I had a kitty with uneven pupils, the vet felt it was a tumor but she also had toxoplasmosis and I suspected that was what it was as it did seem they normalized after treatment.She was feral, FIV+, toxo CRF, and did great for 9 months with fluids and care, no further eye problems, we had to

Ember had a good vet visit. I wish I could convey everything that the vet said. He doesn't know what's causing the situation. We decided to send out for a toxo titer, despite the lack of lesions when he looked into her eye. He also gave me some symptoms to watch for if this is actually

Not really sure. I'm hoping for mid-October, though that's getting pretty close and I still haven't found a place. We'll see. I'd like to move in first, then come back to retrieve Ember after things are settled, so she doesn't have to endure the craziness of moving stuff in and unpacking.

that sounds like a good plan. Hopefully you'll have figured out what's going on with her now and will have time to get her back on the DMG to give her immune system a boost before the trip. We're thinking of her, keep us posted. Jane On Sep 28, 2009, at 7:41 PM, Lance wrote: Not really

Thanks for all of the advice! I'm going to take Ember in on Monday. I'll report back after I hear what the vet has to say. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Hello List, It's been a long time since I've posted anything, and I must admit that I haven't been keeping up with posts for quite awhile. Some of you may remember that I have an FeLV+ named Ember. She's still with me, though I have noticed something different lately, and I have another

hi, lance! going back up to the frozen north, huh? as one who transports FeLVs and FIVs and other special-needs kitties all the time, the best bet is what you mentioned: be her chaperone, with her as carryon luggage. that way she's never out of your care; her plane ticket will be between $100-200

Lance it is great to hear from you. I realized that you were MIA a while ago and was hoping that Ember was ok. I've not had experience with the pupil anomaly but MC's advise about a vet check sounds right since her wbc was low. She might be fighting an infection. Also, Laurie's travel advice

you can request a private x-ray screening, too--they have separate rooms with their own little machines, and you have to take the kitty out of the carrier and let them make sure she's not carrying bombs strapped to her waist (according to another member of this list, whose identiy i shall

Hey Lance, nice to hear from you. The only time I've had that happen with the pupils being different sizes is with an FIV+ kitty, can't say what caused it or what it related to. Re air travel: The last time I flew with a cat in the cabin - which was probably 2004 or thereabouts - was
