re: Prednisone and doing great......
Hi C J, One morning I noticed his eyes were cloudy so we immediately rush to the vet. He said it was Uveitis and it could be caused by a underlying problem. He took a full blood panel and of course we got the sad results that he had Felv. As I said before I had never heard about this disease, I know when he was a kitten he had his needles for it but the disease itself I knew nothing about. I never understood where it came from as all my cats have always been indoor cats. But there it was. He then started us on the prednisone, all I can say is that it has been a life saver for him. At one point they had asked us to put him down but we desided this was not an option, and with lots of love and caring and of course lots of prayers he is so happy and healthy so far. I felt the same as you are feeling about his immune system but I knew there was really not too much of a choice. I contacted a wonderful vet in the States (we are in Canada) Dr. Jean Hofve and had a phone consultation with her and followed her advice more so than my own vet as he had little to say on felv, but she was fantastic and took away my fears regarding prednisone and his immune system. I know it's a worry but I guess you have to see what is best for your kitty. Read and go into all the Anemia sites and talk to the forum members I'm sure many are going through the same dilemma. The way we all share this wonderful felv site and all the info.

Date: Mon, 14 May 2007 19:24:41 -0500 I'm just curious. What condition was your vet treating with Prednisone? Was it just due to being FeLV+, or were there symptoms the vet was treating? I've been giving prednisone for anemia, but I am trying to wean my kitty off of it. I've been suppressing his immune system for 2 months now, and I don't think that is the best thing for him.

Hi Teresa, My cat was diagnosed with felv when he was 2 yrs old, he is now 7 1/2. It was such a shock at the time as I have had so many cats and this was the first time I had ever heard of felv. He was put on 5 mg of Prednisone a day and is still going strong and I do mean strong. The vet began lowering the dose after the first year and slowly continued. We now give him 2.5 every other day and have been doing so for about 2 yrs now. We did try to take him off of it completely, but after about 3 months we noticed he was a bit hangy so we started it back up again and if you could see him he is a chunk and so healthy. It's so hard to know we share this world with people that dump or throw little beating hearts away like garbage. God Bless people like you Teresa.

Date: Sat, 12 May 2007 10:35:48 -0500 I recently have acquired several felv+ cats, the one who is sick at the moment is a pathetic case who was dropped off on the highway near a farm, a very popular dumping spot I've been monitoring for the past few years. Many or most of them end up at home with me if they seem not to be faring well at the farm. Anyway, turns out this poor thing is totally blind as well as felv+. I mean he sees NOTHING. I've had many cats who were legally blind but this one doesn't even react to bright light. He was dumped, in winter no less, along a highway roaring with 18 wheelers night and day. How this critter ever lived this long, he's probably 4-5 years old, is totally beyond me. Well I did not mean to get harping that, I'll never get off it. It just makes me sick to my stomach. Timmy is the most loving, slobbering, kissable, hugable, sweet thing to come along for a long time. But I have to guide him to his food dish and this is inside his cage. I mean, how has he LIVED? I suspect whoever dropped him didn't realize he was blind. Cats can sure fool you. But then again, seems it would be hard for him to fool anyone when he has to be shown his food dish. My understanding is that this farm only feeds cats that are dumped off dog food and cow milk, so the daughter told me a couple years ago. And the night I picked him up, Timmy's stomach was making very loud growling noises for several hours, and seemed distended. That all went away in a day or so and I attributed it to drinking milk Ok, what I was checking the list for was, some time ago I thought I saw some info on prednisone use in felv+ cats but I don't find it now. (Also several of the links from the felv site do not work at the moment, including the Cornell info one.) I haven't been giving Timmy pred, or anything solely for his felv, but he's

Please add Albert to the CLS
Hi all, I know I haven't been here in awhile, but I always come back as you guys are the most understanding and compassionate people that I have ever met.. I lost Albert today, May 15 a few minutes before 4pm. He went into sudden cardiac failure. He hadn't been sick until yesterday as he started showing some signs of maybe a urinary tract infection which turned out to be his heart..probably due to some long standing hyper-t. He was felv-. We added his sister, Alberta to CLS back in Jan. I just wanted him there with her. I also lost Striper (hit by a car) on April 16. So it hasn't been a good year so far. To those of you that remember Inky, he is now 20yrs and 9 months. Fingers crossed he keeps doing well. Albert had just turned 16 on April 12. Thank you all as always for listening and caring.. You and your kitties are always in our prayers, Kerry, Inky, and Angel's Bandy, Buster, Lil Rascal, Snoopy, Alberta, Striper, and Albert 2 feral angel's Tom Cat and Fuzzy Boy - Never miss an email again!
