[Felvtalk] Re. Nutrition

Sherri I wouldn't be worrying so much about her having the "perfect" diet so much as seeing that she eats _ something_ whatever it is.    It will be harder on her liver to NOT eat than to process kibble ( rule of thumb for me is that many generations of ferals ( and people!!) have managed to

Re: [Felvtalk] Negative IFA test

Amy, Your story is similar to mine. I think that there is so much that vets don't know about Felv, so it is great to hear from others with their situation. When I found out that she had Felv from the Elisa test, her blood work was fairly normal and since that time she has gained weight. So

Re: [Felvtalk] Negative IFA test

I'm interested in replies to this as well. I have a somewhat similar experience which I have been pondering over. My own cat, Gravy, tested positive on the Elisa for FeLV in March when we took her in for an ear infection and persistent lethargy. A month ago she had both Elisa and IFA tests and

[Felvtalk] Negative IFA test

My cat tested positive for Felv a few months ago from an Elisa test. I had her tested after she had persistent yeast ear infections and I had read that immune suppressed cats were prone to yeast infections. In addition, when she was a kitten she tested positive but then tested negative. I

Thanks Randy. I do so hope he is right! Keep us posted on your cat as well. From: Felvtalk on behalf of Randy Henke Reply-To: Date: Wednesday, December 21, 2016 at 9:28 AM To:

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's Blood Test Today These look worse PG 2

Well, as much as it stresses her out to take her to the vet, I am taking her back in next Wed. And probably every week for awhile. I asked the tech why so many things were not tested for her blood draw yesterday. She said I needed to ask for a CBC Chem 17 if I wanted that. I didn’t even know what

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's Blood Test Today These look worse PG 2

I'm so glad the bloodwork results weren't as dire as you thought they might be. Good luck to you and Bogey! On Wed, Dec 21, 2016 at 8:37 AM, Sherri Godschalk wrote: > Well I called my vet today for clarification about the test results and > the plan of action. He wants

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's Blood Test Today These look worse PG 2

I think he is wrong on that. I don't think you usually get a rise on the prednisone. I think you can on the Winstrol. I have no idea what he is talking about but the good news is that it probably doesn't matter. She should be fine either way. However, I would monitor the blood work closely and

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's Blood Test Today These look worse PG 2

Well I called my vet today for clarification about the test results and the plan of action. He wants her back on the Winstrol and Doxy now. When I expressed my concern about her ALT he said he fully expected that to rise because of the prednisone injection he gave her upon releasing her. That is

[Felvtalk] Food and Nutrition for FELV

Good morning everyone. I have kind of a general question here for you all. I am walking a tight rope here for my FELV + Bogey as far as to what to feed her. She is hungry and is eating but now we are facing some rising liver enzymes so I think I need to do more than just get her to eat . She is

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogeys Blood Test Today

Thank you Robert. I post that table with her results right out of excel. Sometimes it runs together on mine too. I have put this on Google Sheets so I can view it at work too. Here is a link if you would like to see it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/174GWHyj34zZlky9jdU_9TUBz1leosJGvkZO

Re: [Felvtalk] Curly's appetite...

Thanks, Robert. I'll definitely know what to ask for if it comes to that. Curly is still eating a significant amount of the Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers twice a day and she ate quite a bit of canned tuna last night. We'll be starting the Winstrol tonight and will be waiting on the Doxy until Monday

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's Blood Test Today These look worse PG 2

Hi Amani, In all honesty I was shocked when I compared her last liver test to this one. She is eating so well and drinking. She got so much strength back that I don’t have to kennel her. She is handling the stairs just fine. Urine is clear and great easy bowel movements. When the doc was talking

Re: [Felvtalk] Finding a vet to prescribe Winstrol Southern NY Region...

Ardy... Thank you for the suggestion and the benefit of your experience with DB and Winstrol I guess I can understand their reticence if they can't configure their database to produce that information in a few moments ( of course they could be simply disinclined as well which really can't
