Hi everyone,

I wanted to get your thoughts on a video of Krammer wheezing. He is 
12, has had FeLV for the past 1.5 years. The wheezing has been a 
chronic issue for the past year or so, and I've posted about it 
before, it's usually caused by a case of pneumonia (which my vet tells 
me is rare in cats, but he gets it a lot). On bad days he has a noisy, 
gurgly purr, frequent swallowing, and wheezing spells once or twice a 
day that last for about 30-60 seconds. Eventually the gurgles and 
swallowing will clear up, and he'll only have an occasional wheezing 
spell. He had an ultrasound/echocardiogram about 6 months ago, and an 
xray last month of his lungs which showed the small spot of pneumonia, 
and he took an antibiotic, which helped some.


This weekend his right eye got infected, with green discharge. He's 
had uveitis (one pupil smaller than the other) before, but not in 
awhile. I've been giving him Neomycin/Polymyxin gel since Sunday. He 
gets an LTCI injection (an immune booster) once a month, but I think 
I'll give him another one today. Does anyone else use LTCI?


 Going to check with my vet too, but wanted to see what the listserv 
had to say. Here's the wheezing video:

He's been sleeping a lot the past 2 days, but still has an appetite.

Thanks,

Hi Judy, How is Spice doing?

Yes, I AM planning to do a spay, if that's what we think is best. I have
heard about cats in heat - really devious little devils, and pains in the
neck. Really want to get this resolved, and hoping that it works out best
for my kitty. Her name is Spice, and she is (no surprise) a tortoiseshell
with white chest, belly, and paws. She really looks a lot like another
tortie I once had - a little jewel also. Thanks so much for your advice
and interest. Will let you know ASAP.

Hi Kat
You're still timely, there will be a meeting with the Vet
Friday, I believe. I just want to be clear on what I stated, so there is no
misunderstanding :). I think Kitty should be spayed, not aborted. Leaving
her intact would be an invitation to a repeat pregnancy, and the stress of
heat cycles. No matter how careful we are, cats get out, and a cat in heat
is VERY resourceful! At least with a spay, it's all over with.
All the best,
Margo

PLEASE have the abort the kittens. We have our vets here for the
FCC terminate cats pregnancies up until the time of birth, sometimes. And
if you have watched many kittens die of FeLV, like I have,you wouldnt wish
that on them. Not Only born to die,but a terrible death that is
unnecessary. I realize I am not replying in a timely manner, and I hope
it is not too late, but please, do the right thing by these kittens.Also,
in terms of Momma's Stress, no doubt about it, kitten birth, nursing, the
stress involved,and watching her own kittens die one by one. Please
terminate this pregnancy.

What kind of symptoms did he have before he was diagnosed, and any idea 
how long he might have actually had FeLV?  Just wondering if he might 
have had it all those years, or if it was contracted more recently.

Milkdud had an occasional episode like that, but of course never at the 
vet's.  He always sounded fine at the vet, nothing heard on stethoscope, 
blood work good, so it was just left to observation at home to see if it 
got worse.  It was pretty much the same over 4 years, just an occasional 
episode.

Re: [Felvtalk] Wheezing

Annie's behavior towards other cats sounds a little like my Angelina 
(FeLV negative, passed in 2009). I figured her motto was the best 
defense is a good offense!  I believe Angelina was motivated by fear, 
and she dealt with it by acting tough and chasing the other cats, and 
making them afraid of her so they would leave her alone.  Unfortunately, 
she did this one too many times, and the others began to stand up to 
her.  She ended up with her own room, much of the time with stacked baby 
gates in place of the door.  Later on, I was able to remove the baby 
gates because she stayed in the room, and the others wouldn't go in.  
Then one day I noticed a loud noise didn't startle her.  I tested with 
various noisemakers behind her, where she couldn't see them or feel 
puffs of air from them, and she showed no response at all.  She was 
totally deaf!!  I had her for several years and never knew!  She was a 
tuxedo, not an all-white cat with blue eyes, so the possibility never 
occurred to me.  And she compensated very well.

Re: [Felvtalk] Wheezing

HAVE YOU TRIED VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS FOR KRAMER?  

