Hi Kathi,
Damn girl, what an emotional roller coaster ride you've had! I'm so
pleased to hear that your "heart" cat Oreo has tested neg. You didn't
make it clear, do you have Ellie separated from the others? I hope
not. Imo, there's no reason to do so since everyone has been exposed to
everyone else already.
Glad to have you here, and glad your nightmare roommate is gone.

Gloria,
Is your Belfield's Vitamin C for human consumption or is it the Mega C
Plus for
cats, dogs and equine?
I got Oreo as a stray. I trapped him behind the Dumpster at Kentucky
Fried
Chicken. What a joy he is in my life. He drags a rubber dog bone
around the
house and I'll find it in my bed and in his water dish. He is so
happy and full
of life and so intrigued with everything. I think God must have known I
couldn't handle losing him to FeLV. He is truly my soulmate.
My ex-roommate brought Ellie in. I said she could bring her kitten
with her
when she moved in. She said she'd had her tested for disease. When I
moved in,
I found out she hadn't. I kept begging her to get her tested. She
made an
appointment and then cancelled it because she "didn't have the
money." That was
it - no concern for my 5 healthy cats. When she had Ellie spayed, I
asked her
to have her tested at that time. When I asked if she'd had her
tested, she
said, "Oh yes, she's negative and they gave her a clean bill of
health." When
she moved out on me, I asked her to leave Ellie because Oreo and I had
gotten so
attached to her. I called her vet and was told she hadn't been
tested. I was
livid and scared. Ellie tested positive. I had my other 5 tested and
to my
horror, Oreo tested positive, a light positive; the other 4 were
negative. I
was devastated. I kept him separated from the others, had him on Mega
C Plus
for 3 weeks, then had him re-tested and he was negative. In the
meantime, they
all got upper respiratory infections except for Ellie. The vet said
Ellie
probably brought it in and had already dealt with it before moving
in. Oreo was
the only one who didn't have it as bad as the others. I attribute it
to the
Mega C Plus.
What a nightmare my roommate was. She also almost burned down my
house. That's
it for roommates for a while.
