[Felvtalk] Merry Christmas & Happy Anniversary wishes

2017-12-27 Thread Jennifer Olson
December 22nd marked the beginning of our 2nd yr with Figaro in our lives.
He is healthy, but a bit heavy- the kind of weight gain common after being
neutered. Have yet to get him integrated into the clan, so each of us
"bipedals" lavish Figaro with various kinds of attention... of course I'M
the "Mama" so Figaro and I do lots of grooming & cuddling!
Much admiration goes out to all of you, whose loving strength enriches the
lives of precious fur-babies, for as long as we are able!

[Felvtalk] Pathetic

2017-08-01 Thread Jennifer Olson
I just realized that a young cat I saw on I-35 in Minneapolis August of '91
was probably tossed too!  During rush hour no less, I couldn't do anything
to help it, I was a passenger and that poor baby had been severely injured
already. I still remember the absolute, helpless horror and what the
precious little creature looked like-  even though I probably only saw it
for a fraction of a second.
Bob, I agree completely.

I agree Robert, it is a HUGE struggle to maintain a "good heart" towards
all people- even those that practically demand to be hated. Also afraid
that faced with any act of abuse- I too would have to face the law.
There are web petition links where I get added 'relief' by signing to find
& prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrating heinous
acts against innocents.
Am I allowed to pass along the names of these sites (although I'm certain
some in this chat are probably quite familiar already) ?

Mo had The Best-

And it was ALL because YOU are who you are.
God sent him to you-
because without you,
Mo wouldn't have been given a
shadow of a chance.
Your selflessness to give Mo everything & hold back no part
of your heart (knowing one day you would likely outlive him)
made you his angel-

Now Mo is your lil angel,
he is HEALTHY,  FREE from suffering,  looking forward to the day of your
reunion-
a blink of the eye for him...

My prayers are with you as this raw grief slowly heals,

When I had to give my cat subcutaneous fluids because of her condition-
Zuzu began to act like she wasn't sure if I was about to inject her- or
just wanted to hold her each time I picked her up.
THAT was killing ME!  That is when I realized I was being selfish. All I
was going to have until her & I are reunited in Heaven are my memories. I
did NOT want them to become ugly last days with my beloved baby girl.
Jelly will be waiting for you in Heaven, no matter what you choose... with
love & hope it is you making the choices we all will face eventually with

2017-03-06 Thread Jennifer Olson
Have vet appointment soon. Can't find the rationale for prednisone in
Zander's protocol.

Would like to have that information when I see Dr.

The demodex gatoi !  Figaro would very likely NOT have gotten the parasite
if the FeLV wasn't present.
Still working on that & ear mites- oral ivermectin every other day and a
topical product meant to be used once/ mo Vet said to apply every 2 wks for
approx 6 wks. Ear mites are quite stubborn, but the skin mites are
succuming- maybe even OFF him now.

Integrate Figaro after he heals from neutering. He is due to be retested
for FeLV, and I will be discussing his health & getting neutered ASAP! as

Concern being surgery stressing him & virus becomming an issue.

Figaro has urinated on the bed at least once before (didn't wake me up, but

Thanks Amani... this is very helpful and I will do my best to locate these

VERY interesting about the ebola virus and the eyes it does indeed
appear that the virus established a foothold in Yogi's eyes   BUT... it
was also via the eyes that I was able to introduce antiviral meds that my
Veterinary opthalmologist was using off label.  Of course the target
for these meds was the Herpes Virusbut it too ,is,  a retro Virus and
these meds "might" have had some effect on the FeLV virus as well
had I used them for a longer time ( though I would have had to have sold my
house to do so : )
You can find ALL sorts of aid for these Anti Virals if you are using them
for HIV or Herpes 1 or 2 but they are hard to locate at discount for
Veterinary Use.  I really am VERY concerned at the price of Vet
services as I feel they will ultimately reduce the number of pet
owners.  I was able to easily afford to keep 4 cats on a rather low
Social Worker income back in the 80's but keeping one ill FeLV in 2017 can
easily add 400.00 a month to ones expenses  Many people who might
formerly have adopted multiple cats will now only take in one or  two.
All the more reason for forums like ours as it is up to us to share our
knowledge and experiences to help each other avoid total reliance on a
veterinary system that is not always working to preserve our FeLV cats
lives.

Alright-  Figaro just pee'd on my bed right- next to me- after I cleaned
box (and then his paws because he made loose poop & got litter ETC on the
bed) caught him in the act. He hasn't been neutered yet. I threw my bedding
into washer, sprayed bed with "Nature's Miracle- No Spray" & resolved I am
NOT remaking bed...
I can hear him crying, like he does when I AM there trying to go to sleep.
Overnight is the biggest lump of time I can be with him so he isn't
COMPLETELY isolated, alone I hate this.
Do I just go to bed now upstairs, or TRY to lay in a dry spot with new
blankets?

[Felvtalk] Knowledge is power

2017-02-10 Thread Jennifer Olson
If I had known about the need for FeLV+ homes before I got my other cats, I
just might have started a little refuge myself. How worried SHOULD we be
about keeping the FeLV+ stray I've become attached to over the last few
weeks?
Worrying is ruining quality of life here...

MN.  Right now I'm about to switch from oral ivermectin to Feline Advantage
Multi.
His fur appears to be growing back, and he must be scratching less because
nearly all of the scabs/ bumps are gone- BUT it would be nice to destroy
the mites FASTER, & without the nasty tasting oral.
Your thoughts?

Re: [Felvtalk] age

2017-02-09 Thread Jennifer Olson
On Dec 22nd, 2016 an ADORABLE young male kitty arrived crying @ our home.
We already have 3 cats & a dog, so we tried to find him a home. After a
month, and having allowed him inside (kept seperate from our zoo) due to
lethally cold weather, we decided he was here to stay. I was DEVASTATED
when he tested positive for FeLV. My problem isn't whether to give him a
chance at as long of a happy life he may have ahead of him, but HOW !  We
can't keep him alone in the basement bedroom forever, there isn't even a
decent sized window for him & my heart breaks that the only time I can give
him is to sleep by him at night. The few times I check in on him during the
day are so brief! He has SUCH character, and is SO handsome. I don't know
how he ended up at our home, unless he was dumped or left a nearby farm.
WHERE are the rescue agencies for FeLV+ cats ? ? ? Currently I'm treating
him for skin mites (has ear mites TOO) so he MIGHT be deemed "adoptable" at
a shelter that does try adopting out FeLV+ cats. The precautions necessary
to keep the mites, FeLV, oh yes- AND worms (had to treat EVERYONE) from
spreading is also wearing me out.
CAN  ANYONE  HELP  US ?