ANNIE CAME FROM A LADY DYING FROM CANCER.  IF SHE COULD NOT FIND HER A HOME, 
WAS GOING TO HAVE HER PUT DOWN.  SHE HAD BEEN ONLY CAT IN SINGLE TRAILER WITH 
KATHY ALL HER 4 YEARS.  MY VET KEPT ASKING IF I WANTED TO TAKE HER.  I WASN'T 
SURE AS I HAD ONE CAT LEFT FROM MY ORIGINAL GROUP AND ALSO FATHER WAS HERE AND 
SHE WOULD HAVE TO ADAPT TO MUCH, NOT TO MENTION A LARGE HOUSE AND BASEMENT  
.KATHY'S SISTER WENT TO HER TRAILER, CHANGED THE BOX, PUT OUT FOOD AND WATER 
AND THAT WAS IT FOR 3 WEEKS.  THEN SHE WAS STUFFED IN A CARDBOARD BOX AND 
BROUGHT TO THE VET  I PUT HER IN A CARRIER AND BROUGHT HER HOME.   SHE STAYED 
IN THE BASEMENT FOR 2 WEEKS, COMING UP FOR FOOD AT NIGHT WHEN ALL WAS QUIET.  
THEN, SHE CAME UP AND STAYED UP BUT BEGAN THE SCREAMING, CHASING AND SLAPPING 
EVERY TIME SNUGLES CAME NEAR HER AND RAN FROM FATHER AND I.  THEN I GOT HOMEY 
FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS GOING TO TAKE HER OUT AND DUMP HER BECAUSE SHE WAS 
INCONVENIENT AND FAIRLY SOON AFTER THAT, CASEY AND LIL BIT, NITNOY 
 AND LAST 2 THREE MONTH OLD KITTENS, HARLEY AND DEE.  THE SCREAMS ARE NOT AS 
LOUD NOW AND THE OTHER NIGHT SHE LAID IN MY LAP ON THE RECLINER THE SAME TIME 
DEE WAS THERE.  IF I CAN HOLD HER LONG ENOUGH FOR HER TO SETTLE DOWN, THE WILL 
TOLERATE OTHERS NEAR HER. I THINK SHE WOULD BE HAPPY IN A ONE CAT HOUSE, BUT 
NOW SHE IS AT HOME HERE, ANOTHER CHANGE MIGHT DO HER IN. LIL BIT AND CASEY DIED 
OF OLD AGE, NITNOY WAS MY OTHER FELV AND PASSED AFTER 2 YEARS.  OTHER THAN THE 
SNEEZING (GOING TO VET TO BE SURE NOT SERIOUS) AND OBSESSIVE/COMPULSIVE LICKING 
AT CERTAIN SPOTS ON HER LEGS, SHE SEEMS CONTENT, EATS WELL, SLEEPS ON MY BED 
(HER BED)WHICH ON ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED ON.  
ALL THESE BABIES WE BRING HOME HAVE BOTH EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL PROBLEMS THAT 
WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH.  I JUST WISH THEY COULD TALK AND TELL US 
ABOUT THEIR ACHES AND PAINS SO WE COULD HELP THEM BETTER. I WATCH THEM LIKE A 
HAWK AND CONSTANTLY FEEL FOR BUMPS .  EVERYONE HERE THINKS I AM CRAZY, THEY ARE 
JUST CATS.  CATS THAT HAVE TAKEN OVER MY HEART AND GIVEN ME SO MUCH, THEY 
DESERVE THE BEST I CAN GIVE THEM.
JUST TESTED ANNIE FOR HEARING.  DON'T THINK THAT IS A PROBLEM.  THAT IS ANOTHER 
PROBLEM, THEY ARE CONDITIONED BY NATURE TO NOT DISPLAY ANY ILLNESS OR INJURY 
THAT THEY KEEP US FROM KNOWING THEY ARE HURTING.

 Annie's behavior towards other cats sounds a little like my Angelina 
 (FeLV negative, passed in 2009). I figured her motto was the best 
 defense is a good offense!  I believe Angelina was motivated by fear, 
 and she dealt with it by acting tough and chasing the other cats, and 
 making them afraid of her so they would leave her alone.  Unfortunately, 
 she did this one too many times, and the others began to stand up to 
 her.  She ended up with her own room, much of the time with stacked baby 
 gates in place of the door.  Later on, I was able to remove the baby 
 gates because she stayed in the room, and the others wouldn't go in.  
 Then one day I noticed a loud noise didn't startle her.  I tested with 
 various noisemakers behind her, where she couldn't see them or feel 
 puffs of air from them, and she showed no response at all.  She was 
 totally deaf!!  I had her for several years and never knew!  She was a 
 tuxedo, not an all-white cat with blue eyes, so the possibility never 
 occurred to me.  And she compensated very well.

Re: [Felvtalk] Wheezing

OK, my memory isn't so good, but I did some digging and found a video I
took in January 2012 of him wheezing (about 1 and a half years before he
was diagnosed FeLV). So I guess it's been a longer issue. But has never
really interfered with quality of life.

 Lethargy, not eating, sleeping a lot. I had to assist feed him for a month
 or so, combined with several LTCI shots, to get him back to his normal
 self.

 What symptoms did he have that led you to have him tested?

 He hasn't always had the wheezing. He tested negative for FeLV before I
 started fostering kittens several years ago. I fostered one kitten who was
 light positive and eventually turned negative. They were separated at
 first, and only interacted after the kitten turned negative. When Krammer
 tested positive, I had been fostering a litter and their mama. Mama had
 tested negative, so everyone was interacting. I got the mama and her litter
 when they were 2 weeks old. The kittens were about 3.5 months old when
 Krammer became ill. I tested him and he came back positive. The kittens
 were all positive too, and have since died. Mama cat got retested (neg),
 adopted out and is doing fine.
 So either they got it from their dad, and passed it on to Krammer, or he
 had a latent infection that just showed up while I had them, and he gave it
 to them. It's hard to know. We retested most of the kittens I had fostered
 before the positive litter (they had been adopted out, so we contacted the
 adopters and offered retesting for free) -- None of them came back positive.
