Re: [Felvtalk] New member, advice needed please!
It sounds like you're doing everything you can. My first positive went through 2 very bad periods and recovered to live to 7 or 8 years old. I hope Tora pulls through. take care, tonya amanda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi , my kitten ' 'Tora' aged about 5 months was diagnosed with FeLV yesterday, he was sick since last friday which I mistaked for food poisoning!

Re: [Felvtalk] New member, advice needed please!
Amanda, my FeLV+ kitties haven't crashed yet so I don't know the odds of pulling through. My Sissy did have swollen lymph nodes that improved after a round of a/b, I do know a sick kitty needs fluids and food. You can blend most pate style canned foods with a little liquid until it is the consistency of a thick milk shake and syringe feed Tora. There is a Yahoo Assist Feeding group with more info. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Feline-Assisted-Feeding/ You could also try meat baby food (no onions or garlic) if that is available in Japan. Until you are able to get a handle on his problems it is important to get food into him. Sick kitties actually need more calories than healthy kitties. There are meds for pain like buprenorphine (Buprenex) that are very effective. Please do not use Metacam (meloxicam) which can lead to kidney failure in some cats, Hugs to Tora Sharyl --- On Fri, 10/24/08, amanda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: amanda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Felvtalk] New member, advice needed please!

Re: [Felvtalk] New member, advice needed please!
amanda, since you are using vets, acupuncture and holistic, that is about all we can do. try praying. God can work miracles if that is in His plan. at least, He can give you the strength to get thru this. dorlis amanda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi , my kitten ' 'Tora' aged about 5 months was diagnosed with FeLV yesterday, he was sick since last friday which I mistaked for food poisoning!

Re: [Felvtalk] New member, advice needed please!
Of course he has a chance. Please remember none of us are guaranteed any specific time on this earth. All we can hope/pray for is to be cared for and loved...Tora has that. Please do not focus on what may happen but care for Tora and enjoy his love. I do know what I am talking about. I learned from the Royal Princess Kitty Katt and my Junior Partner, Dixie Louise Doodle Katt. The lessons are hard but very important. You are doing wonderfully. Tora is cared for and knows lovewhat more can any of us ask for? Blessings to you all and, most of all, peace.
