I don't know if it is contagious or not. This is the first time I have dealt
with it and have had wonderful success with the improved diet (thanks to the
pet food murderers), supplements and Brush Away. One lady on a stomatitis
board uses Just Born with colostrum all the time with hers and has had
wonderful results. Dixie gets this quite often. I want her body built up so
she has a better chance of handling anything that comes down the road. She
even gets bottled spring water (hopefully) to avoid a lot of the chemicals in
tap water. I am going to do this with any critter that lives with me (now if I
could remember to eat right myself :)))

and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Hi Marylyn,
As far as Stomatitis, they say it's not contagious, however, it seems to pop
up in a lot of "multi cat" households, (like mine).
What are your thoughts?
Anyone else?
One of my cats from the Houston Horader case (the 12 I am fostering that had
the exposure to felv), has stomatitis so bad that it damaged her lungs.
You can hear her breathe across the room, and when she purrs, the pitch
raises and she sounds more bird like than my Bird Boy, Runes, who was raised in
a birdcage.......
Confused?
I am.......

Sometimes I can read and research for days and not have a clue then
suddenly just one person can phrase something a little differently and it makes
sense to me. Knowing what you are reading and judging its accuracy is
extremely difficult, Particularly on a subject that is so important as this
life and death one. Luckily Dixie is not sick and, after two very healthy
years, I suspect the angels have blessed me with a little girl who was exposed
but OK. The stomatistis has apparently disappeared and could easily have been
from being on her own for a long time. I still need lots of help keeping her
healthy and happy. She is my light. Often I feel like I am repeating myself
too many times then realize that everyone has the same delete key I do.
As for OT things------most of these conversations are labeled and, again,
everyone has a delete key.

There are some here that are new to this virus. We don't know much. That
is specifically why I came to this site to learn. I am so sorry that distress
was caused over reposting of material. I can say I for one have been reading
and researching everything I can get my hands on. I am very saddened that some
find it intolerable to understand the stress that newbies might be under. I
have never had a sick cat-I have been very blessed. But I feel doubly blessed
to have people who are willing to share information with me even if it is the
hundredth time they have posted it. I know only basics about this virus and
understand less. I need help and information and I thank all that have shared.
