to follow your gut sometimes.
(what does sero-converted mean? sorry, still trying to catch up with some
technical stuff <blush>)
And as I always say, you can't put a price on unconditional love. I'd do
anything for my babies. When you treat your babies with this much love, you
just get so much love back, there's nothing in the world like it. :-) I
could never give up on her, until she is in pain, until she is suffering, I
will do anything to help her. I know she'd do the same for me. I believe
that EVERYONE'S kitties on this list are the luckiest kitties on the face of
the planet. Loving and dedicated owners are all any kitty needs. Even when
their time is up, when keeps you going is knowing that THEY knew how much
they were loved. Guess you could say I'm a pure animal lover at heart :-)
Thanks!
Genie and Samantha
and the lucky six

Genie,
Cornell told me to retest in a month to six weeks. I think if you ask 5
vets, you'll get 5 different opinions. Ernie had two shots of
Immunoregulin, but I think he was just too sick by then. It seems to me
that someone on this list had a kitty on interferon and Immunoregulin and
the kitty sero-converted. Am I right or is that my overactive imagination?
Samantha is lucky to have you on her side. You are a real fighter!
Sharon

Hi Sharon! Don't be to disheartened about the kitten. I have had a kitten
here with samantha exposed to the virus since she was 2 months old. She's
been here for 6 months, and tested negative for the virus. They're
supposedly more succeptible, but so far so good. As for the retesting,
every
12 weeks was what the university of penn vet hospital told me. I also just
talked to the vet terri referred me to, and she said she's seen great
results
for immunoregulin used with the interferon. Maybe we should give it a try?
She said it works best before they're too sick. This is the first I've
heard
of a vet seeing results, and not just putting them on treatment because you
ask about it... Wish I could be more help to you...
Hang in there Sharon
Love Genie and Samantha
and Shadow, midnight, luke, blackie, amber, and whisper

In the midst of trying to advise Genie, my questions can wait. When you
have time, could you advise me about treatment to keep FeLV+ Franklin
healthy.
Having just lost Ernie, I want to be as proactive as possible with
Franklin.
He is getting a tsp. of Pet-tinic and interferon (7 on, 7 off) now.
Should
he go on Immunoregulin?
Carolina, the so far negative kitten, is still being kept separate. This
is
hard on her and Franklin; however, since she is just 8 months old, I
hesitate to expose her any more than she already was (two weeks). It
seems
to me that kittens are more susceptible than adults. When should I retest
her?
Sharon
