Re: Our Beautiful Salome'
omg I just relived the pain of losing my Baby C all over again. I cant stop crying. I share your pain and pray that God heals your heart
Re: I'M BACK
Jenn I would be very interested in hearing about that. You can never learn too much. Stools are ALWAYS a issue with cats The first two Katrina kittens had bright green and I mean green poop. My vet put them on flagyl and Zithromax. Second set of kittens well that's another set of problems all together
Re: I'M BACK
Tonya ! Hello. I am having a amazing adoption summer. Not one cat testing positive for Fiv or Felv. I dont know however how many more I can take that survived the hurricane. The toxins in the systems of these poor babies is amazing.

Home testing? when to test
I think I was told 90 days. Since I was last on the list tests have become available you can do your self. I would like the expert opinions on this from you guys. My vet charges 30.00 for the combo test this would save me 15.00 per cat.
Re: Skin Problem
I use lysine for skin problems along with the omega 3 fatty acids. its worth a try. Karen
DR. Pitcairn's book
I am sorry I just recently got back on the list. is this a book about Felv? What is the name of it I would like to purchase it. Regards, Karen see our available orphans at:http://members.petfinder.org/~TX418/index.htmlKaren 817-453-4888
Home Testing
Have you guys heard anything good or bad about the snap tests you can do at home? Karen
Re: Skin Problem

Re: DR. Pitcairn's book

Re: Home Testing

Herpes virus in the eyes.
Hello list. I have been gone a long time. Since my baby c and nitro and phantom passed. But you guys are the smartest people I know. And I need your help. I have two kittens that have not been tested yet...they are katrina kittens. Whisper and willow They had rhino, chlamydia. ringworm earmites and both had very bad infection in the eyes. after weeks of treatment everything is healed but one eye. My vet has given up. But if I remember from back in the day...didn't we used to put the interferon in the eyes? Nitro...my felv siamese had it cured that way. but I am trying to think doesn't it have to be mixed a certain way Do most of you still buy it from island pharmacy? any help you can give this tired rescue lady I would appreciate it. I just want to make sure that I explore every option before removing the eye God Bless Karen
Re: Herpes virus in the eyes.
I think it was pamor Jamie this list knows more than most vets. I asked my vet and he looked at me with very strange lookshe is in shock they are aliveZithromax is my new best friend.
Re: Herpes virus in the eyes.
NO patti that was a big help. At least I feel confident they are on the right antibiotics. they get lysine in the food too. Terri if you remember jamies or Pam's email address I would appreciate it . I will dig through the archives. must be 2000 or 2001. I am running out of time she seems like she is getting in more pain.
Re: Herpes virus in the eyes.
they get lysine zithromax and the triple opthalmic since well the hurricane hit.
Re: Herpes virus in the eyes.
oh boyI am beginning to hate the name Katrina. I will do what ever it takes...
Re: OT: questions re: New Orleans kitties
Bonnie, The experience I have had with new orleans cats and kittens has been pretty frightening. The URI's they had were very serious. adults and kittens here went straight to zithromax. The Loose stools we have seen have been from coccidia, giardia and also from toxin found in the water down there. of course there may be some worms thrown in and STRESS. Some kittens had a very very foul smell their toxin level was so high it was being released through the skin...you could bath them and the smell would be back in a few hours. do you have metronidazole on hand? a lot also depends on how long it will be till they see a vet.
Re: Herpes virus in the eyes.
yes yes yes I knew itGloria you are wonderful ! Do you remember anything else? I dont remember any Tally.
Re: Herpes virus in the eyes.
Gloria, so I dont need to have it mixed a certain way? Do you remember?
Re: Need encouragement, PLEASE
Oh patti, my heart breaks for you. That decision is yours and yours alone. In the area I live in Texas I would trap her again if I were you.we have lots of coyotes. with you she has care and can live much longer. But do what feels right in your heart. Karen
Re: wormers--- coccidia
I have switched from albon to baycox for coccidia. treat once repeat in 5 days much better. firmer stools in 24 hours. I get a lot of coccidia from the pounds
Re: wormers--- coccidia
Its Karen Baycox was developed for pigeons...but I really appreciate the warning. Rescue is s hard when they are on 10 day albon and sometimes by time I get them (from the pound) they have had it so long its past dangerous. I have the doses down and havent had any problems yet...
Re: Baycox vs Baytril - my bad!
o cool. I used baytril on dogsnever used it on cats.
Re: wormers
the best think for Giardia is panacurnothing else has ever worked for me panacur can be VERY dangerous unless the cat is in the best of health. Karen
Re: wormers--- coccidia
patti, I have petsmart today and I am running late but I will get you the info and email it to the list. I am very impressed with this stuff we get it from bird supply company. As you know when doing rescue its so hard to shove stuff down cats mouths every day so twice in 10 days is much easier. I have had some people tell me mild cases are cured in one dose
update on Katrina kitten with eye herpes
Hey, I thought I would give you an update on the Katrina kitten with the herpes in the eyes. She had her check up today and so far the vet says she is in no pain and as of right now the eye does not have to be removed. In one month she will be spayed and if it needs to be removed he will do it then
Re: update on Katrina kitten with eye herpes

