Thank you for your suggestions.  I have changed my settings to receive 
individual emails instead of the digest and I think that probably will help.  
This is my first time in a Yahoo group - my other group (Feline Diabetes) has 
their own site and it is really easy for someone like me!  Thank you again~
  PS - (If I have a question like this (that is not related to the cats) is 
there another place I am supposed to post it or is the same board/address used 
for all topics?)

I am Glad he is doing better. The FHV is a chronic conditions that flares up
when a cat is stressed. A cat with FELV is less able to fight the virus off.
Junior has had this latest URI since summer. Yes he snorts, sometimes coughs
after purring. He still eats well and is of good weight. I always panic over
any new symptom. I need to stp doing that. Give BooBoo lots of love.

Hi Lynne

It is one of several viruses that cause most kitty colds/flu it is :

Feline rhinotracheitis virus (feline herpesvirus type 1 or FHV-1) causes
acute respiratory illness known as rhinotracheitis (or *feline herpesvirus
infection*). The virus affects domestic and wild cats worldwide.
The following website gives more information
http://www.animalhealthchannel.com/rhinotracheitis/

They can test for it. The other common virus is FCV feline calicivirus

Hope this helps. I assume Junior has the 1st one because of the eye
infection he had a year ago is classic symptom. The FCV causes mouth ulcers.
Junior does not get these.

Re: coughing

[Lynne]

Sally, when you refer to herpes which herpes virus are you referring to, the 
one that is sexually transmitted or the one that causes cold sores.  I just 
noticed today that BooBoo seems to have a bit of a discharge from his eyes, 
nothing I would personally be alarmed about, kind of like any other animal that 
gets a bit of gunk in his eyes.  We've started him back on his Doxycycline 
because the breathing issue seems to have settled.  My vet didn't bother to 
culture the fluid on his lungs so who knows what we are dealing with here.  
Like I've said, I really like this vet on a personal level but he is so 
determined that Boo is going to die, TODAY, that in my opinion he isn't being 
conscientious enough.  Every time we talk to him or see him, he says the same 
thing, "you understand that this is the end stage" and he doesn't really seem 
to want to save him.  Gosh, even this very cynical doctor in our building at 
work asked me about him yesterday and told me to offer as much paliative care 
as is reasonable before euthanizing him.  This doc is so funny.  He took time 
off work to go and assist in the spaying of his dog along with his vet.  

I don't know if you have access to Recovery food but it is the only thing our 
BooBoo will eat and he eats a good amount of it.  The main ingredient is 
chicken liver and fish oil.  I tried giving him regular chicken liver but he 
turned his nose up at it.  It's 2 bucks a can.  I think it's a good deal though 
because a little seems to fill him up.  Our other pig cat will eat anything you 
put in front of him, except this, fortunately.

  This sounds like what I am going through with Junior. He is now off 
antibiotics and getting chlorpheneramine to relieve congestion. He is about the 
same after a month. I think his is herpes as well. He also has the eye crud 
typical of herpes. He has been receiving L Lysine for over a year. I can only 
assume it slows the herpes virus down.

  A little over a month ago I decided to change his canned catfood. He is now 
eating Blue Buffalo Spa Selects. He likes the fishy kinds the most. He was 
having issues with his coat and this was a test to see if it helped. His fur 
was all over the house and always came out in clumps. I am happy to report he 
is no longer losing fur in clumps. His coat is still scruffy as my vet calls 
it, but I think that is more a grooming issue. Before he was on canned IAMS. He 
still free feeds on IAMS multicat. I have se veral porkers in the house, I was 
hoping this would help. Not sure it has made any difference other than the 
catfood bill going up. I need to weigh one of them to see.

  A very nasty day here in VA. Hope everyone is warm.

Re: BooBoo is home!!

[dede hicken]

Lynn,
I am so happy BooBoo is doing OK. My little Ki who
died in June came from the same kind of place.  I only
had him for a yr, but it was a good year, and he knew
what it was to be loved and wanted.  Forget the past. 
I know there are many people who can help you on this
list.  I was a novice (still am) but I was going to
try the IR on Ki.  I was impressed with the stuff I
read about it.  Go for all you can as long as Boo is
comfortable.  Bless you all.

