Re: Here is the link/vet school in austin
Hey Glenda, I just read the post below. It says there is a veterinary school in Austin, TX, but the only veterinary school in Texas is at Texas AM University in College Station, probably a couple of hours or more from Austin. I just wanted to clarify that in case someone reading the post tried to find one in Austin. University of Texas (in Austin) does not have a veterinary school (not yet anyway). :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ - Original Message From: glenda Goodman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 10:38:46 AM Subject: Re: Here is the link Tonya, I'm going to answer you directly on this, since you addressed me personally.

I was incredibly touched by Sherry's love and enthusiasim for her most adored little kitty Mystique. My heart just goes out to Sherry so much.

When I was told Mystique was only FIV+ I felt so happy and hopeful. When I was told she was mixing freely with FeLV+ kitties everyday, swapping saliva, etc. I panicked. Remember, I AM NOT A GAMBLER. I told Sherry my feelings, as gently as possible. I have so far in the short time I have been on this list, been told over and over again, that the FeLV vaccine is only 75% -90% effective...It used to be only 75%-85%, but there is talk, now, that there has been a slight improvement. My personal vets also tell me these #'s , so at least I feel I am as informed as anyone here. As for FIV+ kitties, I have researched thir disease too. I worked hard a couple months back to convince a couple people here, in my town, not to put their FIV+ kittens to sleep over this disease. I researched and studied for several days to learn all I could to back my argument. I learned #1 : that their immune system is compromised. I learned#2: that this disease is much easier to deal with than FeLV. I learned often kittens can throw this disease, if say, contracted through the mother. This disease is a piece of cake, compared to Felv. I also learned it is possible for a non- gambler like myself, to mix an FIV+ kitty with my disease free guys as long as the FIV+ guy does not tend to fight and bite...I also learned FIV+ guys can have a longer natural life than Felv+guys... Everyone, who has been here a while, has to know these same things ,but some here are willing to GAMBLE and some are NOT. I do not feel I can afford to risk any cat's life that is in my care by mixing a FeLV+ with my healthy group and if I happened to have an FIV+ kitty I would be even more paranoid to mix with a FelV+ kitty. If there is anyone here, that can tell me some SCIENTIFIC REASON, I am wrong in my opinion, PLEASE come back to me . I came here to learn. I appreciate the stories of how this person or that ,might have had a disease free cat live 20+ years among FeLV+ kitties and never contract the disease. This is where I get my hope. This makes me feel so happy, gives me strength...These stories are almost as helpful to my spirit as the actual scientific information I get here is helpful to my mind. I also, love just the emotional support here. I think these three things is what keeps most of us here? A sibling of mine, is a veterinarin. While researching which university to go to, came up with the opinion the three best schools in the country for veterinary medicine were as follows, University of Colorado, in Fort Collins, The University of California in Napa, and lastly,the the University right down there in Austin, Texas where Susan is. All very renowed in the world of veterinary medicine...I just realized that last night after reeling from something I read hateful here... Nobody here is without a clue and nobody here is stupid . I never heard anything of the sort said, until yesterday. UGH! All I can say is GOD BLESS everyone of you loving, dear people and let's all try to get along, learn from each other and appreciate our differences. The reason we are here, is for our cats first.

It's not a perfect world, and Sherry and Crash's Landing do so much good that I think you should calm down on the heavy judgements.
Re: Here is the link/vet school in austin
Glenda is no longer on the list. Yes, Austin has no veterinary school. Typically the land grant college in each state will have the vet school, the other one will not. Virginia Tech has a vet school, University of Virginia does not. Auburn has a vet school, University of Alabama does not. There are a few states that do not follow this pattern. Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Missouri. Not every state has a veterinary school - Maryland shares one with Virginia.

Re: Here is the link/vet school in austin
Land-grant universities (also called land-grant colleges or land grant institutions) are institutions of higher education in the United States that have been designated by the United States Congress to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. The Morrill Acts funded educational institutions by granting federally controlled land to the states. The mission of these institutions, as set forth in the 1862 Act, is to teach agriculture, military tactics, and the mechanic arts, not to the exclusion of classical studies, so that members of the working classes might obtain a practical college education. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land-grant_university On 9/30/07, wendy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hey kelley, interesting to know! what does 'land grant' mean? thanks, :) wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ - Original Message From: Kelley Saveika [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2007 9:05:51 AM Subject: Re: Here is the link/vet school in austin Glenda is no longer on the list.

Vanderbilt is a private school. The system in TN is sort of unique, I believe. We have the University of Tennessee system, which governs the UT schools: Knoxville, Chattanooga, Martin. We also have the Tennessee Board of Regents system that governs Tennessee State University (our other land grant school-Memphis I think), Austin Peay State University (middle TN-Clarksville), Middle Tennessee State University (Murfreesboro), East Tennessee State University (NE TN, Johnson City), and Tennessee Technological University (Middle TN- Crossville). ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