Re: A few questions
Gary, are you having fecals done? I rescue from the pounds and see that all the time. For URI zithromax is my best friend. The biggest killer of all time getting kittens in the pound is parasites.which can lead to uri from lower immune system. I just lost my little casper. we spent a fortune at the vet and couldn't save her. she was 5-6 weeks solid white.11:00 PM she was in her cage eating and screaming to get out. 4am the next day. 29 hours later she was dead. she stopped eating gums went white...we did sub q vet gave her antibiotic shots and anything else we could think of. She had been given baycox and that didn't work she was on her 5th day of albon and clavamox. Belinda can you add her to the candle light list. she wasn't positive we know of but she died in my armsloved. see our available orphans at:http://members.petfinder.org/~TX418/index.htmlKaren 817-453-4888
Re: A few questions
Thanks for that post. Rescue little ones from the pound I lose too may. feral kittens trapped are much healthier...its sad. Please pray that my little casper found Baby C my positive. Baby C was my very first rescue and very first positive. After kitten season is over I will be looking for a positive to give a forever home. Karen
Re: A few questions
ps you must think I am crazy I meant I hope she found baby C at the bridge

Hey I am looking for Vit C , Lysine and anything else I can find in a powder form I am way tired of crushing pills.
Re: DR Pitcairn book....I'm confused I need help fast...
its uriwhat is meant by pallets?
still confused.....why do I bother giving shots
Patti, nope still confused and ticked off. Do I waste my money giving shots Two adult cats that are fully vetted have come down with symptoms. to top it all off it was in the 90's the other day now we have lows of 40. Nux Vomica? ok I got Rhino for sure. pulled from the pound and been on zithromax 10days now my two adult cats are showing symptoms. The kittens were in cages with covers over them. Tissue salts? what are those? where do you see doseages. I am doing vit c lysine b complex ecchansia with golden seal.
Re: DR Pitcairn book....I'm confused I need help fast...

Re: Question about IFA Test Results
Hey guys I have been off the list for what two or three years now...I want to say that I am seeing so many more over coming the virus to negative. Back in the day it was very rare at times I thought some people might have made it up or the tests were not accurate. What do you contribute the success to?

Re: Patches coughing, Lucy needs surgery
Sorry Michelle I thought some one might be selling it?

