Re: EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!! House fire!!!
How very sad. This is near where I was raised...so I can feel it very deeply. I have heard San Francisco has become very progressive in caring for it's homeless pet populations, as well as everything to do with controlling it's pet populations.Is anyone familiar with their policies, as I am always interested in learning the different secrets of success.I think Las Vegas, Nevada is another such place??? Anyway, it would seem, if this is the case ,with a fair amount of publicity to make people aware of this tragedy, there might be an out pouring of sympathy for these cats...I guess I am just being hopeful? I do, however have faith in my fellow Californians...I'm so sorry for everyone involved...Glenda --- Kelly L [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 10:08 PM 8/4/2007, you wrote: I believe it started in the basement wiring and moves up We could not talk too much today but she will be online again tomorrow..

Re: EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!! House fire!!!
I have forwarded to some other groups that I know have branches in the SF area. Yes, this is our biggest nightmare. It happened to my vet, who has 70+ cats. Luckily, the fire dept. came very quickly. The dryer caught fire. Always clean the lint, and have done professionally @ least once per year. And NEVER run it if you are not home. While Sheila always cleaned out the lint, it can also collect inside the dryer the vent, very dangerous. Her mother, who has since passed away, was in her room completely unaware the house was on fire. She had dementia, and had turned on the dryer. Sheila had just ran to the store up the street for something, and her daughter just happened to stop in to visit, which probably saved everything, house, cats mom. Susan J.

Re: Vaccinating kittens of unknown status against FeLV?
In my opinion I would vaccinate. My positives were vaccinated before testing positive and it did them no harm. There is always a chance that you might pick up a stray cat and bring it home and then your cats would not be vaccinated. I do not re-vaccinate except every 3 years, but I do start out with the 2 vaccines. I think the vaccine has been proven by those on this list to do more good than harm. I do not worry at all about mixing a positive cat with my vaccinated cats. tonya Jane Lyons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cassandra My vet thinks that many of the health problems that both cats and dogs are facing is the result of over vaccination. I would not vaccinate such young cats, and I would research the Felk vaccine before I would ever consider it for basically indoor cats.

I adopted two kittens from a farm who are 8 weeks old right now. They are scheduled to go in for their vaccinations at 10 weeks, and the clinic mentioned that the FeLV vaccination is standard now. I asked if they should be tested first to make sure they don't have FeLV, and they said it didn't matter. I am wondering what your opinions are on this. I don't know if these kittens have ever been exposed, but I do know that 10 weeks is too soon to reliably test for the virus. Is it safe to go ahead and vaccinate, not knowing if they are infected or not? I'm not even positive I want that vaccine, but it may be a good idea. The kittens will eventually be able to go outside in chain-link enclosure that we've built, so it is unlikely they will have contact with other cats, but its always possible some contact could occur through the fence. We live outside of the city now, but there are a few cats belonging to neighbours that wander through from time to time (they mostly stay out of the yard due to our dog). Cassandra

RE:Vaccinating kittens of unknown status against FeLV?
I've always been told it doesn't hurt to vaccinate a positive cat. If I had a kitten that tested positive I would vaccinate it anyway hoping that the positive is a false positive or that the kitten has only been exposed and is fighting off the virus. tonya Malone [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was told I didnt need to test anymore by my vet that Sox was healthy, and he was vaccinated. I wish I had waited until he was a few weeks older, tested him, and then I would have known. He died at 9 months, and he had been vaccinated. His mother had FeLV, but at the time I didnt know. She was a feral that wasnt caught until the month after he died. All his litter mates died as well. I really still know nothing about this virus other than the fact it is heart wrenching to see a beloved pet die. I will always test. Now my baby boy, who has been vaccinated, has contracted the virus. He is healthy, and I try to learn from people here how to keep him healthy.
Re: My little Moe man.

I had them do blood work on him, and its fine, hes eating like a cow, and drinking like a camel. Something that I discovered today is that its NOT him going to the bathroom in the kitchen; its our OTHER FLV+ cat, Miles. Now Miles is about 4 years old, seems perfectly healthy, eats and drinks, plays, etc. I HAVE noticed that last couple of weeks though hes been being REALLY affectionate, and I havent been able to spend as much time with him and Holly (our 5 year old cat who does NOT have felv) as I usually do because Ive been so busy with Moe. Is it possible that Miles has started to use the kitchen as his own personal bathroom because hes jealous of the attention that Moe is getting and trying to get our attention? I KNOW its Miles, because he didnt hear me get up this morning, and Moe was lying on my pillow next to my head (like he normally does), and I got up went out to the kitchen, and he must not have heard me, because I caught him red handed doing his business. I made loud noises, and stuff, but I dont know why hes doing this. He has been acting kind of weird. Like if were in the bathroom taking a shower or using the toilet and the door is closed, hell sit outside it and just HOWL. Never did this until a few weeks ago. I figured it was because he was worried about Moe, but now not so sure. Also, how much does heat effect felv? We LOVE the heat, and try not to use the air conditioner, but its going to get pretty warm here in the next week or so, and I was just wondering if I should turn the air on for the cats? Thanks again everyone. Im so glad I found you all! Beckie

