Fri.afternoon Coco, my 10yr. old FeLV Neg passed over the
bridge. As
many of you know I often send "Reply" messages that I have mixed
my Neg.
& Pos. for many yrs. and had never had a Neg. turn Pos. after
they came
out with the vaccine against Felv. Over 3 weeks ago she became
very sick
with an URI. I had to take her to the Vet where she had Meds.
& IV's. On
a Mon. morning he called that I could pick her up and bring
her home. I
was unable to pick her up until Tue. He called me Mon.
afternoon and
said she had reverted and not to pick her up. I was able to
bring her
home on Fri. and she was fine for a couple of days then back to
the vet.
More IV's, not eating, etc. About every 4 days she would appear to
be OK
then she would revert again. A Blood Panel was done and other
various
test and every thing came back with "Glowing Colors". We were at a
loose
as to what was going on. So off to a Specialist I took her. Before
she
got sick she was over weight and there was not enough loose skin
to
"Scruff her" By this last Fri her skin was just hanging on her so I
was
scared she might get a Fatty Liver. It turn out she was Pos. in her
Bone
Marrow and there was no way of knowing how many yrs. she had been
Pos.
Every test she had ever had always came back Neg. And in all
those
10yrs. she had never been sick a day. She was so far gone she had to
be
helped over the bridge. She was a Feral when I got her , at 6mos.
of
age. It took 4 yrs before she would let ne touch her. The last 2yrs
she
would get up on the table and But Heads with me 3 or 4 times a day.
and
every morning when I got up she would run into the bedroom in front
of
my feet (I am wheelchair bound) and would not move until I patted
her
several times and a couple of mos. ago she climbed up on the bed
to
sleep with me. I have a very high bed and she was to fat to leap on
it.
I could hear her climbing up the bedding to get there. She still
would
not let me pick her up. The last time she had to go to the vet I sat
her
carrier on the floor and she ran into
it.
