So sorry for what you are dealing with Bob……that is one thing the members here 
do get – how important our babies are to us. I sincerely hope and pray the meds 
work for Jelly.

[Jennifer Olson]

Know that MANY hearts here are breaking with yours- and that we're relieved
your messages are finally getting through. I know how very isolated this
situation can make one feel, a personal hell!
There is great strength in your & Jelly's love- THAT can not be changed-
you will do what we all have to face eventually...
Setting our fur-babies free from bodies that have become a prison.
You ARE doing ALL YOU CAN.
NEVER second guess that.
You will know in your heart when you've reached the step where anything
further isn't for Jelly, but comes from our selfish human weakness of NEVER
wanting to let our loved one go.
I am crying WITH you.

Bob,

I am so sorry to hear that your other kitty is going downhill - we do the best we can with what we have available, but so often we wish we could have done more for our fur babies.  And we feel guilty for not having done enough to keep them healthy.  If only Love were enough...

I think it is okay now. Once I posted, everyone else started posting, and Bob 
has also been able to post directly. I am not sure what problem Bob was 
encountering, but he really wanted the support of the group in the awful 
circumstances he is facing again, heartbreakingly so soon after losing his 
other little boy.

difficulty breathing, and not wanting to eat. I don't have any magic

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: FeLV talk still active

[Amani Oakley]

Margo

I am wondering if it might have been those annoying bounce-backs I get all the 
time. I just wrote to Bob now to let him know that my email and yours have come 
through, so I suggested he retry posting his.

I am heartbroken for him. His other cat – Jello – has apparently been diagnosed 
with a tumour in the lung. He told me over the weekend that he was bringing him 
home. He has a high white cell count (18,600), and his haematocrit has dropped 
from 42 to 22 in a few weeks, and he isn’t eating. Bob had sent me his lab 
results previously and even though the total WBC hadn’t been elevated then, I 
told him I thought there was a bacterial infection at play because the 
neutrophil percentage and actual count were both elevated. I think, but am not 
sure, that in the clinic, they had Jello on Bayatril. I suggested he try the 
Doxy and Winstrol. The Doxy is often effective in circumstances where other 
antibiotics are not effective and the Winstrol my assist getting his 
haematocrit to stabilize and improve appetite. I am not sure if Bob has had a 
chance to try this out yet, but he is despondent.

Sorry to interrupt you Amani but I've written a few times to the FeLV list and not seen my mail appear nor have I gotten anything from the list in many days  Have you?  Do you
 know if it's still active.
My remaining cat ( and very special one) is definitely on his way out and I really liked having the support of the group during these times ( most of my friends are " understanding " but don't really "get" how important a pet is to some of us.  I don't
 think I have much time left with him... 186000 WBC, a tumor near his lungs and he's not eating at all ( I have him on Pred, and Mirtazapine and when I pick him back up from the shelter today I'll start him on Doxy, and winstrol just in case it might help a
 bit   HCT dropped from 42 to 20 in the past 5 weeks but don't have a reticulocyte reading as I only had 1000.00 to devote to the guy this month and the Xrays and other exams ate this up rapidly.  Honestly if it is a lymphoma and he doesn't start
 eating on his own I don't think he'll last much longer..  his breathing is being affected as well...
BTW not asking for you to get involved... just wanted to tell SOMEONE who gets it

Hi Everyone,
 
One of our group list is trying to get on the list and says he hasn’t heard from anyone in a while, and his posts are not being posted. He has tried to reach the moderator with no success. Anyone know what is going on?

Here is the exchange I have had with Bob.

Bob, I hope it is okay to post for you, since your emails haven’t gone through.

No word from the moderator and no mail from the list... this is REALLY strange 
and happening at a really bad time...

I am SO damn heartbroken I don't have words...   Jelly is MY Zander...  a very 
special companion much more like a dog.  My shadow whenever I was home...  I am 
going to miss him SO damn much and I don't want him to suffer even a day  
But... I don't want to just put him down while he has a little quality of life..

Won't take up any more time   I'm going to write to some of the other list 
members and see if they have been active

Bob

I am incredibly and deeply upset and saddened by your news. Do try the Doxy and 
Winstrol to see if there might be some change. With that high white cell count, 
there is some sort of a bacterial infection going on, as I mentioned in my last 
email. The Doxy is often effective when other antibiotics don’t work.

I haven’t received any postings from the FeLV group. I find it odd that it 
would just stop functioning. Have you tried writing to the moderator to see if 
there is some sort of problem?
