Re: [Felvtalk] 28 Cats..
Everything we tested was positive, and Zander most certainly had FeLV. Interestingly enough, when I was able to successfully treat him with the Winstrol/Doxy/Prednisone protocol, later vets started musing that perhaps he never had FeLV. After all, they certainly couldn't admit that a drug they had discounted due to its supposed propensity to damage the liver, was an effective treatment for FeLV. When Zander began responding to the treatment, against all expectations, some of the vets preferred to question the diagnosis.

I have mixed positive and negative cats for years and no negatives have contracted the disease. They share beds (mine) bowls and boxes. At first when the negatives were young, I had them vacinnated, now I do not they are all at least 13 years old.

It seems to me, each one of us has a different vet - and each vet seems to have a differing opinion - it's what they "learned" in school and unless they seek to know more and better info continue with the same practices and opinions- such as the "yearly" vaccine protocol.

Thank you . I love them all but a vacation one year might be nice. Too many animals to leave and go away. I don’t trust many to actually be able to medicine the ones that need it.

Sheila, in my (completely unprofessional) opinion, the vaccine is a good idea for your cats that are currently healthy. If it were me, I'd keep the FIV and FeLV separated just because they already have compromised immune systems and any illness they come in contact with could really be devastating.

Re: [Felvtalk] 28 Cats..
Sheila, in my (completely unprofessional) opinion, the vaccine is a good idea for your cats that are currently healthy. If it were me, I'd keep the FIV and FeLV separated just because they already have compromised immune systems and any illness they come in contact with could really be devastating. Also, the less stressed your FeLV cat is, the better off they will be. Thank you for taking in so many sick and unwanted animals, they are certainly lucky to have found their way to your home!

Re: [Felvtalk] 28 Cats..
No one helps me Bob. I started a 2nd job at an animal hospital so I can get the discount on all the cats. It's still very expensive. No fosters, they stray in to the farm and people drop off sickly animals and all the humane society would say is that if I turned the cats in to them, they would be put down. So until I can't afford to eat, I just get them spayed, neutered and healthy again and I just keep them. 14 are indoors. The sickly and sweet ones I always bring in . Glad I have a big house. -Original Message- From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of ROBERT CHAPEL Sent: Friday, July 21, 2017 3:52 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] 28 Cats..

My son Skylar is doing well and his 6 month bloodwork came back great. High cholesterol is all. No idea why that would be. He is now 2 1/2 years old, I hope he is around a long time.

Things have been very quiet on the group lately...OR... I am once again not getting group mail Has there been activity I've missed?? My Hospice Boy ( Gilbert) is doing quite well for the moment but ( as we all know with such things it could change any minute...so I'll just enjoy it while it's happening)Wondering if any of you have experience with Higher dose Prednisolone administered chronically ( say above 7.5 mg QD)... When I agreed to Foster Gilbert it came with the proviso that I would follow their directions ( Which I will hold to unless I feel they are killing him unnecessarily quickly) His Tumor does not appear to have gotten any larger and his pain appears to be pretty well controlled Just wish I knew specifically what is helping the most so I could cut down on superfluous drugscurrently he's on Gabapentin( .4 cc BID if pain is up.. QD if doing OK).. for pain, prednisolone ( 10 mg QD administered via syringe dissolved in milk, Venus Fly Trap SubQ BID ( interesting substance... bears closer scrutiny... supposed to have anti tumor activity) Two other " alternative " medications ! which I h ave suspended only because the poor boy screams bloody murder every time I have to give him something. with a tumor invading his oral cavity I want to keep anything PO to a minimum Seems that the cats I've had that are _ supposed_ to ( clincally) die don't and the ones that that aren't ..do Hope everyones buddies are doing reasonably well ( as reasonably well as FeLV Kitties can do)... Gilbert, as I mentioned, had a traumatic brain injury which has left him with poor balance... but lately he's been insistent on expanding his range and even tried running this AM..
