Some will disagree but, if you can, keeping Lucky inside will help
keep him healthy at his age even w/o the FeLV issue. There are some
ferals who hang out at Mom's that are in that age group and I worry
about them. They can't be touched but are very wonderful cats. I live
trapped them to
I would advise the same...do not tempt fate by letting him out again. Use
some Feliway spray or plug-in to de-stress their/his environment!
Re: feral cats - 90% of the cats that I trap are feral! I don't release
them; all of them adapt perfectly to living indoors - some have absolutely
no desire
I've had 2 FELV+ cats--one was an adult stray that I was feeding who I found
out was pos when I brought him in. He was an older cat who had not had an
easy life but he lived several more years in peace comfort before he
succumbed to lymphoma last fall. But my Tucson was diagnosed several years
Since my Tucson was not diagnosed until years after I brought her in, I
opted to leave her mixed with my neg cats. I had the other 3 vaccinated (2
shots). They had all been sharing boxes, dishes, groomed each other, had
the occasional spats, etc. and none were pos. I believe its much harder for
Yes, Natalie. I have one little lady who is a rehabilitated feral. She
raised a litter of kittens down by the creek. Some kind people trapped them
and found homes for thekittens, but no one wanted mama cat. She's a lovely
brushed coat calico. She is sweet as pie, and Never offers to run
Hello all,
I haven't really posted much and I've never actually shared my story. I will
be brief now and say that I have a 15 month young kitty who is FeLV positive
and receiving Chemo for mediastinal lymphoma. The problem is, she doesn't know
that she is supposed to be sick. At this time
Suggestion: Fix her a secure kennel outside. I put up a 12x12x6 foot
kennel with a topper (anything, including a tarp, will work. I used
left over chain link). Daddy had a piece of ductwork fixed so Ebony
and Mi Tu could go to a window in a bath, go through a pet door, walk
out in the
Melinda,
I am new to this site. My kitty is also is the same age as your, is FeLV+
and had mediastinal lymphoma. Can you give me more info: when diagnosed,
when started chemo, any other treatments?
My cat was really sick and almost lost him several times in July and August,
this month he
We seemed to have the anemia under control with the Procrit (epogen) and iron,
doxy and cypro, but we got hit hard today. I told our vet that although he
seems
good with color in his mucous membranes, he looks to me to be breathing too
fast. She checked and his lungs sounded raspy-the
Alice,
I lost two of five to this lousy disease, can't imagine going through
it as many times as you have. Wishing you strength to see Murphy
through his journey. They were a lucky litter to find you.
Hugs,

of you in my prayers.

Rutin worked for the fluid build up in my kitty. You can get it at the
health food store. It does take a couple of weeks to
start working. I was getting him tapped all of the time. Now no new build
of of fluid for 3 weeks.
His breathing is good. I started with 250 mg and went up to 500 mg
What a wonderful kennel setup you have and I truly appreciate the detailed
suggestion. We live on a military base in Japan and our whole yard isn't even
the size of your kennel. I'm not even sure if chain link is something I could
purchase here. Maybe if she hangs on until we move back to
I forgot to add that on our very small base there are no wild animals, most
strays are caught almost immediately ( Fuji is collared and chipped) and the
likelihood of Fuji coming across and getting into a confrontation with another
cat are very slim. Most people who have cats brought them from
I will go to the health food store tomorrow to see if I can find the Rutin!
When we began with Murphy's anemia crash on 7/24 his RBC was 3.5, HGB 5.1, HCT

On 8/28 his RBC was 4.8, HGB 12.5, HCT was 33.9 I really think the combo of
