Hi
Thank you for the response..papoose is doing very well, very active and
aleart. He came home with a cold and diarreha but that cleared up in a
matter of days and the vet says he looks really good. He is 4 months old
and 6 lbs! I look forward to the manual. We try to keep his life as stress
free as possible but he also has to share an apartment with three dogs who
love him a little too much!
Thanks again
Jeni and Papoose

Hi Jeni,
I second exactly what Nina said. She's very
knowledgeable, as many are on this site. Don't let
statistics get you down, because each kitty is their
own individual and we can never know what to expect.
Nothing is for sure with this virus. Love Papoose
just like you would if he wasn't sick, but keep a
close watch on him. Keep us posted on his progress
and if you have ANY questions, please ask! Also, I am
going to be sending out a manual I have been keeping
track of over the past few months with information
from all the posts on kitty healthcare, so look for
more information on that in the next few days.
:)
Wendy
Papoose is such a cute name! And he is lucky to have
you.

little baby wandering the streets by himself?! The
man that found him was an angel, and so are you. How
is Papoose? Such a cute name, btw. Is he
asymptomatic? I'm afraid that kittens with felv do
have less of a chance statistically of shedding the
virus. That doesn't mean Papoose won't, or that he
won't have many years of symptom free health. Some
kitties are carriers and never have problems. Get him
on immune support supplements, give him the best diet
you can, don't take a wait-and-see attitude with any
signs of illness, and keep his home life as free from
stress as you can. That is the best that any of us
can do for our sweet little angels.