Dede

Re: Austin, TX - Feline Leukemia kitty needs home

[Kelley Saveika]

I seriously doubt it.  Sheila is very against mixing FELV+ and -, and I
don't think with the polictical climate as it is at this time here I would
be the right one to suggest that to them.   People aren't educated here, and
I am not the one to educate them right now.

Tommy is a one-year-old orange and white Tabby that came to our apartment on
a cold and rainy night 5 weeks ago. His cry from being cold, wet and hungry

and ribs, took him inside and fed him immediately. We opened our home and
heart to him and he rewarded us with smiles and a gentle kind nature.
Duchess, our housecat and previous stray, tolerated him but wasn't too happy
to share her things with him. He humbly accepted his subservient role as
houseguest. Last week our vet informed us that Tommy was positive for the
FELV virus and suggested euthanasia. We were shocked and devastated. He
shows no signs of being sick and we were told he couldn't be around Duchess
our housecat anymore. We are retired and live in a 1-bedroom apartment here
in east Texas and have no extra room to confine Tommy while we find him a
new home. He is being housed at the vets in quarantine and time is running
out for him. Tommy is not neutered yet but otherwise seems to be in good
health since we took him in. We love this beautiful, playful little doll and
are heartsick over this latest death sentence. People aren't put to sleep

Re: Immuno-Regullin and exercise

Check with another vet just to make sure yours is up to date.

have his blood work done maybe every 3 to 6 months and as long as  
it's ok he probably doesn't need to be on anything like Interferon

will probably be the best thing for him right now.  I finally found  
a food our guy loves.  It's Recovery.  I think it has been mentioned  
on the list.  The main ingredient is chicken liver, fish oil and a  
lot of vitamins and minerals.  I honestly think that's what's  
keeping him going.


I so sympathize with how you are feeling.  I've stopped reading and  
am only going on the information I see on this list from people who  
are familiar with these cats.  I too look at my little guy and can't  
believe this is happening.  I swear I'm still in denial.  To look at  
him you would think he is the most beautiful healthy cat alive.  I'm  
tellin you it's taking its toll on me.  I am so bloody tired  
anymore, just worrying about him.  On the other hand the 19 year old  
healthy guy seems to have new life injected into him.  He's all  
mouthy and affectionate lately.

is on nothing now, besides premium food and lysine.

Buzz had some vaccinations about a month ago, is he still in danger?

am so glad for this site, I have a lready learned more real

  As long as she's doing well she could be around for quite a while.  My

Well, Isabella's blood work came back mostly good. Her white blood count is 
below normal~ around where it was last summer. That was disappointing. 
Her FELV test from yesterday came back positive (this is her third positive 
test). Disappointing but not surprising.
Her vet is having us stop giving the pain med and wants to reduce the pred 
if things go well with discontinuing the tramadal.
All in all her vet is pleased with her current health and appearance.

E-Mail Help

[Sue Koren]

Hello everyone - 
I think my computer is blocking out the e-mails from this site.  Yesterday I 
got nothing that I could read, but there were some e-mails coming through with 
nothing in the "from" column and "no subject" in the subject column.  Those 
were coming with the same frequency as the FeLV e-mails usually come, and they 
just started yesterday. I have never gotten that type of thing before the FeLV 
e-mails stopped coming. I don't think I did anything different on my computer.  
Also, today some old FeLV messages came through, ones from last week judging 
from the subjects being discussed, that I had not gotten then.
I would really like to get this working again, the advise from this group helps 
so much.  If anyone has any suggestions, please e-mail me direct.  [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]
Thank you,
Sue

Re: Immuno-Regullin and exercise

My Mandy is also "on" nothing but Wellness food and lysine.  My vet's opinion 
is not to start immunoregulin until there is an actually reason (symptom) to do 
so.
