I got my dog to eat slower by putting golf balls in a pie pan with his
food. He was forced to pick around the balls to get to the food.

My Nitnoy lived a little over 4 years along with Annie who is also
positive and 5 others who are all negative. My vet says that as
long as the negatives have their vaccination for FELV and here are
no fights where a positive bites a negative, there is very little
chance of the negatives getting it. Nitnoy died after a short bout
with impacted glands that became infected. That killed her, not the
FELV which simply lowered her ability to fight off the infection.
Annie is still going strong . Have you thought of changing food.
Several of my guys were allergic to whet, corn and soy which is in
most commercial foods. Casey would hurl right after eating and had
stool problems and I have cleaned up more little puddles than I care
to remember. She simply could not get to the box on time. Just like
people, when it hits you don't have much time to get to a bathroom.
I switched everyone to Blue Buffalo and no moe problems. Casey
still has hairballs if I forget to give her hairball meds. Then
recently I started giving everyone Royal Canine's Extreme Hairball
dry as treats. Everyone loves it and now even hairballs are rare.
I usually give around 10 pieces to each one and then stand guard to
keep Harley from taking everyone else's treats. Also, does your
baby eat too fast? Casey also had a tendency to gulp her food
down. Started watching her eat and when she ate too fast I took it
away from her and gave it back in a few minutes. Ended up sitting
by her when she ate and giving her just a bite at a time. It did
not take too long for her to catch on to th fact that eating slower
kept her from vomintting. Just a few things you might try. Better
than the 2 of you sleeping in the basement.

My Tigger lived 1 month shy of 5 years with FeLV
He had his ups and downs, as we all do
He lived with 6 housemates...NONE are positive!!
As far as the stool, cats get it like we do. may have eaten
something that disagreed with him
What test was done. Snap or other??
With Snap, if he's been exposed, it will be postitve, other (ELSA??)
is more through, and can tell if he actually has it
I wish you the best
FeLV kitties can be the most loving of all, as Tigger was

Subject: [Felvtalk] stray cat I took in has feline leukemia
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me....
We live in the country and have about 8 outside cats. A friend
decided to take one home, Pumpkin, and had her all fixed up at the
vet with shots, spay and declaw. She found out she has feline
leukemia. She kept her for about a month, but I guess she was
making a mess as far as using the litter box. I told her I didn't
want her to go to an over crowded humane society, so I took her
back. She is now in the house, as she is front declawed, and she is
not to be around the other cats with her cancer.
So... I've had her home since just before Christmas, and she's been
fine other than not eating a whole lot. Her stool is quiet soft,
and I did find a few hard turds in two different sleeping places
that she uses. Well now today, she had a ver messy stool on the
wood floor in the hallway!! Really shocked me as she's been so good
using the littler box.
Is this a sign that she is getting sick, the not using the littler
box? She has a prescription for Tylosin Tartrate, and she said to
give this to her(powder form), when/if she gets sick???
She does seems to sleep most of the day, but I know cats do do
that:) She also does purr quite loud!! Must be a good sign. She
will play with a string too. So she's been very happy, but now I
had to resort to putting her back in the basement with her food and
litter. I might end up sleeping down there with her again, as I
did when she first came in thehouse. She has had the run of the
house now for weeks, but I just don't trust her since her accident.
I've read where infected cats can live quite long, but yet others do
not. I certainly would not want to put her thru all sorts of
treatments...
Thank you for your time:)))
I appreciate any input for my Pumpkin!
Tricia
