The Royal Princess Kitty Katt was diagnosed with cancer and I was told she would live (maybe) a couple of months without treatment--very harsh chemo. She and I opted not to do the chemo after a lot of soul searching and very in depth conversations with the vets and with a number (6) acs I

Thank you. With the size of Asia's tumor in her chest pressing on her lungs, she would not have been able to breathe for 15 months and maybe not even for a week longer. I was not willing to give up on her at this time and will always be glad for that decision. Thanks for your blessings!

I do not doubt your decisions. I just point out that no one knows the length of a being's life. The Royal Princess Kitty Katt had masses in her lungs and other organs. The decisions we made were right for us and she was a full partner in making them. I don't know if you believe in ACs or

Yes, I mean animal communicators and, with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt, I would not trust 1 or 2 or even 3. The decisions were to important. And some are good in certain areas and not others. Most will tell you this. If not, run... My own father made very realistic decisions

Oh, I have no doubt you are doing the right thing. I am very glad you opted for chemo. Lymphoma is more responsive to chemo than other cancers are, and also faster growing without chemo than other cancers are. Michelle In a message dated 11/28/2006 4:52:40 A.M. Eastern Standard Time,

Innoculation protocol for adult cats with unknown health histories

2006-11-28 Thread Kelley Saveika
Hi guys, Do adult cats with unknown histories who come into rescue need one FELV innoculation or two? (one plus booster). I know distemper vaccines need to be boostered in kittens, what about FELV? -- Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life! http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20

Adult cats do not need FELV vaccines. The only exception to that would be if you KNEW the cat was going to be living in a household with FELV+ cats, and even then, it's not required, just recommended. Healthy adult cats develop natural immunity. Adult cats with unknown histories should get a FVRCP

This is what my vet emailed me when I asked him about this. The term Vaccine Associated Sarcomas has fallen out of favor and now termed Injection Site Sarcoma because they now believe that it is not the vaccine, but the actual injection of a foreign substance. I use the Purevax for distemper

Those of us who do rescue know all too well how devastating distemper can be. If one cat gets in your household with it good luck getting rid of it. It can live for 10 years or more. I had to bleach my hardwood floors. Carpeting has to be removed before you can bring in another unvaccinated

Perhaps the terminology is more correct, but if you do a search for Injection Site Sarcoma, you'll probably get far fewer pages about it than if you search for Vaccine Associated Sarcomas. And... it is the same condition. So, I'm more apt to use the name that is most common when referring people
