Re: Buster update
See if you can find something salty for him. That seems to help Kitty. Deli ham (I know, it is awful) is a favorite. If she gets a little down she feels better and often will eat later. You may need to rub it on the nose or put a piece in the mouth (don't force it--just make sure he can taste it). Good luck. This is a hard one. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Re: Spayed twice - Marylyn
They were looking at the hormone levels. There are two tests that can be run. I don't understand the details but the one they ran on Dixie was a simple blood test. The other involves giving the cat hormones and seeing what the reaction is. I would have loved to have seen my vet's face when the test results came in. He was very sure she was intact. Anyway, when he called it was "Dixie is either a male or she has been spayed." I understand an ultrasound and a very good reader can tell. I was a big believer in animal communicators before this. Now I am totally convinced. What are the odds of a cat who has been thrown away being spayed and showing up at my house? Then having enough sense to tell two friends that she absolutely did not need to go to the vet's again? My vet was against letting her come into heat if we could prevent it. He said the spaying would be less traumatic for her than coming into heat.

RE: Buster update
So sorry to hear about Buster… when my Tucson had very low WBC, vet gave her a series of immuno-regulin shots. WBC came back up pretty quick. Had to do it twice and both times it worked… Both times I knew something was up because she didn’t eat—and eating is her very favorite thing to do! I got her to eat a little something by giving her anything she would swallow—ham, tuna water, cottage cheese, a little milk… not things I would normally rely on as nourishment but at that point I just wanted to get something in her. Luckily, her lack of appetite only lasted a few days so it was not a major problem.. Didn’t know whether you had considered this… Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kerry Roach Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2006 5:12 PM To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Buster update Buster isn't doing well at all today...I did get him to eat a little on his own Fri..and drink some water..He went to the box a couple of times, but is very wobbly..

Re: Hi, I'm New to the Group
Hi Shana, If your mother in law has agreed to take her I think that would be great. If you have your negative cats vaccinated you could also choose to keep her yourself. If she is in perfect health, she could still throw off the virus, could never get sick from the virus, or could get sick. She could get sick sometime soon, or not for 10 years! That's just how unpredictable felv is. You will get lots of good info. from this list. I would put her on a good quality food and a good vitamin supplement, and that's all I would do until and unless she showed some symptoms of some sort. Also, yes, I would have her spayed. It's less stressful to go ahead and do it than to let her go through her cycles. I would find a good vet that is willing and positive about treating positive cats. There ARE many out there. Any vet who says there is nothing you can do to help a cat who is not even sick is not a good vet in my opinion. tonyashana tarver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Everyone, I am new to the group.

Have his blood tested for anemia...red / white blood cell count... If normal it is probably wise to spay as it will mean less stress later when it really counts...
