Re: [Felvtalk] non regenerative anaemia

2016-09-17 Thread Anna Summers
from the people in this group they have seen winstol help - try it …. it might 
help her … I lost my girl last year ,  I asked the vet to get me winstol but  
by the time they found out about it , it was too late for mine.  Its such a 
horrible virus … hopefully one day there will be more treatments ,sending lots 
of purrs from us in Spain .

2016-06-14 Thread Anna Summers
 I believe you should wait till they are 5 months old to test them - 
If the mother is positive then  the kittens will have the antibodies from the 
mother  to protect them hopefully …. and if tested too soon they will also test 
positive. 
Maybe as soon as it seems fair and they can eat on their own they should  be 
separated, not to cause   more risk from them catching the virus . 
Once the antibodies  start to descrease this is the time to vaccinate…

Thank you Lorrie,  “ Snuggles “ is very healthy  and doesnt seem to have any 
sort off illness , just eats alot but I have seen how the virus is so silent 
and then just takes over them.

I am nervous about testing too soon and that he might test positive due to the 
antibodies of the virus from the mother … do they leave their system eventually 
 ?

Will keep you posted, you are all such a wonderful group , I follow all the 
post/emails .

[Felvtalk] help /advice - testing age of kittens

2016-01-25 Thread Anna Summers
Hi , I live in spain in a very rural are  & last year I lost 2 cats  who were 
felv +  , they were not in contacted with my house cats  but one of  them  ( 
9yrs old )  is  latent  positive DNA  with a low reading of the virus ,  I did 
a quantative  pcr  , he was negative in the elisa test and I was told that he 
is not contagious . my other 2 cats are vacinated  against fel.
my question …..
As I see yourselves are up to date with all the latest things  - someone  left 
a kitten on my wall just before christmas - he is now been in “ quarantine” for 
5 weeks , he is about 4months old , I need to test him  but when is the right 
time to test kittens as I have read many article re: the anitbodies of the 
mother so a kitten can test false positive.
I am keen to know , as he is on his own and hopefully he will be negative  so I 
then can vaccinate him  as I am also told that, are they any special test to do 
this , I dont want to do the basic snap test and I am happy to do the elisa and 
a pcr test.
Hope you can help me , here in the area a live in which is very rural ,lots of 
ferral cat  the vets  just give up on felv + , so I dont wont to ask my vet  
until I am up to date with all the information.
thank you

Hi Lorrie, 
this means that your mailbox is full so the message from this group goes back 
to them as if you didnt want it or your email doesnt exsist anymore thats why ( 
I think ) that they ask you to  reset password etc.
Yes its a very good group ,  I read all the emails, very informative but also 
very supportive .
Hope this helps you re: your email box , try to download and delete your 
messages your have read.
