Better test it out before going to the vet since every cat responds differently to catnip, some get mellow, happy, and others might get very agitated and even aggressive..

I have also learned this in dealing with feral cats. You could also get some Bach Flower Remedy - RESCUE, use it in the cat's water, you can put it onto the cat's gums, or even on the skin inside the ear or on the forehead..every little bit helps. Use some Feliway spray inside the carrier (one spray of it about one hour before using the carrier (it's quite potent) - all that should calm the cat.

Kitty and Dixie, feral similar to yours, did wonderfully with the care of both a holistic vet and a regular vet. I know, I am blessed to have both and they respect each other. Also, if possible, find another regular vet. Killing a cat without symptoms and true pain (not discomfort) is beyond me. I have dealt with ferals a really long time. In fact, every cat who has moved into my home or chosen to live where I can provide some comforts (food, outdoor shelter) has been feral. They are the smartest of the smart (again MHO) and will let you know exactly what they want. On Mar 3, 2012, at 5:09 PM, dppl dppl wrote: Melinda, thanks for taking the time to respond so quickly. My fear is, if this vet didn't want to draw blood since she said cat's gums started turning blue, how will she endure further testing? How much stress should I put her through? She was born to a feral cat, I have had her over 13 years she is tame for me, but freaks out when i try to put her in carrier . _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
