for Barbara (Baass) re unsubscribe

[Kerry MacKenzie]

Hi Barbara   I'm glad you found a good home for Tom.  Like all kitties, he deserves the best. Thanks for looking out for the little furball. Many people would have looked the other way. (Will you be able to see him/check up on him again?) I just looked back the emails and found this posted to me in January when I needed to add this email address to the list. It has the info for unsubscribe. We'll miss you, all best wishes to you and your family and of course sweet Tom, Kerry     Welcome to the felvtalk mailing list!

I have placed "Tom" in a home as of today. He is in a very good home with other pets and 4 kids. It didn't seem to matter that  he had felv. I explained that it wasn't active and he was healthy and is was okay as long as their other cats had their shots and were older. He is in a very up scale home, so I am very happy. I know he will be happy there. I want to thank all of you on the site for informing on felv. I was going to keep him if I didn't find him a home. He sure is a great cat. I will miss him a lot.

(tho as I recall, echinacea made my cats foam at mouth...the taste.) anitra frzier mentions an herbal remedy to soothe and heal sore and bleeding gums--add 1/4 teaspooon salt to 1/2 cup strong lukewarm calendula and pat on gums with a cotton ball. herbal remedies are usualy taken 3-4 times a day, one to two teaspoons of tea for a cat, 1/2 t. for a kitten. another book mentions calendula for general gum care-purchase a bottle of the mother tincture-put 6 drops in 1 oz of distilled water --if gums are infected already, use a cotton swab padded with extra cotton(from a cotton ball)so tht it soaks up the liquid. (brushing would only irritate gums more). cover both inside and outside of the gums(I guess they mean both sides of the teeth)with the calendula. hope some of this helps. calendula is usually easy to find in a good health food store. interesting footnotes that the vets seem to feel they see teeth problems more in certain breeds and colors. redheaded cats have more gingivitis than other cats. purebreds more at risk-tho maine coons have less problems than abyssinians and persians. My Mr. Bean is red and he ws the first one to exhibit the gum and tooth problems. barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2005 12:19 PM Subject: Re: Need prayers and advice for Ginger > I am taking her to an internist on Monday, and also plan to call Monday > morning to the veterinary dentist office near here to get her an emergency > appointment if necessary.
