============= This is how our household situation is- I began bottle feeding kittens in May- they were found in a burn barrell. In July, new to my kitty care, I took in a kitten they thought needed feeding but turned out he was very sick and near death when I got him. Worm infested and dehydrated and cold to the touch, I took him to the vet who thought I was crazy because he was so near death but we wormed him and gave him fluids- The next day was a huge turn around and the weeks and months that followed even more so. We did go through a bout of ringworm but the girls never got it just him. In August, they got their vet work done before working on new homes for them and all three came back FELV positive. I was devastated but ignored the advice of euthanasia and kept them for myself. We ordered Mega C Plus and another supplement and began that. They had a life and were healthy and happy! In late September Frankie, the male, had another bout w/ vomiting and weight loss, the girls never had it. We separated him and went through weeks of antibiotic and he eventually began eating and turn around and rejoined the house. He didn't play as often, just sat quietly but he was eating drinking and using the litter box. NO fevers or any other signs of illness except his quietness. In October, things gradually went down hill for Frankie and we put him down in November. I truely believe Frankie was the carrier giving the girls the exposure. The girls were still happy and healthy. I volunteer for rescue and as in the previous emails, my spare room has been used for extras w/out homes. As you know, we had that light positive and the mom and brother weren't and they have been separate from my girls. Yesterday, we retested the rescue, Jill, and my girls Maggie and Mitzy----THEY ARE ALL NEGATIVE!! The vet asked lots of questions because they are unfamiliar w/ FELV and don't usually actively treat it. We are so happy for this. Jill gets to go to her new home and my girls get to celebrate their first birthday in May. We are aware that this result can turn around under times of stress and age but for now we are celebrating!Kenzie KanneARC Volunteer (712)830-9518www.myspace.com/animalrescueofcarrollanimalrescueofcarroll.org _________________________________________________________________ Going green?
