Yes she does do recommandations. She is the one who recomended 
me to Emergency over Rescue. I myself found better results with 
Emergency than Rescue. I found that the Em does alittle more 
for my cats than the rescue but that's my opinion.

She is not a vet but she does give flower essence advise. And 
most have worked for me. I find Sandi helpful and am very happy 
with her products and service.
I have been happy with her service and products for about 2yrs 
so I order from her online all the time.

Licking things that are not edible is a symptom called
'Pica' and is indicative of anemia.  Lethargy is also
a symptom of anemia.  Make sure your vet does a blood

   Hi Niki
   No need to apologize---ask as many Qs as you need
 to, and whenever they come to mind. We're all here
 to help you/each other!
   I had a chance to look at Frazier's book on
 feeding kittens, and she says that once weaned (as
 Ziggy is) a kitten can eat the same food formula
 you feed any healthy cat. She also says that this
 is definitely the time for an extra mineral vitamin
 supplement. Kittens need more of every nutrient to
 help their bodies manufacture strong muscles and
 bones.
   In her FELV section, where she gives detailed
 recommendations for diet, including giving Vita Min
 Mix, there is nothing in it about not giving to
 kittens. So I think it's safe to say Ziggy will
 benefit from it.
   Also, here's what she says about the possible
 outcomes after a negative cat comes into contact
 with a positive cat:
   The negative, but exposed cat may:
   ~~not become affected in any way;
   ~~become infected (positive), develop immunity,
 and revert again to being negative;
   ~~become positive, but not become ill and remain
 positive--thus becoming a new carrier of the virus;
   ~~become positive and develop lymphosarcoma,
 leukemia, or other cancer; or
   ~~become positive and be ill from the virus
 infection, much like flu; and then recover and
 remain positive or become negative.
   In my experience, your vet is exceptional in his
 attitude to FeLV cats--that's wonderful. Wish there
 were more like him.
   hope that helps, and big hugs to Ziggy!

   I have another question to ask - I apologize for
 asking so many questions but I just can not think of
 all of them at one time!  Since Ziggy tested pos for
 FeLV at such a young age would it be safe to
 assume he was born with it and is going to have it
 for the rest of his life?  I know two of his
 littermates have tested pos also but not sure about
 the third one (he was the only male and the others
 were all female).  I have to say that I am amazed by
 other members talking about their vets telling them
 to euthanize a FeLV pos cat.  I now feel blessed to
 have my vet as he poo-poo'd the idea of euthanasia
 right from the start (I was the one who had to bring
 it up when I got the test results - I was extremely
 nieve then and to think it was only one week ago!). 
 Although I am wondering if anyone has any idea if
 there is a vet who could be more knowledgeable about
 FeLV in the Phila suburban area - just as a
 precautionary measure.  Also, Ziggy only had the
 ELISA snap test done, should I have gotten the IFA
 test immediately after?  I have another appt on 6/30
 for Zig and am wondering if I should request it then
 or wait a few more weeks?  
 
   I am so happy to hear that all the other little
 angels are doing better!  As always you all are in

 everyone who is helping his mommy deal with this.

Hi Niki,
I know it's scary when our babies aren't feeling well. Try not to
panic. You're on top of it, your taking Ziggy to the vet today and
hopefully they'll figure out what is going on, treat it, and help him
get better very soon. I would suggest to your vet to take additional
blood samples at the same time. That way if the first test doesn't
indicate what the problem is, they won't have to draw blood a second
time. You might also ask the vet about prescribing Interferon A.
Whether it helps or not is not conclusive, but it always seemed to make
my kids feel better and it can't hurt. Lot's of people feel Transfer
Factor helps boost their immune systems too. I use the stress formula
when someone isn't feeling well.

It really is important for you to remain calm. Ziggy will pick up on
your dread and it will make the vet visit more difficult for him. Will
your vet allow you to stay with him when they draw blood or do whatever
tests they feel are necessary? Tell Ziggy what will be happening,
(imagine it in your mind as you convey with words what they will be
doing), reassure him that everyone will do their best to treat him
kindly and with dignity. That you are going to figure out what is
making him feel crummy and fix it! Grace had pica/anemia symptoms off
and on for a very long time. We never found out for sure what was
going on, my Internist treated for Hemobart, (blood parasites), with
Doxycycline even though the test was neg, (it's notorious for not
showing up). Grace always felt better after just a few days on that
particular abx. Since he's got diarrhea too, would it be possible to
bring a fresh stool sample in to the vet as well? Get as much of it as
you can, (put it in the fridge to keep it fresh).