Thomas representing the event's sponsor, pet food maker Eukanuba offered a tempered viewpoint. It's because of Vick's own background suggested Thomas, a younger brother of the 1960s-era Oilers cornerback W.K. Hicks that people should attempt to understand how the former Virginia Tech star could have become involved. Once upon a time dogfighting, just like cockfighting, used to be a part of the fabric of America, said Thomas, of Pasadena. Just like with a lot of other things, loopholes have been closed. It sometimes takes people awhile to understand what you used to do and what you can do now aren't always one in the same. Sometimes you have to learn this the hard way, and that's happening with him. This was not murder. This was not a capital crime. This was, possibly, a bad error in judgment. We can make a federal case out of it if we want to, but whatever happened, we have to let justice take its course. (Vick's) argument is that he was not knowledgeable about what was going on. I myself am a man of color. But, if a man is wrong, he's wrong. I'm not going to jump on his bandwagon because he's Michael Vick. It's unfortunate people in America tend to worship success and don't always realize that just because someone is successful financially they may not be successful morally, socially or spiritually.

Re: Vaccinating kittens of unknown status against FeLV?
Hi guys, Yesterday I took my two sibling kittens in for their second feline leukemia vaccination. My little poly guys I got out of Arizona...They had their first vacination June 30th... Anyway, I had not had them tested before their first vaccination, because their mother tested negative and they had been kept away from other cats...I want to trust that they were before I got them. Their foster mom told me she kept them in her bathroom with their mother, while they were still nursing. Things do happen, but I also felt they were too young to subject to a test before I got them at roughly 8-weeks of age. I vaccinated them for the first time at about 11-weeks and the second at 15-weeks. There are a lot of people out there that probably think I was very wrong, but I do believe in vaccinating, especially now more than ever ,because I have one FeLV+ kitty in our family of seven kitties. I do keep her completely isolated. I NEVER let her mix. There have been times she has touched noses through a screen or crack in the door... with one of my vaccinated cats...I wash my hands a lot...the whole thing...She is only allowed outside with me while I'm working in my yard or she stays in her room. My cats have always been vaccinated and in the past, have always been boostered every year. I do realize, as a group, we know more than any vet out there, but yesterday, I told my vet some of you guys believed a FeLV vaccination might make a negative cat test positive. She said that could not happen ,because it is a killed virus... I think people are getting mixed up with the FIV vaccine ,which does make a negative cat test positive. I also have a hard time believing, if your cat is positive and you vaccinate, it could kick the disease into gear...I think I ran that past my vet ,but she just did not know ,but I'm sure she is doubtful. Yesterday I had put my little boy kitty, of the pair down to be tested, but after discussing things with the vet and vet tech, thinking is was a slim to nonexistant chance my guys could be positive, I have decided to wait. I eventually will have everyone tested... At one time or another everyone has been tested, except my 12-13 year old...He has been with me all those years and vaccinated...but he has been indoor/outdoor. I , of course feel nervous and scared or I'm sure I would have done the tests already...I have not recovered from the news on my recently addition, Gracie, testing positive...As most of us know and have experienced it is gut wrenching when that test comes back positive...Your heart falls out of your chest, to put it mildly...Because we are only human, not perfect, I think too, we all have our favorie cats...For a favorite , most adored, I can only imagine...Everyone have a good day! Glenda --- catatonya [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In my opinion I would vaccinate. My positives were vaccinated before testing positive and it did them no harm. There is always a chance that you might pick up a stray cat and bring it home and then your cats would not be vaccinated. I do not re-vaccinate except every 3 years, but I do start out with the 2 vaccines. I think the vaccine has been proven by those on this list to do more good than harm. I do not worry at all about mixing a positive cat with my vaccinated cats. tonya Jane Lyons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cassandra My vet thinks that many of the health problems that both cats and dogs are facing is the result of over vaccination. I would not vaccinate such young cats, and I would research the Felk vaccine before I would ever consider it for basically indoor cats. The Felk vaccination is still controversial and vets at the University of Penn do not consider it safe. Google over vaccination of dogs and cats and check out the published research by the University of Colorado and Penn, and Dr Ronald Schultz and Dr. Jean Dodds.

To Glenda Re: using the media for the fire/Leslie's miracle story
Hey Glenda, The thing we may have to be careful of in this situation is the media. They might put Susan in her one bedroom apartment with all those cats on TV, and I don't know what the pet limit laws are in San Francisco, but I'm betting animal control will get involved. If the media only covered the fire and gave out Susan's contact info., that would be great, but I'm betting they'll want to know where the cats are now for the story, which probably wouldn't be good. The media, however, can be used for good in some situations. We had a member here, Leslie, back in October whose cats got carjacked in Washington state, if you can believe it! Thanks to the media (TV coverage), she got both her wonderful cats back in a matter of time, a couple of days or so. The thief left the car with the windows open in a retail area, and the cats got out. It is a miracle they weren't killed. One was found at a shelter and the other hanging around one of the stores, I believe. It's one of my all time favorite stories now. :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ - Original Message From: glenda Goodman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, August 5, 2007 2:02:05 AM Subject: Re: EMERGENCY!!

