Re: [Felvtalk] age

I use Revolution for fleas, which also is wonderful for ear mites. I have never 
dealt with skin mites, so I don’t know if Revolution would treat those as well, 
so check that out. Revolution is really great to apply as well, because you 
just apply the contents of the tiny container onto the back of the cat’s neck – 
very simple and very effective.

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for taking him :)

What are you using to treat him for mites and worms? It shouldn't 
be difficult to keep them under control after initial treatment, so is 
something else going on?

Where are you? No need to be specific, just general area, and maybe 
someone can offer more "local" advice. V take FeLV+ cats.

[Felvtalk] Knowledge is power

[Jennifer Olson]

If I had known about the need for FeLV+ homes before I got my other cats, I
just might have started a little refuge myself. How worried SHOULD we be
about keeping the FeLV+ stray I've become attached to over the last few
weeks?
Worrying is ruining quality of life here...

wHY SHOULD Y9OU CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK?  I have had 2 FELV cats, 1 is 
still with me and my 3 other cats.  Everyone is healthy.  I take in a cat or 
dog no matter what their health.  I do what I can for them and they then stay 
with me as long as they can.  They give me love in returnfor my love for them.  
That is all that is important, not other people's opinions.

Perhaps I missed something along the way... another email perhaps??   
I'm not sure if I understand your question...  Why would you have 
concerns about letting people know you have FeLV catsand moreover 
why would you feel somehow badly that you are NOT embarassed.  I've 
never noted any discrimination on the part of other cat owners against 
people with FeLV cats  The question took me so offguard that I feel 
I MUST have missed something along the way ( eg... you run a pet care 
business or something similiar   ?? Apart from anything like 
that I don't see the downside ( even potentially) of letting people know 
that you are kind enough to look after animals that have special 
needs...

Subject: [Felvtalk] Nasal polyp

Anyone here ever dealt with a nasal polyp?

My 15 yo FeLV cat started having a chronic bloody nose (in one nostril 
only) about 6 weeks ago. We did a shot of Convenia, then tried 2 weeks 
of azithromycin antibiotics. Didn't help.


I took him in for a follow up yesterday and upon closer inspection we 
discovered a polyp visible just on the inside of his nostril. It was 
too small to remove with tweezers, so the vet prescribed another round 
of azithromycin to kep infection at bay, and suggested we wait a month 
or 3 for it to grow bigger so we can remove it.


I'm just glad it's not cancerous, but the poor guy has sneezing fits 
daily, wakes up with dried blood crusted around his nostril each 
morning, and I'm wiping bloody specks off my floors and walls (from 
the sneezes. Looks like a mini crime scene in my house :-P)


Curious if anyone else has had to help cats with nose polyps.

Thanks,
Katherine

I just had a slight cold issue and it seemed Annie always got in my 
face when she sneezed.  I took her to the vet first day since she is 
positive (age 8 going on 9) and felv issues usually start with upper 
respiratory.  She got a shot and I brought home some antibiotics to 
give her. She seems to be getting better.  I have been sofortunate 
with her that this is her only illnes.

with blood all over the place as well.

Anyone here ever dealt with a nasal polyp?

My 15 yo FeLV cat started having a chronic bloody nose (in one 
nostril only) about 6 weeks ago. We did a shot of Convenia, then 
tried 2 weeks of azithromycin antibiotics. Didn't help.


I took him in for a follow up yesterday and upon closer inspection we 
discovered a polyp visible just on the inside of his nostril. It was 
too small to remove with tweezers, so

Why would people judge you?  I have an FIV cat and  now a felv cat.  All 
strays.  It's wonderful to help out the cats that need it the most.  My cat 
will be 2 years old and is just fine besides having the FELV status.  It is a 
great thing you are doing.

It is really up to you. Nothing forces you to explain your actions to anyone 
else. However, if you do choose to share, it certainly helps others to know 
that there are options and hope for FeLV cats. Certainly, the message we get 
from many vets, once there is a FeLV diagnosis, is that there's no hope and no 
choice but to put the cat down. It helps to counter that message with some 
positive experiences.
