Hi Everyone,It's been awhile since I have posted, but I've been keeping up. I have two FeLV cats and 2 that aren't. From information I have gathered here, I learned that I should isolate the non-FeLV cats ffom the positives. They've been mixed for almost two years now. I've also learned about
Bailey got epogen and his anemia was corrected, a transfusion would
buy you time until you can find a vet how is willing to work with you to
try and treat your baby, your vet is not doing his job in my opinion.
Just because a cat tests positive and gets sick is no reason to not try

I will ask my vet first thing tomorrow about the epogen and prednisolone. His blood levels are at 11%, very low. As a matter of a fact, I may call the emergency clinic today and see what they recommend. I don't know what else to do. He's only 2 years old this month. You are sure that these meds.

Thank you so much. THis makes me feel a little better. I'm taking him into the emergency clinic right now. I'm going to get him the transfusion and the medication. I'll keep you all posted.Thank you again.kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 09:38 AM 10/15/2006, you wrote:the transfusion
Please make sure they cross match the blood if at all possible.

You may want to go ahead with the transfusion to buy time, the
epogen can take up to three weeks to work. With Bailey my vet feels it
was mainly the prednisolone that helped with his anemia but we can't say
for sure since he was on both. Bailey started epogen when his HCT was
at 18%, it

It is also my understanding that the first ransfusion doe not need ot
be cross matched as Luna does not have antibodies from a prior

Hi Kris,
I'm so sorry
This news made my day!! I'm so pleased to hear that little sprite is
doing better! Hooray, hooray! The two of you have been on my mind and
it's such a relief to hear how well she's doing.
If I were you, I'd go ahead and tell my vet that I got a hold of some
Prednisolone and KNOW for a fact

Hi Everyone,
It's still difficult for me to write about Spencer... I'm still so raw
and depleted from the whole experience, but I wanted you to know that I
read and appreciated all of your heartfelt posts about him. Thank you
so very much for making such an emotional time easier to bear. I
Hello, I need some medical advice for my Tsunade. Does anyone know where
to get digest- a-meal made by infinity? My cat sometimes throws up her

Also I would like an immune system booster I have read about these being

Adding
omega oils to the diet is supposed to help stop shedding. Fish oil, which you
can get in capsules at the health food store, would work. My cats like salmon
oil sqeezed from capsules into their food (just a few
drops).
Vomiting just after eating is often a sign of hairballs.
Thanks, Nina. Of course, as I feared, right after writing that she is
a bit worse today. Went twice, had a little blood on it, eating less, and
going after Patches a lot. I think I may have forgotten her pred dose last night
though (will beat myself with wet noodle if I can confirm that),
I would try Acemannan shots. At least one person, and I think actually two,
on this list, have had acemannan shots completely turn around serious anemia in
positive cats. If it is an immune weakness thing and not cancer (or maybe
even if it is cancer?) it sounds like something that has a

I am so, so, so sorry. Did he die during the transfusion? It's ok if

Oh Kris, I'm so sorry. Of course you feel awful, poor little Angel. I
hope you can take some comfort in knowing that little Luna was blessed
in finding someone to love him and care about him enough to try so hard
to save him. It's not the length of time we spend together that
determines the

Hi Nina,Tristan came home with me last Saturday and is doing great.He swatted at the other boys a little but nothing major now they play and groom each other.He is such a cuddler,he likes sitting in my lap while I am on the computer and he wakes me up in the middle of the night just to say Hi. :)

of dreading certain subject lines brought the memory of similar pangs
experienced for other's fur kids when reading the list. Sometimes this

Hi Nina,
I just read your posts about Spencer. I am so sorry
to hear that you had to let him go. He sounds like
such a miraculous kitty, the way he reached out to you
before he passed on. It sounds to me like he was
trying to comfort you before he left. Bless you for
doing all the wonderful

I am so sorry and understand your dilemma. I still question the decision I
made about one of my cats. I think you will know in your heart when the
time is right.

Thank you. It's been hours, and I still have my other cats, but I still can't find peace within myself. I know he's probably content now; he's not in pain and he's not suffering. But I'm grieving so terribly bad. I can't stop. It has not been like this for my other kitties. I don't mean I didn't

My name is Wendy. I just finished reading all your
posts on little Luna. I teared up reading your words.
It brought back fresh memories of losing my precious
