RE: for Barbara (Baass) re unsubscribe
Problem is that I don't have family here and few friends that I have are not cat lovers. Had a bad experience with cat sitter. She was suppose to come by twice a day and I came home early and caught her here at around 2:00 that afternoon. It was suppose to be in the morning and in the afternoon. I was mad. I had a CRF kitty at the time. I wondered how long she had been coming by like that, only once a day and my getting charged twice. I had another sitter and she was great. She wrote down every thing from the time she came till the time she left. She moved to Houston though. I only had two kitties then. NowI have 5, so I have not been any where over night for 7 years. There is just not any one to trust conpletely. Mitsy has to have thyroid pills twice a day and Samson has to have steriod pills every day because of the Stomatitis.

Re: Advice for a Newbie Appreciated
Hi Nina, Tessa sounds like a darling. I know it's tough to keep them separated, but you'll feel better about making sure you've taken the necessary precautions. Oh, we're definitely keeping them seperate until the vaccine kicks in, I was mostly wondering if it was safe after that, cause I'm hoping Tessa lives a very long time, and am not looking forward to keeping her in the one room all that time. :-) I'm not quite clear on what the seclusion arrangements are at your house. Does Midnight have the run of the house, except your daughter's room, or is she sequestered in another room as well? No, Midnight has the run of the house except OUR room. She generally prefers my daughter's room (and the kitchen), so I didn't think it would be a problem, but apparently she doesn't like the closed door and has decided that she has to be in our room. (Until Tess came, she never bothered with our room, as long as my daughter wasn't in there.) your daughter belongs to Midnight :-) Good way of putting it, lol! It might help to install a screen door in the bedroom where you have Tess confined. That way she won't feel so isolated and Midnight can see what's going on. :-) Midnight is infamous for her hatred of screens - she destroys them regularly. We have to watch her constantly when windows are open in our house, or she scratches her way outside. Good thought, though. Why was Midnight running a temp when you took her to be tested and vaccinated? What was her temp? Does she have any other symptoms of illness? I don't know, the vet said it was slight, and I think they wanted to make sure she hadn't caught Tessa's cold before they vaccinated her? She hasn't had any other symptoms, but she sneezed once at the vet, and with the slightly elevated temp they wanted to make sure she wasn't sick before they gave the shot, I guess? She's been fine, since. Vita C is good to add as an immune booster. I also add L-Lysine, occasionally Co-Q10, and if someone isn't feeling well, I'll add Transfer Factor to their food. The interferon that your vet is talking about, (sounds like a good vet by the way!), is Interferon A, or human interferon. There is also something called Feline Interferon Omega, that a couple of us on the list have tried. More about that later, if you're interested. Just the human versions of the supplements? Or is there somewhere to get cat versions? How much of each? Thanks so much for all your input! Jenn K
Re: Advice for a Newbie Appreciated
Thank you, Chris, that's very reassuring! Jenn K Well, she's been around my other 3 cats for all her life they were never vaccinated. They were all neg I vaccinate them every year mix everybody including Big Boy, the adult stray I brought in. I think that the pos are probably more at risk of catching something from the other cats then they are of catching FELV from them

RE: for Barbara (Baass) re unsubscribe
Before I started using my supers on, I had called someone I knew who does informal rescue but also boards dogs house sits dogsShe could not help me (too booked), but I found there is sort of a network of pet sitters, dog walkers, etc. who are all comfortable using each other for their own pets when needed. This person hooked me up with someone who I ultimately did not use but whose name I gave to a friend with cats. That friend used this pet sitter for years was thrilled. Suggestion, if you can talk to your original sitter, the one who moved to Houston, she might have some names for you that youd never find anywhere else.