My prayers are with you and Ziggy, let us know what the vet has to say
as soon as you can,
Nina

One more thing... If you do end up putting Ziggy on abx, add a
probiotics to his food at the same time. Health food stores carry them
and sometimes kitties will eat plain yogurt on a plate or mixed in

Anemia Support

2006-05-22 Thread Kitsnk9s



I'm new here and first wanted to offer my emotional and 
energetic support to those of you caring for FeLV+ kittens and cats. My 
suggestion to you, due to the constant worry and stress we as caregivers can 
feel in providing ongoing care to sick kitties, is to support yourself with 
Flower Essences: specifically, Alpine Mint Bush and Crowea. These are Australian 
Bush Flower Essences (ABFE) and not as easy to find as Bach, but I've been using 
the ABFE for over a year now and find them very effective. As someone else 
mentioned, I prefer the ABFE Emergency Essence most of the time over Bach RR for 
day-to-day stresses for my cats and dogs. I order mine from (NCI): 

http://www.earthspirits-herbals.com/Americart/AllEssences/AusBushFE/AustBushFE.htm

Now, on to more specific support for FeLV+ cats showing 
signs of anemia (pica, lethargy, with or without intermittent fever). While my 
first recommendation would be full Homeopathic support (which I believe will 
optimize the health of FeLV+ cats), there is also a good 'first aid' Homeopathic 
remedy for support in acute anemia: Ferrum phos (or Ferrum 
met).

Ferrum phos as a tissue/cell salt (low potency = 6X) is 
readily available through most health food stores; the brand most commonly seen 
is Hyland's. You can read a little more about Ferrum phos here 
(NCI):
http://www.1-800homeopathy.com/topics/cellsalts.html?productid=FEPH
This is not the same as giving iron supplements; rather, it 
stimulates the body (systems, tissues, etc) to utilize iron properly for 
oxygenation of blood cells.

I give Homeopathic remedies in 'aqueous dilution' meaning I 
prefer to dissolve the pellet in a 2 oz amber dropper bottle, and then give the 
doses in water that way. For anyone unfamiliar with Homeopathy and dosing this 
way, the following may help:
http://www.kitsnk9s.com/HLiquidDosing.htm

I hope this information helps your 
kitties.

In Peace  Harmony,

brought them inside, she cried and ran around the house looking for them at
first. But when she saw them in my foyer through the screen door she was
fine. She knew I had them. (They screamed like crazy for her but
she was fine with it.) Cutie-Pie was later trapped and spayed and then
returned to my backyard. She is an untouchable feral girl. Now she
is a plump plush little feral queen who presides over a colony of herself and 4
neutered feral boys. They live in my backyard and basement, are spoiled

about us doing something to the babies.. one time, I thought we should just
leave and have the mama take care of the babies and I worry that later on, she
might take babies some other crawl space near there (there a few, unfortunately),
and people might close the crawl space without knowing that they were there..
the mama came back several times (while we were there as we were there for
about 5 hours).. I felt very bad for mama but I decided to take the babies from
her..











I tried to trap the mama kitty last night
but I couldnt  there are several kitties there.. I trapped one
who looked like mama.. but she must be from mamas previous litter
 she is less than a year old..











Anyway, I wanted to ask you to pray that I
will be able to catch mama soon (I probably could, if I dont mind
catching all other kitties who live there.. but I dont know where I
could put them now as I am running out of crate) --- and the mama will stay safe
and she will not be worrying too much about their babies. I am heartbroken for
the mama I feel very badly for taking the babies from their mamaI
know that this is probably the right thing.. but I still cannot not think about
the mama

Did you see the other mix with the two babies?
Can anyone get any additional info? I cannot make long distance calls from

If its feasible to get them to Texas easier than to WA I will take the

She's well maintained on phenobarbitol (7.5 mg twice a day), spayed, fully vaccinnated, FIV/FeLV/toxoplasmosis negative. She just has seizures if not given pheno. Good with other cats, would probably do well with a cat-friendly dog, stubborn, fearless,defiant little girl.

new needing help

2006-05-22 Thread sgcox1
I'm new, so here goes.  I rescued 4 kittens born in my back yard by a stray who 
tested positive.  Now I guess I have 4 kittens in my possession who are also 
positive.  Is there any chance these kittens could end up negative after a few 
months?  Can they sometimes fend off this infection in some way?  I have 8 cats 
already, and trying to keep 4 kittens separated from them is almost impossible. 
 I thought you had one member who was from the Ky area(which I am, also).
I would love to hear from her regarding any possible sanctuaries, or 
great-souled people who might consider adding positives to their home.  Does 
anyone ever have any luck finding adopters?  I'm heartsick and soo 
desperate.
Please help.
