Re: [Felvtalk] FELV Transport to Best Friends
I agree! I've had some awful results with tranquilizers. The cats become terrified and feel out of control which adds to their fear. Lorrie On 09-17, Natalie wrote: If I may offer some advice, don't sedate! My vet hates it because you never know how any cat may react...cats get more frightened by sedation, what's happening to them, than a trip. As long as their cage/carrier is covered, to make them feel safe, there's not much of problem. I have been transporting cats by car and even on the plane in the cabin often, and never used sedation. Some cats were not exactly tame. Natalie ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
[Felvtalk] 2 Darling Devils..
Hello Everyone, I am writing to you all in hopes that I may reach a broader group of wonderful people. Over 6 months ago I rescued 2 kittens that are both negative for fiv/felv but had the calisi virus and were scheduled for euthanasia. They were from different litters and grouped together. I went in an scooped them up and spent close to 1000dollars on treatment medication vaccinations neuter microchip etc. They are now healthy and ready for a new home...problem is they are about 6.6 months old and I have had zero interest in them. I am willing to do out of state adoptions, but I will not make any exceptions on a vet reference and a home visit...which is what I am requesting.These guys are awesome and I would love for them to be adopted together because they have bonded so well, however I will not deny either one of them a good home because of this. I am in it for the long haul...I just really need help advocating their adoption because apparently there is some stigma attached to them due to the calisi they had as babesany and all positive and constructive advise is super duper appreciatedthank you all...and God Bless!

Re: [Felvtalk] 2 Darling Devils..
We have two cats at our house that had Calici when we rescued them and it should not be a lifelong stigma because once they are over it and continue to get an FVRCP vaccination every year there should be no issues. Also, if they are adopted into a household with other cats and those cats are vaccinated, there should not be a problem with them either. I have never heard of anyone not wanting to adopt a cat because he/she had the flu when he/she was a kitten. Basically, that is what the Calicivirus is, the flu, and while it CAN (and often does) kill a cat, not adopting because a cat was once sick seems ludicrous to me.

Re: [Felvtalk] 2 Darling Devils..
What kind of a vet would suggest euthanasia of cats that once had a cold? With vets like that, who needs enemies! The same goes for having a cold that would be a corona virus, which often makes diagnosis of FIP hard because it's also a corona virus.OMG - I have NEVER, ever, heard of anything like that! It's not a stigma, nor should it be, and never has been for us; most people have no idea what all that means, unless some vet scares the hell out of them with such nonsense ..

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV Transport to Best Friends
I have transported several real scaredy cats by plane, in the cabin. I always used a harness with a leash on them and a pillow case over them when I took them out of the carrier to go through security. I merely picked up the pillow case, with the open end together in a bunch, leash hanging out.then slipped the pillowcase with cat back into the carrier, and removed the leash from the harness so he wouldn't get entangled. Eventually the cat made himself comfortable in the pillow case and even peeked out from the inside. The TSA people thought that I was nuts, with all those precautions - giggling, making fun - I asked them if they would you prefer an escaped cat, 'cause I wouldn't! Even if this cat is sedated, please get a harness and a leash as an extra precaution! You never know how they can react, maybe even freak out!

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV Transport to Best Friends
Hi My year and a half FELV pos Choe is suddenly as of last night not eating. She seems hungry and runs to the bowl, but then just looks at it and doesn't seem to like what's in the bowl! She seems a little growly too at the other cats. And she keeps wanting to go outside for some reason but I won't let her as she would not come back in last night but luckily I got her in. Strange behavior for her. What do you all think? I am taking her to vet tonight. She doesn't seem like she is lethargic so I am not sure running a fever. What is the consensus?

Makes a big difference between having a panicked cat in a carrier traveling for a few miles and having a lay back cat having a nap on the way. The worst it can do is nothing.

Re: [Felvtalk] Nutrition and new FeLV positive kitten (Lisa)
I used Nutra-Cal for my Felv kitty, Prancer that just passed away. He lived for over 9 years! I ordered it from my Vet or Entirely Pets.com. Also, I used Interferon for many years and this was only $25.00 for a bottle, the bottle lasted for about 2 months for his size (10 lbs). Prancer did not like wet food and I typically fed him Science Diet or Purina One. I know that is a bit pricey for some on a budget, but I swear by it for a Felv cat:) I also used these for a Felv Kitten (3 weeks old) that somebody threw out on the street and I was lucky enough to be walking the dog when they dumped the kitten off. A friend of mine adopted the kitten and we are waiting to retest the kitten. The kitten is doing great! Cisco actually had hookworms and I found out from the vet that hookworms can kill a kitten!!

He was 1 of 3 cats supposed to be headed out there and they decided they needed to work with a vet to find a better solution for getting him through long travel. The biggest issue is now with all the new travel security requirements he can't just stay in his carrier he must be removed and his carrier xrayed while he comes through the xray with me. They have done tests runs with the sedation and feel it is the best option for us making it through security safely without putting him, myself or security at risk when removing him from the carrier. Other products have not worked with him. He takes a very long time to adjust and warm up (but once he does is said to be a total sweety). Other problem being I do not know nor have I ever met this cat. He will be arriving at my house in a few hours but I am no home and will only have time to meet him for about 10 minutes prior to being out the door again this evening. None of it is the ideal situation however I am his only option to save his life and I do not feel comfortable removing a cat from the carrier unsedated that those who actually know the cat have expressed great concern about the problems I will have with him. I don't think its as simple as minor anxiety or stress for this guy. -- Jamielynn Storch http://www.jlynnphotographyonline.com/ ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] FELV Transport to Best Friends
A toothache? Beginning Stomatitis? Stuffy nose and can't smell her food so she gives up? Did you change bowls, maybe to soak the old bowl and this is a new one? Washed the floor with something that has a scent? I always think simple before screaming and rushing out the door but of course, with a cat who is FeLv+ you shouldn't wait too long. Could it be something like constipation? A hairball sticking in her throat? Growly sounds like something is hurting her and she doesn't want the other cats to touch her. Going outside sounds like she wants to find a place to take a dump because she has had no success in the litter box. Just some ideas from my cats who have been there and done everything.

She seems hungry and runs to the bowl, but then just looks at it and doesn't seem to like what's in the bowl! She seems a little growly too at the other cats. And she keeps wanting to go outside for some reason but I won't let her as she would not come back in last night but luckily I got her in. Strange behavior for her. What do you all think?

Allow it the time to dry, never spray while cat is inside. It really calms them down. I do this when transporting to the vet. Makes a big difference between having a panicked cat in a carrier traveling for a few miles and having a lay back cat having a nap on the way. The worst it can do is nothing. It's not harmful and the cats all react much the same, either calm or not as stressed out as they would be. Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too!
