I cooked for Mai Mai and Dixie using a similar system. However, I
froze the food in muffin pans, popped them out and bagged them. This
gave me a day's meals or a serving at a time. I watch the chickens as
they get near the sale by date. Frequently stores will mark them down
Thanks, Belinda!! I forwarded it on to everyong I know who has pets.

This is my introductory note to you guys. I am Judy Eaton and live in Richland,

Judy,
Sorry to hear about your Wilson's test results. You will receive much good
advise from the members here. I am an Animal Scientist/Animal Nutritionist
from Ohio State University. Feel free to call me at 740-992-5782. I have
had much success with FELV+ kitties and can speak with you
Welcome! Glad you are here and sorry for reason. But, it isn't a death
sentence! My FeLv+ cats, Squeaky and Stripes lived to ages 22 and 16.
Re Wilson, it is really important to get him eating asap. Cats, unlike
humans, cannot go long without eating their normal amount of food. They risk
liver
Hi Judy
We all know what a heartbreak a Felv diagnosis is, but as all of us
on this list know, there is always hope.
Have you tried Nutri-cal? Although I have never used it, I have heard
it described as a highly caloric paste
that is used to help cats maintain weight and also to stimulate
Hi Karen
I would be interested ( as would everyone on this list) in knowing
about the success you have had in treating Felv. Are you representing
or connected in anyway with Immulan ?
Thanks

Dear all
Just been reading the most recent postswhere Imulan is
mentioned, is it shorthand for LCTI ---Imulan's product?
I just want to be clear -- I only just heard of this product.
Thanks, Kerry

My dear sweet little girl Houdini died today. She was just 10 months old.
Test positive twice but never had any symptoms. For the last couple of days
she meowed when I picked her up. This little girl loved to be held and petted.
Since I have 8 house cats, I thought perhaps a bite or
I do the same thing when I come home from the shelter where I volunteer. I

As Laurie said it is important to get enough calories into Wilson. Often
gently warmed meat baby food will entice kitties to eat. It is easy to syringe
and some kitties will lick it off
Houdini left this world in a place that was safe for hernext to
her person. That is so much better than leaving at the vet's. I know
the awful feeling of having one leave so suddenly. Dixie Louise was
on the way home from the vets' when she left this world. We hadn't
been gone 10
Jane,
I am in no way connected to Immulan. Personally, I feel there has not been
enough control group research on the product, and not enough availability of
what research there has been. Having said that, I have seen some
improvement of symptoms with it's use in one of my client's cats.
Sharyl I am SO sorry for your sudden loss of Houdini.She sounded like a great
baby.Hugs to you.

Hi Laurie,
I'm not familiar with what is going on with Charlotte, is she anemic
and if so what is her HCT? If she is anemic has she been on doxocycline
for at least 4 weeks? Positive cats commonly get something called
hemobartonella, it is acually recently called something else but it
PS. Bailey was positive at 5 months of age when I found him and lived
11 years without ever being sick until the last 6 months of his life!!

hard-boiled eggs provide the necessary taurine..
and ground chicken/turkey can be used, and you can watch sales for them and
get that quite inexpensively, too. (and those two are good for crf kitties,

Hi,
Thanks for all your comments, especially about feeding. We had guests over for
dinner tonight and I couldn't wait until they left so I could get to my

ccs of cat food, but I then got on the assisted feeding site
