Hey Jane,
   
  She had one uri when she was around 2, but that's all.  I don't do anything 
special for her.  I just watch her carefully.  She overgrooms and I've had no 
luck getting her to stop that.

Hey Tonya,

I'm sorry I have been so late in answering your post. 
I am too darn busy right now for my own good!

No, the dog does not chase the other dogs or the cats.
 Her ears kind of perk up when she sees the cats run
by, but that's it.  She's VERY docile, but does play
with our other puppy, who's about a year and a half
now.  He's an Akita mix.  We also thought our female
Akita mix would not get along with her, but the three
seem to get along fine surprisingly.  She's just so
quiet right now.  All she wants to do is sleep when we
let her in.  She sleeps so hard, she snores.  I think
she went through hell before we found her, because of
the way she acts.  When my husband walks her though,
she's great.  Better than the other two troublemakers.
 lol.  We need to take her to the vet to get her
fixed, but have just not had the money.  We plan on
taking her in the next three weeks, or sooner if by
some magical chance, a few hundred dollars drops into
our laps.  I can send out some pics to anyone who's
interested in seeing her and maybe you guys can tell
me if you think she's a pit bull.  I think she looks a
lot like a Staffordshire (sp?) pit.

  Hi Tonya. I'll try to make this whole thing clearer for you.

I had a roommate who brought Ellie with her when she moved in. Kim, my
roommate, said she'd been tested for disease but she hadn't been. When she
finally had her tested, Ellie tested postive. By that time, all of my cats
had been exposed to Ellie and Oreo had a lot of direct contact with Ellie.
So I took all 5 of my cats in to be tested on 6/1/06 and only Oreo tested
positive, a light positive. On 6/23/06, Oreo had an IFA that was negative,
just 22 days later. I had Ellie and Oreo retested this past Friday,
10/13/06. Am anxious to get the results back on Wednesday or Thursday. My
vet said this test will be definitive and I can trust these results. I only
hope they're negative.

Re: TO TONYA re: timing on FeLV+ test

2006-10-16 Thread Kathi Clark

Hi Tonya.  I'll try to make this whole thing clearer for you.

I had a roommate who brought Ellie with her when she moved in.  Kim, my 
roommate, said she'd been tested for disease but she hadn't been.  When she 
finally had her tested, Ellie tested postive.  By that time, all of my cats 
had been exposed to Ellie and Oreo had a lot of direct contact with Ellie.  
So I took all 5 of my cats in to be tested on 6/1/06 and only Oreo tested 
positive, a light positive.  On 6/23/06, Oreo had an IFA that was negative, 
just 22 days later.  I had Ellie and Oreo retested this past Friday, 
10/13/06.  Am anxious to get the results back on Wednesday or Thursday.  My 
vet said this test will be definitive and I can trust these results.  I only

I'm sorry.  I just don't understand.  Are you saying Ellie was always 
positive.  She gave it to Oreo and he tested positive, but now he's 
negative?  I don't know if your vet knows what he's doing.  If he tested 
positive on Elissa and then tested negative a month later I take that as a 
negative.  Others on the list know more about this.  How and when was Ellie 
tested, and how do you know that Oreo was negative and caught it from her?  
I guess I missed your first post.  It just doesn't really happen that a 
negative catches felv from a positive and tests positive and then tests 
negative and would then 'catch' it again.  I guess it could happen, but I 
have never heard of anything like this.

  Sorry I'm getting back with you just now.

Oreo did get it from Ellie. Oreo was given an IFA test just a month after
testing positive on the ELISSA. I understand this vet gave the IFA way too
soon, that perhaps the virus didn't have time to even get into the bone
marrow. I've been told by another vet that he could still have it because
he was re-tested way too soon with the IFA.

Wow!  I am surprised you don't have any unions!  I
went on the AFT website, and sure enough, Georgia does
not have an affiliation.  43 states do however. 
Sounds like you guys need a bit of a change in
Georgia!!!  We have several different ones here in
Texas, and we are almost as far south as you can get! 
Is this something legislated in Georgia?  I hope your
year goes smoothly.  Here's to teacher happy hour when
you really need it.  LOLOLOL.

Thanks Wendy.  We're very slowly getting used to Popeye not being around.  He was always underfoot.  Yes, it's true about the politics.  And I teach in Georgia where there are NO teacher unions.  That's why we can be treated however the principal wants to treat us.  She is new, and I hope there won't be any more incidents ughhh.     t
