Hi, all!
Though a longtime member of the list, have not communicated in a long time. I
won't let that happen again.
There were several
questions-one from Michelle- about whether Sam was always positive. I don't
think so. His mother, Delilah is neg. They came to me from a rescue place
in 1993. I was assured that the had all of their vaccines- I had written
documentation- so until 1999 they received routine vaccines yearly. In 1999 to
my shock and dismay Sam tested positive (then we had several mishaps,
incorrect testing, and faulty knowledge on the vet's part) and there
you go. He is not an outside cat except when we go on the patio
together. Got him into remission finally after a year of touch and go-hard
work and love, etc..and words of wisdom from the FELV list. He has been
fine until 3 weeks ago, when previous symptoms recurred. I give him all of
his meds and fluids at home with my wonderful vet's blessing.
I really just
thought the rescue remedy drops might make things better........Helene
