but the girls lick it up happily. I’ve still been putting 1/2 cup of pet milk in the bowl, together with the egg yolk and TFPlus, but two ferrets can’t finish that much so today I reserved what was left and added the Marine Phytoplankton liquid to that.

I gave Muis her evening dose of pred and then put the liquid in a saucer and got Kahlua to help drink it all up. Absolutely no problems, thank goodness.

After they finished, I made up a bit of pet milk with Poly-MVA and gave it to the boys, who lapped it up eagerly! Since they don’t have anything wrong with them (touch wood), I’m happy for them not to have the TFPlus or Phytoplankton added to their pet milk.

I was looking at Muis this afternoon while she was wandering around the sitting room and, you know what? I think she is looking really well!

She seems to have lost that ‘teardrop’ shape and her collar doesn’t look like it’s way too big around her neck. When she lost her fur, the collar was really rattling around but now, somehow, she’s filled out across the shoulders and her neck size seems to have increased … and, as I said, she is looking good.

When Philip got home from work I asked him to look at her, just to see if maybe I was imagining an improvement but even he said that she was looking better than before!

For the first time since she was diagnosed with her insulinoma, I honestly think she might just exceed the vet’s timeline of 18 months!

If she does, I reckon it was due to the TFPlus. If she doesn’t …. well … I’ll be devastated … but I guess we’ll know by May 2010.
