Sharyl,
Don't give up hope that some are negative.  Ours initially tested 4
negative, 1 pos.  One of the negs was incubating the virus and tested
positive some weeks later, but the other three
were still negative 6 months later.  Their feral momma tested Elisa
negative (didn't do IFA on her) and she is still running around.  We
vaccinate, and will only retest if a neg. gets sick...

Good luck,
Beth

 Hi, I posted the other day about my 4 13 week old foster kittens who tested
 positive for FeLV.  While we wait out re-testing them, is there anything
 that can be done in hopes of boosting their immune system and fighting off
 the virus?  I am using Pet Tinic liquid vitamins twice a day and
 lactoferrin/colostrum supplement in their wet food twice a day..anything
 else we should be doing?

2008-07-24 Thread MaryChristine
yeah, probably the most important thing we've learned about FeLV is how much
we still don't know--and with colony cats there's mounting evidence that
mixed litters might be explained more by mutual grooming by positive aunties
than by moms themselves--no longer is transplacental transmission the prime
suspect, nor passage through the birtch canal. and if mom was positive
from an exposure late enough in her pregnancy, after the placental barrier
was well established, well, that could/should/might (remember, we just don't
KNOW enough) have protected them, too!

that old cliche, where there's life, there's hope--FeLV might well be the
best place to apply it..

FeLV isn't a death sentence it's just a 4-letter word.

and it is SO good to see you back, beth! i keep trying to grab you on IM but
miss..

I would put them on lysine.  I'm sure others will have more suggestions.  But 
younger cats can catch a cold so easily, and lysine helps with that.

Hi Julie,
Good luck with the retest.  I am not sure if anyone mentioned this or not, but 
the kittens should be retested I think after a certain age, because they can 
carry their mother's FeLV antibodies for a certain time and test positive even 
though they may actually test negative at a later date.  I am thinking four 
months, but not sure on that.  Someone here will know that specifically.  
I swear by lysine for humans and animals (is there a difference?  lol); it's an 
anti-viral.  Make sure you buy pure lysine.  I have also heard great things 
about Vitamin C, but have never used it with my cats.  Let us know how it goes.

no, wendy, they do NOT carry the mother's antibodies. that is FIV--and the
FeLV test doesn't test for antibodies anyway, it tests for antigens. PLEASE
check before you send things out to the list.

as for lysine, it is specific for the various forms of HERPES viruses, not
all those that cause respiratory symptoms. it causes the herpes virus not to
replicate, it does not boost the immune system per se, and it has no known
effect to date on any other virii. this is not news. as an essential amino
acid, it's not going to HURT anything, and some veterinary associations
suggest that all cats, symptomatic or not, should be given daily doses of
it. but there is no value in claiming that it, or any other treatment, does
what it does not.

I also want to point out, antibodies or not, that retesting should still be 
done after a certain age, when a positive result at an earlier age might revert 
to negative after a certain age.  That was my point.  13 weeks could be too 
early, however I'm not sure specifically.  If someone knows the earliest 
testing/retesting dates, could you post them?  We might be able to save Julie 
some money.

Super B complex, folic acid, Lactoferrin, DMG, CoQ10, L-Lysine, 
Brewers Yeast and Mega C Plus in their food twice a day.  The Mega C 
Plus may be a snake oil type supplement but I figured I'd try one 
jar on my positives.

Hi, I posted the other day about my 4 13 week old foster kittens who 
tested positive for FeLV.  While we wait out re-testing them, is 
there anything that can be done in hopes of boosting their immune 
system and fighting off the virus?  I am using Pet Tinic liquid 
vitamins twice a day and lactoferrin/colostrum supplement in their 
wet food twice a day..anything else we should be doing?
