Re: [Felvtalk] stomatitis
vitamin E 200 I.u.'s human dose, once a week. if your cat doesn''t like it (mine chews it up and swallows it willingly, the only med that she will take without a fight and she is missing 8 teeth), you can cut it and squeeze the goo onto the affected area. This clears it up all the time for my cat. OR, there is this expensive ointment that is usually used for dogs, that my vet gives me. Mupirocin Ointment, 2 % 22gm. that works too. IT also lasts a LONG time. My cat eats both dry and wet,and prefers the dry. I grind up the grilled or sliced varieties of fancy feast wet to tiny morsel size, and they will eat it that way. It makes the tiny cans last longer and they still have the texture that they perfer. Hope this helps. You guys don't hear from me much because one of your members got mean to me and smeared my name and ruined my reputation on this site. But I am overlooking this because I DO know what helps the kitty in this instance.

I'm fostering an FIV+ cat right now who has pretty bad stomatitis. We had his teeth cleaned and 6 of them removed, and after a few weeks of antibiotics post-dental surgery he was doing much much better-- eating a lot more, gained 3 pounds in 3 weeks, not seeming to have any mouth pain and the redness was all gone. We stopped the antibiotics (which had been clindamycin then switched to clavamox) and he remained ok for a few days. He then went to a potential adoptive home with another FIV+ cat. A week later she called for us to get him back, largely because his mouth got really bad again. He is back on Clavamox, and has been for a few days, but is growling when he eats and can only eat wet food that we break up into very small pieces. His gums are very inflamed again. I had 6 FeLV+ cats, but was lucky that none had stomatitis like this.

Re: [Felvtalk] Re OT: DNA
I am the 'Alice' that laurie is referring to. I too, am curious what I have done to cause this confidential DNA. I have NO ambition to harm any cat or person. Those thoughts and actions are alien to me. Yet I seemed to have ruffled some feathers somewhere. I did take in a kitty named Bella. I love/ed her with all my heart. However, my youngest kitty, Sophie did not. My vet recommended that Bella leave my home. As we all know, stress can trigger the leukemia to activate. I feared that the stress was too much for all of us. Bella is a sweet, beautiful tortie cat. I want only the best for her. This is a public apology to Laurie et al. All of you readers may rest assured that there will be NO retaliation of any sort. I am not a violent individual. I love cats. I always have, and always will. I will not be adopting any kitties from this sight nor any other site. Nor will I be going to any shelters for more cats. My 2 are enough. And when the time comes that these 2 kitties cross the rainbow bridge, if I decide to get another, it will come from a family farm. So all of you can release the breaths you have been holding. And, with this message, I will be unsubscribing to this list. I will seek education from another source. I hope this note has helped you all understand what triggered Laurie's message.

She was euthanized by a gentle and sympathetic vet while I stroked and talked to her. I told her she was deeply loved. Yesterday I got second and third opinions from vets I felt were genuinely interested in Pixie (unlike the apathetic first vet) and it was terrible news all around (see the bloodwork analysis below). In the last two days she deteriorated quickly before my eyes despite the regimen of syringe-administered diluted wet food prescribed by the vet. Her breathing had become increasingly fast and shallow (a vet explained she was gasping for oxygen due to the anemia). She was crying out in pain, even while lying still, too weak to stand up or walk, and staring blankly. It was heartbreaking to see her suffering. Things she once enjoyed held no interest (favorite stinky foods, lying in a sunbeam, toys, going out in the yard, being brushed). I emailed the lab results from Pixie's bloodwork to a friend who's a vet in Canada and her analysis was: There are a couple of things on her bloodwork that are alarming. First of all, she is very anemic (ie very low red blood cell count). In conjunction with what's going on with her high white blood cell count and platelets though, I'm less concerned about the anemia itself and more concerned about an actual leukemia (ie cancer). Her red blood cells and platelets are both very low which indicates that the bone marrow is likely diseased and not producing them properly. On top of that, according to the written interpretation at the bottom, the red blood cells and platelets that do exist are all showing signs of immaturity- this means that they are not sticking around in the bone marrow long enough to mature completely because something (ie the leukemia that is pumping out cells) is taking up space in the bone marrow. Besides the changes in her CBC, some other parameters also point towards this diagnosis: her calcium level is elevated which is often seen in association with cancer and her CPK is high which might indicate muscle wasting. Muscle wasting is often also seen with cancer. I thought yesterday was hard (choosing to end Pixie's suffering helping her cross over) but today is even worse. Waking up with no Pixie at the foot of the bed, no Pixie meowing for her tuna, no Pixie scampering down the stairs. Seeing her things everywhere -- food bowls, toys, blankets, cat grass, scratching mats, the armchair she shredded, a brush full of orange fur -- is devastating. HOW can I possibly live here without her? Pixie was born in South Philadelphia in spring 2005, rescued from the streets during a snowstorm in February 2006, and came into my life in March 2006. She was a feisty little champ like Rocky. Pixie became a Dutch cat in August 2006 when we moved to the Netherlands (her permanent final home), flying Northwest so I could bring her in the cabin, tucking her carrier under the seat in front of me, and carrying a pop-up make-shift litterbox, food, water, vet documents, and Rescue Remedy.

Re: [Felvtalk] ot-sneaker fip?
Hey, there is a new injectable antibiotic out called Convenia. The vet gives one injection and it lasts for 14 DAYS!! My little Miss Clara got it the last time, and she back to her old self and antics the very next day. She's hard to give meds to too.

Since then, she has been treated with Staphylococcal Protein A and has recovered very well from severe thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. The lymphoma had an apparent short time of remission but returned in a persistent constant slow growth. A chemmo protocol using L-asparaginase+Prednisone was initiated and interrupted after 3 weeks since no effect was noted. A recent ultrasonographic image exam showed a large and encapsulated tumor. Considering that Pupa upholds good red/white BCC, I decided to begin a more aggressive chemmo protocol (COP: cyclophosphamide, vincristine, predinisone) two weeks ago. The response was surprisingly: five days after the first COP session, the tumor reduced to an unstructured mass, and at the eighth day, when the second vincristine injection was done, no sign of it could be founded by touch inspection. The vets were astonished such a rapid remission and we are praying so that thus remains for a long long time. The third chemmo session is to be tomorrow, after checking the results of her new hematological exam. My question, I hope you could help me by previous experience or knowledge about, is: Should I have to shorten the protocol or at least reduce the drugs dosage (in order to avoid the side effects that are beginning to appear)?

On the chance that she isn't pregnant you really need to separate them until one of them is fixed. Also, if you do plan on letting her have the kittens if she is pregnant, I would start saving some money now, because you will need to get her kittens S/N before putting them out for adoption, also incase she has a difficult delivery and needs emergency care. The rescue that I work with (I foster kittens when we come across them TNR'ing) does not adopt out intact kittens. Which unfortunatly is the only way to ensure that a cat will be S/N' d these days.

These kittens are so healthy and happy..they are the most loving bunch I have ever known. I am desperate to try and find them homes. They have been separated from the negatives and are temporarily being kept in someones spare room. This is not a permanent solution obviously. I am hoping and praying that when they are retested that they may go negative..but our vet tells us that is very unlikely and I should look for homes for them where they can be only kitties or with other FeLV + cats. We have 2 from last year that we were never able to find homes for..they became permanent fosters...this is not doable for us now as we have no foster that can keep them indefinitely.
