Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?
Yes, that was a helpful article - thanks. Well, I found that my stray only had an ELISA test. I didn't take her to the cat rescue. I am going to have her re-tested in a few weeks - maybe it was a false positive!? On Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 8:45 PM, Marcia Baronda marciabmar...@gmail.com wrote: Great link, Sharyl.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I had this set on digest so I didn't see them.

My first concern is to protect my existing cat. 2 different vets advised me against vaccinating him for FeLV because of sarcoma risk (he is an indoor cat).

I think she'd do ok indoors as long as she had other cats for company. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://fusion2.fusionhost.com/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://fusion2.fusionhost.com/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://fusion2.fusionhost.com/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?
That is highly possible! If it is positive again, please do an IFA test to confirm. If it is positive, then it's in the bone marrow :( But in the meantime, let's think positive :))) L - Original Message - From: Shanda Robertson sha...@well.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 4:28 AM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?

Re: [Felvtalk] LTCI
Hi, I have been using LTCI on my felk kitten and she has been doing great! She was 1lb runt who had struggled to put any weights even when she was 3 to 4 months old - however, since I have been putting her on LTCI - she has become so healthy - now she weighs almost 7lb! Anyway, I am looking for someone who may want to split the vials with me - I normally purchase 10 vials - but since she is on LTCI for every 2 to 3 weeks now. I wanted to split someone to be economical. 10 vials is $440 to 450 wiht tax plus shipping - please contact me if you are interested in doing so. thank you.
