[Felvtalk] When to start treatment?
I was just wondering when the best time to start treatment for FeLV is? While the cat is still healthy or best to wait until he/she is visibly sick? Also, which of the treatments mentioned on the site would you recommend? I am leaning towards Interferon, just because there seems to be more anecdotal evidence around for that - thoughts? Are your cats on multi-vitimins or anything to boost/support the immune system? Thanks so much, V xx___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Hi I appreciate all the info on FELV this group provides. I research treatments suggested and look for a variety of reliable sources to help me care for our cat, who is presently thriving despite 2 positive tests. The recent postings regarding black salve and Deva Khalsa gave me some concern. The links below, and others, raise issues about this product and the products promoted by this person.

Re: [Felvtalk] When to start treatment?
Vicky, I would start your kitty on a healthy diet if she is for sure FeLV positive. I hope that you confirmed the first test with an IFA test, just to be sure. How old is the cat? I know there are members of this group, other than myself, that are more familiar with the diet and meds that you should consider using. Give them a little time to chime in. Good luck to you and your sweet kitty!

Re: [Felvtalk] When to start treatment?
Hi there, I like to use b complex vitamins for any sort of stress or illness. Cats lose b vitamins during times of stress and illness. It definitely can boost appetite and thirst if you ever have a problem with any of that. I will send a link to a b complex page that has all products u can use for your kitty. B complex is just a simple easy to find product that definitely helps.

Re: [Felvtalk] Black salve
I have my doubts about this black salve too. If it is that much of a miracle salve vets would surely be using it. I fear this is just another quack making money on desperate people who want to save their pets. Human cancer victims fall for these things all the time, and it is unbelievably cruel to take money from people and give them false hope.

Re: [Felvtalk] When to start treatment?
Don't forget, even if the IFA is negative, it only means that it's not in the bone marrow yet..I have had recent personal experience with that.

Re: [Felvtalk] Black salve
Thanks for clarifying that there are different forms out there. On Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 1:37 PM, GRAS g...@optonline.net wrote: I beg to differ; I have seen the results of this original formula. This is NOT the black salve that you read about; it's nothing like it. It's also not a lot of money ($30) and lasts forever, nobody is getting rich on it, and for people who cannot afford it, it's FREE!, and really helps people and animals. Unfortunately, vets have been using a form of it, and it's very painful (this one is NOT, Pat added lidocaine to it). I have used the tonic on a cat, and am using it myself prophylactically.

Re: [Felvtalk] Black salve
From what I have been reading, physicians do use a form of this, bloodroot mixed with zinc oxide. The zinc oxide is what is so corrosive, The original remedy has been around for centuries. I'm definitely all for alternative and natural medicine. If you watch tv at all, you already know what side effects and dangers are out there from FDA APPROVED drugs!

Hi,Black salve (Neoplasene) isn't quackery. However it must be used with caution on a cat. I would strongly encourage anyone wishing to use it to join the Yahoo group -http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/TheBlackSalveNeoplaseneCancerForum/?yguid=323115008 It is a group with valuable information and very supportive.El Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 16:32:09 -0500 From: felineres...@frontier.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Black salve I have my doubts about this black salve too.
