Hi Everyone...
I just wanted to thank everyone for all your help and kindness and tell you
that Wowie passed yesterday morning. He declined very quickly and we had tried
the pred shot but it didn't help this far along. I was home with him and he was
in my arms when he passed away. I miss him so
Thank you everyone for your kind words and words of advice on Wowie's
situation. Update...I spoke with another vet who was so helpful and
knowledgable and asked him about the medications some had mentioned on the list
and also asked him to explain things I didn't understand. I went to see him
Hi All-
I had written a few days ago to ask about teeth. I took Wowie to the vet
yesterday and he is not eating but not beacuse of his teeth. He is not well and
in fact, his health has taken a turn for the worst. The prognosis is not good
and neither is my state of mind. I have to make a
Hi Everyone...
I wondered if anyone could offer advice on feLuk gum disease. Wowie has stopped
eating. Not for lack of wanting to,
but the only thing I can guess is that he is in pain. I have been brushing his
teeth as the dr suggested, and have been
brushing with both toothpaste and a
Dear Kerry-
I'm a bit of a lurker on this board but read your email about the shelter for
FeLV+ cats and wanted to say a little something. I adopted a cat I found
outside my office in November of 2005. He tested positive for FeLV and that's
how I came to find this wonderful list of people and

Quickly I just have to point out that pom poms had me laughing pretty
hard...now onto the big stuff...
As far as Wowie's eye issue goes, it didn't look TERRIBLE but something was off
with it, because he was squinting with his right eye and the upper and lower
lid looked bright
Well I took Wowie (Brooklyn) to the vet today for his eye infection, which I am
now treating, and the dr said to me
He's not neutered!! I said well, last I was here, I was told he was at more
risk under anesthesia being FeLV+ so I am
hesitant. Asked me if he was an indoor cat I said yes, he
Hi Everyone-
I think that Brooklyn AKA Wowie has an eye infection. I noticed he was
squinting with his right eye this morning and then looked and it's all pink and
swollen and teary. Anything I can do until I get to the vet?

Hi everyone...

I haven't been around much because I've been doing a lot of engagement and

I am sorry to hear about Garfunkle, but glad to know that you were granted that
extra time with him to say your goodbyes and send him off to his new life. That

Ok either I'm completely moronic or my cat is a superhero. I can NOT do any of
the things suggested to give him a
pill. I don't know what to do, I'm so frustrated I'm on the verge of tears.
Tried crushing in food...he won't eat. Tried
giving orally, he spit it out, scratched and bit me...tried

Well, Brooklyn went to the vet today for an exam and to see about the G.I.
issues he's been having since last night.
Dr. said that there's no way he could know whether the diarrhea and vomiting
are just a GI upset or if it's FeLV
causing it. FeLV is so confusing. He just explained it all to me
Oh and PS Brooklyn gained 3.5 pounds.
Thank you SO much to EVERYONE who gave their opinions. I think it is so
important to get every viewpoint possible
because it always gives me more to think about, and helps me to think of things
I otherwise would not have. And
even if some of the ideas are opposing or just slightly different, I
Hi All-
Well, tomorrow is Brooklyn's vet visit and just today he suddenly started
feeling sick. He was fine yesterday. He has
diarrhea, has been vomiting and is lethargic and not eating. I'm not happy, but
at least we are seeing the vet
tomorrow. This all worries me of course, but I don't want

Wow, I can't believe there are other vegans here. I hardly ever meet any. As

Yes, it is very common when feeding cats a vegan diet, that they get UTI's as a
result of an improper PH balance. Vegancats.com therefore sells a product
called Enzymes PH which helps and I think is great for any cat vegan or not
that suffers w. UTI issues. If anyone's interested in the

Hello-
My name is Rebecca and I am totally new to the cat world. I have some, but not
extensive knowledge of cats, and just brought a cat into my home who tested

Also, ask your vet to make sure that they only use ISO gas, and not
