Thank you Kerry,
It is such a tight-rope walk isn't it? I've been doing my best to quit
being so hyper-responsive to every little sniffle. Then I remember my
sweet Jazz and how I was consciously trying not to be a reactionary with
her symptoms... I just took Grace in for a check up not too long ago,
but things can change so quickly with this disease. At least it's
keeping me thin, (I tend not to eat when I'm nervous!).
Thanks for the support,
Nina

Dear Nina
I'm sending tons of positive healing vibes for Grace and all your brood.
I know if I were in your shoes I'd be doing the same--planning to take
Grace for a check-up today on an "emergency walk-in" basis--being in a
constant state of red alert is something we've all learned to do only
too well with our FeLV furballs, isn't it, but far better that than the
other way.
I'm sorry I can't offer any suggestions as to what might be precisely
wrong with Grace, but it does sound from your description that she's not
100 percent, and needs a check-up. Please email us any news when you get
time. Grace sure couldn't be in better hands than her mom Nina's.
love and hugs to you and Grace and all the furballs,
Kerry

Hi Everyone,
This may be premature, but I tend to get very anxious whenever Grace
doesn't feel well. Most of my cats have been feeling a bit off lately,
just not quite right. They all go outside in the backyard and my ferals
travel through my yard as well, and GG the feral with the earmite
problem has been very sick lately, so... Anyway, Princess Grace was the
first one to show signs of not feeling well, nothing I can put my finger
on, a 'I just know', kind of thing. She snapped out of it pretty
quickly and I breathed a huge sigh of relief. My right paw man,
Instigator (neg), seems to have been hit the hardest in that his eyes
still seem, not crusty, that's too strong, it sort of like he just woke
up, all day long, (does that make any sense?). He's sleeping a bit more
than usual, but if I didn't have FelV babies I wouldn't be concerned,
I'd just figure he's under the weather and watch if he got worse.
Timmy, my miracle boy, (the only one of my litter to test neg), has had
his third eyelids up for over a week. They get a little better, and
then when he's sleepy, they're back up again, otherwise he seems his
normal, happy, playful self.
Tonight, Grace has taken a sharp turn for the worse. She had no
appetite at dinner, she's having a hard time keeping her eyes open and
she seems, I don't know, puffy. She just doesn't look good to me at
all. I gave her Dox, and I'm thinking of starting her on VO. If she
hasn't made a dramatic turn around by morning, I'm calling my Internist
and begging to bring her in.
Sorry this is so long winded, but I was hoping one of you might
recognize some of these symptoms and be able to give me an idea of what
I may be dealing with. I just wrote our newbie Niki about the
importance of not taking a 'wait and see' attitude and now my Grace is
in trouble! Oh boy, I'm starting to panic again!
Prayers and good energy would greatly be appreciated. I tell you, I'm
getting very tired. I'm starting to think I should just move my whole
family into the vet's waiting room and take up residence.
