Re: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba
Hemobart is short for Hemobartanellosis. It's usually now called Mycoplasma Hemofelis. It's a blood parasite, and causes anemia in cats. Mostly thought to be from fleas and ticks. It is often asymptomatic unless combined with some other disease process, so may go undiagnosed. Treatment can be with a tetracycline (usually doxycycline) or some florquinilones (Baytril/Zenequin). https://ahdc.vet.cornell.edu/clinpath/modules/rbcmorph/mycoplasma-felis.htm http://en.wikivet.net/Feline_Infectious_Anaemia -Original Message- From: trustinhi...@charter.net Sent: Sep 15, 2013 9:21 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Cc: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba What is a hemobart?

Re: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba
Got bloodwork done yesterday. The only thing it shows is high WBC, which we figure, so he is trying to fight some sort of infection. He still has a temp of 104. Eating only a little on his own. Trying to arrange an ultrasound as his tummy has always been tender. Could be a tumor? Worried though if they put him under for the ultrasound (which they will have to do) he will not come out. Thought maybe that would be a blessing in disguise.

Re: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba
For fleas in your house you might want to use FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth. Be sure it's the food grade, not the other type because the non-food grade can get into the lungs and cause all sorts of problems. I had a major flea infestation in my outside enclosure shed which is home to ten cats who are inappropriate for house living. My friend gave me a bag of food grade diatomaceous earth which I spread on the floor of the shed and swept it on in a very thin layer. I closed the shed door for that day and night (good weather so the cats could be in their outside completely escape proof area. The next day, when I went into the shed and then stepped outside, there were no nasty black little specks hopping on my pants leg. Nothing. The fleas were gone. It was then easier for the Frontline Plus I use on the cats to do its thing. I even treated part of their yard with the stuff with excellent results and no harmful chemicals. The food grade diatomaceous earth is used as a supplement in feed for cows, horses and dogs so even if the cats lick it off their fur, it will do no harm. It's a calcium supplement. It's excellent for treating carpets and if you don't mind a grey sheen on your lino or wood floors, it's good for that also. For floors, sweep it around the woodwork along the walls and down into crevices where the lino doesn't fit so well against the wall, if you have that problem. It's great for dark closets and behind appliances, even for treating sofas and futons, if you vacuum it out after a few hours. Diatomaceous earth works on the principle of dehydrating the soft underside of the flea. What you end up with is a dead, dehydrated flea. It works on any insect that has a soft underside. Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too!

Re: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba
You and Bubba are in my thoughts, Beth. I hope he recovers soon! There was a time I thought our Polli was suffering from haemobartonella because she had a bad bout of fleas and was extremely anemic. Getting rid of her fleas was a long process but she's an indoor cat and we were eventually able to get her flea-free. I gave her a few flea baths and would comb through her fur and pick fleas off with tweezers! The vet gave us Doxy just incase. Polli recovered slightly but has yet to fully recover. To put it bluntly, FeLV sucks. I hate dealing with it but it breaks my heart to watch Polli and hear of all these wonderful cats who are battling this awful disease. -Amanda On Wed, Jun 12, 2013 at 12:51 PM, Beth create_me_...@yahoo.com wrote: Hey guys need some positive energy for one of my FeLV fosters - Bubba.

Re: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba
Hi Beth, All healing energies headed your way for Bubba. Most URI's are viral, and the most common is herpes. Have you tried famciclovir? Has done wonders for my boys. You're very lucky to have access to doxy, now that it is so expensive and scarce, most places don't have it. Hope it does the job. If you can trade the prednisone for prednisolone, it will be more bio-available for Bubba. The capstar should knock out the fleas if you can keep him from re-infesting. Fortunately Advantage still seems to be effective for me, Frontline never did work.
