Hello, Kat:
Manythanks for your warm welcome!
I appreciate your heartening info re: exposure. It
makes me feel a lot better.
What Elvis' vet told my husband was, "He has a 50/50
chance." Which doesn't make any sense to me. A 50% chance
of...what? Naturally, I intend to straighten this out
Hey, wendy:
Your very kind words are muchly appreciated!
It was news to me (I mean, MORE news) that saliva was not
absolutely implicated in the spread of the virus. Likening it to HIV also
made it more clear to me (I'm an LPN).
What I find scary...but I've been remiss! I didn't

I really appreciate your response to my letter. I can

To the Nth degree!

Dear Belinda:
You have my heartfelt thanks for your response to my
letter. Everything I've read here has contributed to the lessening of my
despair about this disaster. Your letter is certainly no
exception!
I was shocked at your info re: bad experiences
vaccinating unknown positives.
That is such good news about Garfunkle - I'm so pleased he decided he didn't
want to go to the bridge just yet. Keep it up Garfunkle xx

I can't believe I left out one of the brightest points of your
letter!
You said, "FYI, the FeLV vaccine is supposed to last 2-3
years..." (I laughed aloud, there) and "...so your others are most
likely ok from the first vaccine." (At which point I resolved to give my

Hi Gia,
While I lived in Missouri for a year I had a similar problem, most
of the vets where Large (farm) animal vets and the three I did take him

Correct me if I am wrong...But I believe FeLV IS contacted primarily
through saliva
Maybe not urine and poop
In saliva it dies as soon as it becomes dry, but what if it is in poop

Can that be carried on a shoe ???
The best defense against the disease is to keep cats healthy,

Belinda,
One of my FeLV + guys seems to be emitting a drop or two of blood when he
sneezes. When I first got himand his sister they came down with a
slight URI and I gave them Cefa drops and it cleared the female completely and I
thought it had cleared Timmy also but he was still sneezing
Gia, I am fortunate enough to live in a city that has a vet school AND a fabulous cats only clinic. But I adopted my 2 boys a few hours north of here in my home town and the vet there did their first exam as well as their snipping a few months later. Now, the vet that my mom prefers to use there

I would get a humidifier going and, if you can get him to sit in the bathroom with you - some steam treatments. The moisture will help. My Bandit had a similar thing when he was wee, a sneeze and there's a red blotch on the wall in front of him. With Bandit, it cleared up by itself and steam

I live close to Dallas, and when Cricket got sick
recently, I was scared because I wasn't too confident

Cricket and I had a horrible experience with a large

him home after the 18 hours of care that he received

Hi, I am sorry that I have not written back to you about my Tsubomi, as