fever....how to break
ok I know I have been out of rescue for quite a while I have a adult negative cat with viral uri who has seen two vets in the past 48 hours and just busted out with a high fever 104 and dehydration.sub Q now while typing but what do you suggest to break the fever ? anyone? see our available orphans at:http://members.petfinder.org/~TX418/index.htmlKaren 817-453-4888
Re: fever....how to break
ok and what herbs are you giving for fever. The sub q breaks the fever but goes up again till about 103.5 which is not that bad. I wasn't using antibiotics but I got real scared of losing her at one point and the vet said to start clavamox even though it was viral cause she didn't want secondary infection setting in. She is still not eating I may have to resort to liver shake. its been about 3 days in this condition
Re: fever....how to break
She is a very high strung PB siamese rescue cat. She is being syringe fed and would fight it if she was strong enough. She was very healthy tested neg on both fully vetted and had run of my bedroom not caged. but no not affectionate. Loves any kittens and the pups too
Re: fever....how to break
tested for both...negative very strange. every cat I took to petsmart that weekend got it but Bianca's experience is near death the other got sniffles and watery eyes.
Re: fever....how to break
tired the nutra cal...tried baby food and canned mackrel
Re: fever....how to break
My vet finally mixed the interferon and will be getting it tomorrow.
Re: fever....how to break
6 months? only a highly contagious uri that could damage a rescue severly. of course she and the kittens is isolated but nothing leaves or comes in till its over. so I am basiclly shut down
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Cats that have had URI often bust out in ringworm...welcome to my world.Its from the lowered immune system. I use blue start ointment and it never fails you can get it in any pharmacy. Or in real bad cases I take them to the vet and he gives them a liquiddon't know what it is though works every time. its contagious to humans and to other animals so careful when handling them. BTW the interferon on my URI negative kittens has made all the difference in the world.
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Yes, I do rescue. And any cat or dog that has lowered immune system can bust out in ringworm. Yes its now a practice here that any cat or kitten neg or positive gets interferon with URI. I have viral URI going around in all the pounds. And I darn near lost a mom with 4 week olds but the interferon and support therapy is pulling them through. Try it it works
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Yeah use a black light..that's how you can tell for sure.
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
No ringworm wont make them any sicker its just a pain to get rid of and it could take a couple of months for the hair to grow back
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Some times kittens getting over ringworm dont make adoption for a long time cause its unsighly...we just wait till the fur grows completely back see our available orphans at:http://members.petfinder.org/~TX418/index.htmlKaren 817-453-4888
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
The URI and probably stress caused the low immune system. Yes I use Alpha he mixes it for adults and then for kittens I have never had any side effects with Negatives or positives. I am positive it is what is making the difference here. They seem to bounce back faster and better. see our available orphans at:http://members.petfinder.org/~TX418/index.htmlKaren 817-453-4888
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Pretty trueits hard to say. I have had very healthy dogs catch it.
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Yes I got it from my vet this time he charges a arm and a leg but I usually get it from Island Pharmacy with a perscription. http://www.islandpharmacy.com/ unless you guys found a cheaper place since I have been gone?
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
I got mine at walmart.
Re: Ringworm
I have had cats sleep in bed with me and never caught it. My oldest daughter 22 years old we use as the ringworm tester if she is in the same room she catches it !
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Del.Blue Star ointmentbeing using it for 10 years. You can get it at any pharmacy. like any rescue I get it. but the blue star has always worked for me. 5.00 a jar
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
once per day.never seen it fail
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
DO NOT USE TEA TREE OIL ON CATS
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Yes my Katrina kittens were 7 weeks old. Ringworm, earmites, Rhino and chlymedia I used blue star on both.Whisper has since been adopted. I have a 6 week old here now from the pound with URI he gets both interferon and blue star it cleared up after one week.

Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
Guys, I tried all the lastest from revival with ringworm...nothing works like the old fashioned stuff. Blue star. its thick and prevents it from spreading. it smells bad and they dont lick it.
Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens
My daughter really suffers cuase she is allergic to the blue star too so she uses iodine and benedryl for the itch

Re: Mixing
Carrie, I understand your fear and frustration I think you even heard me quit one or twice this year Girl you are the best bottle feeder I have ever known and a awesome rescuer, Mom and friend. The world of homeless kitty's would suffer without you. Take a break if you need to call me if you need any help what so ever. Your charges may be in a SLIGHT bit of danger now but what kind of danger would they be in if they were with a collector, kill shelter or out on the street. Call me if you need to talk Karen PS got a situation in garland with 15 cats and 20 with a very elderly lady in Irving. THEY are in danger. Carrie let me know if you know anyone with room.
Re: Mixing
Ok Carrie lets not panic get the mega c and the interferon lets see if we can get them to through the virus. retest on the ifa in 120 days Karen
Re: Mixing
because of the other two positive maybe maybe not. treat him with the meds retest in 120 days if that is negative then I would accept that. could have been a false elisa positive or it could be he was exposed and now tryng to rid himslelf of it. retest in 90-120 days of the meds and immune boosters