OT: for Barbara (Baass) re unsubscribe
You're definitely one of us! You bet. I am dreading going away in July---it's to see my parents in the UK who are unable to travel any more, and my sisters, nieces, nephews, old friends, etc etc and I should be really looking forward to it--but I'm far too worried about how my cats will be looked after (or otherwise) by the (as yet unknown) catsitter. I fired the last petsitter. I caught her out--she wasn't giving the supplements to the positives (I counted the supps before I went away and counted them after I got back, then asked her --without telling her I'd counted them--why there seemed to be too many left...oh boy, did the lies trip off her tongue. When she realized the game was up, she caved in totally. I never would have even thought of setting a trap in the past, but when it comes to my furballs). And I'm darn sure she wasn't coming twice a day, as she was being paid to do. I'm now of the mind that I'm only going to have the petsitter I choose come once a day. It certainly isn't what I want, but I am convinced that that's how many of them operate. Short of having a nanny camera (that they know about!) there's no way to enforce it. :( Any ideas most welcome. Also ideas on interviewing petsitters. In the past I've explained what I needed. Now, I'm going to ask how they operate. See if I like what they say or not.

Re: Innova EVO, anyone else made the switch yet? (OT)
Jenn, I've gotten a couple of bags too. Unfortunately, the only size bag available around here seems to be the 2lb for $8. I'll have to special order anything larger. Everyone seems to love it. I've been putting small bowls of it next to their regular dry, (Solid Gold), and they go for it as if I've put out canned tuna! Getting rid of all the unnecessary grains has got to be better for them. I wish they had left out the fruit and veggies too, but oh well. I still can't let Gypsy, (my IBD girl), have any dry, she has to stay exclusively on raw. It certainly is making me feel better about feeding dry to my other furballs though. If your bald food-allergy cat, (poor baby), is allergic to grain, then it makes sense that he's (?) doing better.

And if so, have you noticed anything amazing yet? Just curious because I THINK it was on THIS list where I first heard about it a couple of weeks ago now. I'm just glad it's still under $40 for a 15 pound bag, I think it came to $36.50 here!

Re: Advice for a Newbie Appreciated
Jenn, So, you're not only an exemplary cat-mom, your an excellent girlfriend too! I'm sorry to hear about Moogie and her Momma. What were Moogie's complications? I lost my Jazz at 18 mos too. I'm guessing the fur-mom of my pos litter also died. Before I knew their status, I used to wonder what kind of cold-blooded person would dump a box of 2 1/2 week old babies. How much trouble is it to let mom take care of them until they're weaned? After I found out about the FeLV, I figured Momma must have died. So sad. Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks!! I try.

Re: Innova EVO, anyone else made the switch yet? (OT)
For the first week of it's release, all anyone had was the small bags. Try calling around now, my local vet got the bigger bags in this past Thursday. I'm not sure what Mythic is allergic to, I never did the entire allergy panel testing on him, but this seems to be helping, and IF it cures him, I WILL know it was the grains! My "sensitive" guy puked it back up and had the runs for the first 3 days, but he soon adjusted, and seems very happy with it now. I probably did the switch too quickly, but I didn't want to buy another bag of the old stuff, so I just immediately did it 1/2 and 1/2 instead of going in smaller increments.

Hi Barbara; My name is Georgette. Your email didnt say were you live. I have a Pet sitting service and I specialize in animals with special needs. I was a vet Teck. I also read in your email that your one angel has thryoid problems. My Tafty had thryoid problems and I had the Iodione Treatment done with one injection and a four day stay in the hospital because it is radioative and now your thryoid is back to normal. AndSamson that has Stomatitis. Take him to aDental Vet that does nothing but dental work on animals and deals with Stomatitis. Have the pockets of the teeth cleaned out and all the teeth but the four canie in the front left in and put the caton gold seal. My Fantasia had Stomatitis when I had all the teeth out except for the four canie and put him on gold seal he never had a nother problem with theStomatitis. But make sure they clean the pockets of the teeths out. My Fantasia was FeLv Positive and it is from that. Fantasia is on the other side now since August 14, 2004.I looked up Stomatitis in vet medical books and found out what to do.

