OK.....try Rescue Remedy and Feliway if you get him into the
sunroom.....and expect to spend some extra time there....a nice
recliner or other place for you to nap would be wonderful.

hi Mary Christine,
Yes, he was given his basic shots, but I wasn't sure quite how/where
Panleuk was covered. Someone mentioned it to me as being something I
could transfer via clothing to my other guys, so it got me
wondering. He is completely difficult for the vets to handle, and
would have to be sedated, but the whole thing is rather dramatic, as
I'm sure you are familiar with.
I've been working with him 2 hrs a day since August - initially
through the window just talking while he ate, then observing from a
far. There was just something about him :).
thanks for your input, it's appreciated.

when he was neutered, was he given his basic shots? if so, if you
can get
him the booster, that'll protect him against panleuk, and the other
basics.
depends on your vet--if kitty is really hard to handle or get into a
carrier, some will give you the vaccine to administer at home.
i'm fairly sure that cats don't carry panleuk--if he's been exposed,
he'll
get sick and get over it, or not, but he won't harbor it forever.
anyone? if
he were ever a housecat, which it almost sounds as if he might have
been at
some point, he could well have been vaccinated as a young one, so has
immunity to panleuk already. (and there's no answer, yet, as to
whether or
not immunity, once established by the full series of baby shots, is
lifelong
or not. i ain't even gonna go there!)
