Re: [Felvtalk] age

I must be extremely lucky because I have never had a problem with anything 
except fleas on my ferals and dump cats.  Thank God because just giving Annie 
her meds is a torture supreme.  She does not like it and you would be amazed 
how active a sick cat can be when she does not want to take her meds.

Re: [Felvtalk] age

[Amani Oakley]

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.

MN.  Right now I'm about to switch from oral ivermectin to Feline Advantage

His fur appears to be growing back, and he must be scratching less because
nearly all of the scabs/ bumps are gone- BUT it would be nice to destroy

Re: [Felvtalk] age

[Rebecca Pruett]

The cat I rescued from my neighborhood September of last year is probably
around 7-8 years old and just got a positive IFA for FeLV. She also has FIV
and bartonella (which was treated with an antibiotic. She is missing many
of her teeth and the rest need to be pulled. She has good and bad days. I
feel so bad having to keep her quarantined in a bathroom but she isn't a
fan of other cats and I don't want my cats exposed. I got her a cat tree so
she can sit and look out the window and she seems happy I just wish I could
find her a forever home. I've been trying for months with no luck. She's
such a sweet cat.

Re: [Felvtalk] age

[Katherine K.]

My cat was diagnosed at age 11. He's about to turn 15. His health has been
up and down since the diagnosis.

My other cat (who is negative) gets vaccinated yearly since his diagnosis.
They were already living together so any risk of exposure had already
happened. After almost 4 years, she is still negative.

Re: [Felvtalk] age

[Amani Oakley]

Jennifer, how old are your other cats? Are they vaccinated for FeLV? I would 
speak with your vet, but I have never ever had a cat spread FeLV to another cat 
in my household. I might be more worried if your other cats are just kittens, 
but if they are adults, just take the precaution of vaccinating them.

My Annie is now 9 years old and was diagnosed as positive when I got her at age 
4.  She recently started sneezing and had runny eyes so off to the vet we went. 
 She gave her a shot of antibiotic and some more to take at home.  She seems to 
be improving, no more sniffles or runny eyes.  So far the discharges have been 
clear but I did not want to wait a few days to be sure.  He other problem is a

Hi Sheila, my little Bear is 1.5 years old and I've had her since she was a 
little more than 1 month old. She was very ill and tested positive from entry 
into my life. She appears healthy with good appetite with the exception of a 
nasal infection that the vet has been unable to remedy. 

I have no other personal experience with Felv although I have work colleagues 
who have cats that are 6 years old and appearing healthy. 

I'm hoping that all our fur babies have longevity and a quality of life too.

[Felvtalk] age

[Armstrong-Brown, Sheila DDS Timonium]

I am learning a lot about FELV cats since I found my Skylar.  Just wondering 
about how old is the oldest cat that lived with it.  I had the IFA test done 
and that is positive also even though he is perfectly healthy at the moment.  
He will be 2 years old this month, I found him a year ago.

How Old is My Pet? Correctly Calculate Your Dog or Cat's Age!By Webvet |

By Gayle Hickman 

Most people think that calculating the age of dogs and cats in human years is 
quite simple: multiply their age by seven. For 
example, a 4-year-old dog or cat would actually be 28 years old in human years. 

But when you really begin weighing out the arithmetic, this method 
doesn't add up. Say a 1-year-old dog is the equivalent of a 7-year-old 
human -- get out of here! How many 7-year-old humans are sexually active
 and capable of reproducing? Dogs and cats are much more likely to have 
babies at 1 year old or even at 10 years old, than any person who is 7 
or 70. 

DOGS 

Aging is much faster during a dog's first two years but varies among 
breeds. Large breeds, while they mature quicker, tend to live shorter 
lives. By the time they reach 5 they are considered senior dogs. 
Medium-sized breeds take around seven years to reach the senior stage, 
while small and toy breeds do not become seniors until around 10. 

Related: Top 5 Ways to Improve Life for Your Senior Dog 

Many veterinarians agree that a pretty good guess on the age of pets can
 be made using the following formula. Although still simple, it is much 
more accurate than the seven-year method. 

Assume that a 1-year-old dog is equal to a 12-year-old human and a 
2-year-old dog is equal to a 24-year old human. Then add four years for 
every year after that. (Example: A 4-year-old dog would be 32 in human 
years.) 

Since this method takes into consideration the maturity rate at the 
beginning of a dog's life and also the slowing of the aging process in 
his later years, Martha Smith, director of veterinary services at 
Boston's Animal Rescue League, feels that this is the more accurate 
calculation formula. Here is a chart, for easy reference: 

 
  A dog's average lifespan is around 12 or 13 years, but again, this 
varies widely by breed. The larger your dog is, the less time it will 
live. Female dogs tend to live a little longer. 

CATS 

Now let's take a glimpse at a simple formula for calculating feline age in 
human years. 

Assume that a 1-year-old cat is equal to a 15-year-old human and a 
2-year-old cat is equal to a 24-year-old human. Then add four years for 
every year after that. (Example: A 4-year-old cat would be 32 in human 
years.) 

The following chart shows this formula of calculation:
