We have been trying to find help for our foster, who is always tense, rarely sleeps, is allergic to many foods, and not very affectionate. I had taken him to two specialists and three different vets before I had him see Dr. Partin. Dr. Partin suggested having him tested for Bartonella even though he didn't have the red line on his gums that is a hallmark for this. The test came back a strong positive for the infection, and within one day of the first treatment, he became l...ike a different cat. He sleeps now as all cats do and should be able to do, lounges comfortably when not sleeping, and has become the most affectionate cat. He's like a totally new cat, and it is with such relief and gratitude that I watch him sleep, relax, and stretch - just as any "normal" cat we know lives his life. I would never have known about or had him tested for this infection, but Dr. Partin advised it, since she has seen it in other cats previously forced to live outside. I now have hope for him as someone who can enjoy rather than endure his life, and I have hope that we will be able to find him a home, since he now appears both well and has become super affectionate. Thank you, Dr. Partin. See More Read Less
