Nina So glad to hear Grace is doing better. You must be so (albeit cautiously) relieved. Re Timmy, you're already giving him interferon and Transfer Factor, and excellent diet, so I'm not sure either what the benefit of testing for FeLV would be. (I totally understand your hesitation to test--I'm taking one of my negs for his routine 6-month physical this weekend, and the tech/receptionist, who knows I have a pos. brood, was encouraging me to also do the FeLV test on him. I turned it down. It's a waste of $$ that can be better spent on other kitty needs.) It sounds like they all have a URI? I would do anything I could to nip that in the bud--which I'm sure you're doing anyway. Continuing to send healing vibes for your brood, and visualizing Grace beating up Kimba :>) Kerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 5:50 PM To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Nina's Timmy
Hi Everyone, I just mentioned my Timmy to Michelle L. He's the one that miraculously tested negative, (remember the big debate over PCR testing to determine if FeLV is sequestered in bone marrow?). Anyway, as you know, my household and feral colony has been fighting some sort of bug lately. Tim had some sneezing and congestion and his third eyelids have been up for over a week now. I'm starting to get concerned. I should probably take him in to be tested while he's exhibiting symptoms, (because he's more likely to show positive then), but when it comes right down to it I'm chicken about what I'll learn. He seems perfectly healthy, except for his eyes, well he's a bit more skittish, but he can't see as well! I have him on IA and TF when I can get him to eat it. Do you think I should worry? Do you think I should have him tested? I'm trying to figure out exactly what good it will do me to know for sure he's positive, (I'll never know for sure he's truly negative). My first bottle baby, Queen Ursula, had nictating membranes for a couple months at one point. The vets were never able to tell me why. An AC acquaintance told me it was because she didn't want to see how crowded the house was with cats at the time. Who knows, she may have been right. The condition went away without any other indications ever presenting themselves. Grace is doing much better. She's still sleeping more than usual, but yesterday she was very naughty, so I take that as a good sign. When she starts beating up Kimba again, I'll know she's made a full recovery.