Re: A bit OT: Need help with sore on kitty's back; reaction to flea meds?

We left for a short vacation (4 days) and when we returned, she had this big sore on her back about the size of a quarter. The hair and top layers of skin were gone, and it was just raw skin, so I started spraying Bactine on it. After a few days of that, I could tell it was infected, so I put her on antibiotics (Clavamox), and the infection (pus) went away. I also started putting topical antibiotics on it. But even after several days of this, it is still not scabbing over! I am fairly sure it's a reaction to the flea meds, because my dog had the same reaction a few weeks before, but Bactine worked great on her. Although, it could be a spider bite or something else. Any ideas on what I can do for her now or what might be causing it? What about liquid skin? Has anyone used the human formula on their cats? I know it's not ringworm. I know what that looks like and it's not this! I can send a pic to anyone if you think you might be able to help by looking at the sore.

I just can't believe it, this truly is our worst nightmare come true for Susan and her charges. I'm sending prayers and soothing energy to help Susan and her cats rally and get through this. Susan is always so willing to pitch in and help those in need, I just know that she will be paid back 100 fold for all her kind deeds. Thank you for keeping us informed and please let Susan know we care. Nina

Re: Thanks, Wendy!--OT, but what has been going on over here
Wow! Thanks, Wendy! I kind of missed myself there for a while. What with poor little Sammy's FeLV and lymphoma and all the other things going on in my life I went into overload. Sammy went out of remission five weeks ago and was started on a rescue protocol and immediately went back into remission but last week-end, a few days after his second rescue protocol chemotherapy, he had an enormously hard time of it. The rescue protocol really took it out of him. His neutrophil count hit the skids, he was molto lethargic and his body temp went down to 95!--after he had been at his emergency vet, Animal 911, for a while!--so into oxygen on a warming pad with warmed fluids he went. It was touch and go, I was only allowed to look through the oxygen room glass for a very short time, and he stirred and cried when he heard my voice. Oh, my God, it was pitiful! We talked of the possibility of PTS and DNR in another room--away from little Sam, of course, and I went out to buy him, in tears, a beautiful little pink baby blankie to bury him in. But, bingo, he snapped back as his neutrophil count began to rise on its own, thank God! So, the FeLV has not hit his bone marrow (that was the crappy chemo) and he's working hard to keep his immune system perking. The next morning he had eaten (yum yum, baby chicken), was breathing on his own, and looked very perky but fatigued, I believe, as we drove to a 24-hour emergency clinic about five miles away--because he still needed monitoring and I wanted him to have oxygen availability. The emergency doc thought he looked a little peaky, however, and later that afternoon his RBC's dropped and he had a blood transfusion-- whew! Talk about the little guy being in the right place at the right time! He came home Tuesday afternoon in his beautiful new pink Homecoming blankie! I called his internal oncologist, a wonderful woman by the name of Amy Wiedemann, DVM, ACVIM for those of you in the Chicago area, and she said he had always been anemic (well, not THAT anemic) since she met him nearly four months ago. She told me that she thinks Sammy is constantly amazing her--because he is still with us here on Earth, sigh! Sammy is now on anti-nausea meds, which is like trying to pill a dragon/crocodile/little baby with about fifteen little clawed feet all paddling at me and anything in my hands away from his leetle mouf, which is clamped shut like a little parakeet's. So I called Animal 911 to see if I could bring him in for pilling and they said yes, we're mobbed. Come on in and we'll do it! So I bundled Sam up with his adorable little Big Sister Lilibet (Little Adoptive Mommy to the triplets) for company because she is so calm and off we went. Fortunately it's only ten or twelve minutes away on quiet streets. And they WERE mobbed! Yikes! I was there yesterday, Saturday, with Sammy's giant brother Charlie because I thought he had a bladder infection but it was just (always after the regular vet has closed) a tiny bit of intestinal trouble-- just looked like it was from his bladder. Oh, my Lord! Plus both the washing machine and the DW have given up the ghost so I'm a virtual unwashed, unmade bed (and by this time I don't even notice!) with a sinkful of dishes, off to--finally!--buy W/D and DW for my mom's house on Monday. Next? Try all new windows, a new microwave, an oven that actually works, a new fridge. Yes, it's the joys of taking care of Elderly Mommy! Oh--and she lost more of her sight over the last month or so, too. And constantly watching over the little one. When are the trees going to start raining money, eh?

Don't put your boy down. It is hardly necessary. I'm always shocked when vets still feel that way--that is old thinking! Just because he tests positive for FeLV doesn't mean he will get sick right away. My kitty Mamie lived for ten years with FeLV. The absolutely main thing you must think of is no stress for little Basil. Of course, that means Basil will be the most spoiled cat on the planet--but what are our darling pets for if not to spoil spoil spoil with love? You may want to consider finding a new, more forward-thinking vet to get the most positive, loving care for little

Little Sammy goes to his holistic vet for Reiki on Tuesday afternoon! Consciousness is Causal and Physicality is its Manifestation.
