Hi all The past two weeks have been very hectic. I am dealing with my fiance's illness and hospital doctor visits. Human medicine can be quite frustrating dealing with insurance companies and doctors that are booked months in advance. Junior has been doing fairly well. He is stable at least, I

Hi Sally, I don't have any experience with the actual eye removal surgery, but we adopted Smookie while she still had her stitches. She was a kitten, about 4 months old, when she had the surgery. She was fine when we brought her home, but we did have to fight a corneal ulcer in her remaining

Was she Felv positive. I had a cat who had the surgery. It is not very invasive. I just woorry about his FELV status and how this would affect his health. He is back on the glaucoma drops but they do not cure the problem and he hates the drops. Thanks Sally On 6/27/07, wendy [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Interferon Alpha and Roferon are the same thing - I think Roferon is a brand name. Island Pharmacy sells interferon Alpha in pre-loaded syringes that you can order for oral administration for your FELV kitty. See http://www.islandpharmacy.com/site/1420401/page/769212 Immunoreglan is

O my God! That vet is horrible! I'm shocked she would be so interested in killing the babies! And you're right about not knowing about the mamacat. The thought that vet may have murdered her makes me physically ill. If in fact you want to make a case out of it, I would ask the desk or

*Okay, here's our situation - we have a double positive mom with four kittens. Two tested light positive for FIV, the other two tested positive for FeLV (one light, one strong... whatever that means). The kittens are only 8 weeks old, and we understand the results are meaningless at this point.

Add lysine to their diet. You can also try interferon, but you'll need a vet for that. Honestly, I would not separate the kittens like you have done. What you are seeing now (test results) can change at any time, and it seems like a lot of extra work, kinda pointlessly, to me. They will either

When Junior was hit by a car a year ago the vet first tested him for FeLV. He was negative. She was wonderful and saved his life. Yes I am sure she would have sugested PTS if he had tested positive at that time. He had a broken jaw, split pallete and eye injury. He also had infection in his sinus

Deana, I'm so glad that you've found this wonderful group! You are wise to find another vet; one more educated on FeLV. After all, these kittens may not even be pos, and even if they test pos later on, they still have a 40% chance to sero-convert and be negative. So keep fighting the good

My Pippin was a slight positive on the ELISA at six weeks of age and came up negative on the IFA five months later. The vet thinks it was a false positive. But, it's possible Pippin could have thrown the virus. Gina Debi Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Deana, I foster
