[Felvtalk] Ginger; virus in bone marrow
.. I want to tell you what hapenned to us with our FeLV+ Jourdan. On Thurs vet though virus was in the bone marrow. Sat she was very poor but she was holding her own. By Mon one of her eyes looked very strange so I went to get things ready to get her to vet, drove her there, less than 10 mts. We got her out of carrier, set on table, when vet came in she reared her head up and stared at them. Both her eyes were completly white, looked like something out of a horror movie. Vet said the virus would have gotten in her brain and made her blind, she was in lots of pain so we helped her along. But did I wish I had done it before.. I'm not saying same will happen to Ginger but we don't know. If virus is in the bone marrow it is very bad and she's really suffering. Whatever you do will be the best decision Sending a big hug Marta http://homelessnomore.webs.com/___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Ginger; virus in bone marrow
I'm a little confused. I thought the FeLV virus gets into the bone marrow of every cat that is not able to extinguish the virus. The virus gets into the blood stream then progresses to the bone marrow. From there the virus will replicate in the white blood cells and the cat will stay persistantly viremic or it will become dormant in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is where the virus resides in every positive cat isn't it? “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 12:06:02 -0800 From: marta.gas...@yahoo.com To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Ginger; virus in bone marrow ..

I believe that when the IFA test becomes positive, the virus has gotten into the bone marrow.