Hi Jenn, I'm sure you've got a lot of replies already. If I were in your situation I would keep them separated until your 3 year old cat gets the felv vaccine and booster. Then wait maybe 2 more weeks after that, and let the cats be together. That's what I have done with no transmission so far (about 10 years). tonyaJennifer Korin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!I hope it's okay to just jump in here. I found this mailing listwhile searching for information about FeLV. About three weeks ago, Iadopted a 6 month old kitten who was tested FeLV negative by therescue I got her from. Tessa started sneezing a lot after I got her,and I took her to the vet to be checked out. During the course of thevisit, they did another FeLV test (because they have a combo of thatwith FIV, and the shelter hadn't tested for FIV) and she was positive.(We're talking tests a literal week apart - the shelter had her testedwhen she was spayed the weekend before I got her.)Anyway, we had just lost a beloved cat to a sudden stomach hernia, andTessa had already slid right into the empty hollow in my heart (and atmy feet), so there was no question of sending her back to the rescue. But, we have an older cat (about 3 years old) who is attached at thehip to my eight year old. They love each other to distraction. Whenwe found out that Tessa was infected, we rushed Midnight, the oldercat right in to the vet (although she had only been exposed to Tessafor four days). Midnight, thankfully, was still negative. We'vescheduled her to be vaccinated (she was running a temp at the lastappointment and we couldn't get it done then).Here's my concern. At the moment, Tessa is isolated in our bedroom. She's on about 4 different drugs to rid her of an upper repiratoryinfection and a yeast infection in her ears. The vet is also talkingabout starting her on Interferon. But, she is a very social kitty. She wants to be where I am, and is constantly trying to escape thebedroom. Meanwhile, Midnight is used to having the run of the house,and though my daughter's room is her "natural habitat", the closeddoor is irritating her, since we never close doors. So she keepstrying to get in. We're just dealing with it until Midnight isvaccinated, but it's hard to imagine keeping them totally isolated forhowever long Tessa is with us. Do you have any advice about + and -cats together? Will the vaccine and Midnight's adult age protect hersufficiently? Or should I keep tossing them back in their own areasevery time I open the door? Will Tessa have a crummy life living injust one room?Also, does anyone know how a cat could test negative one week and thenpositive on both the vet and lab (IFA) tests a week later? Isn't IFAan indicator of a later stage of infection?Is there anything important I should know right away to help Tessalive as long as possible?She is adorable, by the way - soft and gray, yellow eyes, ridiculouslylong tail. She loves on me and my husband, purrs louder than any catI've heard, loves to play with anything dangling and attack my feet inbed, will sit on my arm or lap for hours to be petted and is basicallythe most perfect cat ever.

Please pray/send energy for her, both to get through the surgery and aftermath without triggering the virus, and also that her mouth is her only problem and that it clear up.Thanks,MichelleIn a message dated 5/10/05 1:24:30 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Michelle,What happened with Ginger at the internist's yesterday?

Re: Need prayers and advice for Ginger
Dear Michelle I just logged on to ask you about Ginger, so I'm glad to find your update. Am praying as hard as I can that today's surgery does solve the problem, and she's able to start eating again as soon as her poor mouth recovers from the surgery. (I wonder how long that normally takes?) I hope you both get some rest tonight now that at least today's medical ordeal is over. Sending Ginger lots of healing vibes...I'm assuming she's still in the clinic where they can keep a close eye on her? lots of love and hugs to you both, Kerry - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 8:06 PM Subject: Re: Need prayers and advice for Ginger The internist wanted to do an ultrasound but did not expect to find anything on it, and thought her mouth was horrible.

Re: Need prayers and advice for Ginger
Oh poor Ginger! 10 teeth all at once. Are they keeping her dopey on pain meds? Wasn't Belinda just saying how one of her positives had most of her teeth removed, recovered and has been doing fine ever since? Come on Ginger, stay strong baby.
