Hi..my name is Jeni. I have a feluk postive kitten named papoose. I work
at a shelter and he was a "drop" there. A man came in with him when he was
about 5 weeks old, he told me that Papoose was wondering the streets of
Queens. He came up positve on Elisa and also the IFA when he was brought to
the shelter, we retested him when he was about 3.5 months old and came up
postive on both test again, I am going to retest him at 6 months (he is
about 4 months now) to see if he is postive, what do you think the chances
of him being negative are? Just wondering.
Thank you
Jeni and Papoose

Welcome to the list Paula,
It sounds like you're doing everything 'right'. I try to feed my guys a
'good' diet, although I don't feed raw or anything like that. A lot of
people use a lot of different supplements. I tend to save the supplements
for when something's not going well, or an upcoming surgery like you are
planning.
I think lysine before going into surgery is a good idea as it might ward
off any upper resp. infection she might encounter at the hospital. It
sounds like you're familiar with hospitals! The antibiotic is a good idea,
but uri's are viruses as I'm sure you know, and I feel like the lysine helps
with those. My first positive kitty ALWAYS came home from the vet with an
upper respiratory infection. (vet I don't use anymore, but still, sick cats
are at the hospital....)
How long have you had her? 6 months is still young enough to 'throw' the
virus if she was only recently exposed. I don't want to get your hopes up,
but it 'can' happen. Do you know if she was born with it? Any background?

to care for my 6mo old girl.
Her test was positive, but her cbc is within limits. I need to have her
spayed this next week. Doc put her on Amoxil BID for the week prior and
plans to have her on a 7 day regimen post op. Her platelets are within
limits.
What else can I do for her? I have some Lysine I was using for her last
bad cold- would that bolster her any?
Thanks, Paula
