Bandy was getting transdermal oxazepam for appetite stimulant..It worked great even when he had a fever..He could get it up to 3 times a day...I also have Inky (20 yr. old) on it when he doesn't eat well..There haven't been any ill effects with this..It works great for Inky, too.

Re: How do yall do it?
If your own cats vaccinations have ever been given... even if they're not utd I would not worry about them catching the felv. Also, the cats have already been together 2 months. Anyone who would get it would have got it by now. Many of us were in your situation when we realized we had a positive. They had already mixed for a period of months. I don't know of anyone who had a problem whose cats had been previously vaccinated. The only problem I know of was when someone had never had their cats felv vaccinated ever. good luck with these guys. It sounds like your guys may be showing up positive right now from exposure, but could still grow and throw off the virus. tonya Barbara Oberst [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have 5 of my own cats, plus 4 strays we're fostering. In October, 1 of the fosters tested a faint positive for FeLv. The others tested negative; I just had them retested last week; now 2 more are a faint positive, too. The scary thing is, we were told (not by a vet) that the adoption agency doesn't normally retest negative cats, and those that tested negative could live with my other cats--now I'm worried all of my cats will get it, as some of my own cats were not current on the FeLv vaccine, as they've been exposed to them for over 2 months. Most people, including my family, think my husband and I are crazy for taking in strays, especially now this has happened (my own mother now is implying a sort of, Serves you right when I talk to her). But, how could we have left those poor 5 month old kittens to die? They were living in a storage shed, and they were being cared for by the employees; but some of them abused the cats. We still think we did the right thing, despite what's happened. We do it because we love cats, and have been accused of being too soft-hearted (I've been called worse things!). I'd rather err on the side of kindness, if I had to go to an extreme. Dianne K Perry, Ph.D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you for this.

I'm so sorry for your loss Kerry. It must be hard to lose her so close to losing Bandy. 15 is a nice long life, although forever is never long enough when we lose someone we love! My condolences go out to you... Phaewryn

transferring felv
I've been on the list a long time and I don't remember anyone who had someone they knew was negative, and was vaccinated, turn positive. Now it has happened that the initial test was negative and they turned up positive later, but I believe it was because they had been exposed and the virus was not yet in the system long enough for a positive test. (Like animals testing negative right out of an animal shelter. Those animals should be retested later to be sure they were really negative after being in that situation.) t [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: actually, I think someone on this list had one who was vaccinated but turned positive. And I am pretty sure that the shelter where my cats came from, at which some of the positives live with negative ferals who are vaccinated, a few of the ferals have turned positive over the years. Michelle In a message dated 12/26/2006 2:27:02 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: while the vaccine is said to be only 85% effective, no one that we can find can show a documented case of a truly negative, vaccinated cat ever contracting FeLV from living closely with a positive. which makes sense, since they say that up to 70% of healthy ADULT cats who are not vaccinated can be exposed and throw the virus off. so some of us question that 85% rate, and wonder if it's not across all populations, including the high-risk ones.

Junior
Hi It seems like it is one setback after another with Junior. He got his immuno regulin shot and for now is done with that. He is being treated for the eye infection. He hates that of course. He drooled terrible when I used the Atropine sulfate in his eye. I think he licked some off. His vision must be pretty bad right now he did seem disoriented. My big concern and of course it is the weekend. He seems to be having bathroom issues. He went in several times and I don't think he did anything. He also went in and cried out. He came right back out. Later he went back and cried again, but he did urinate a small amount. Could this be in response to his new meds. He proceeded to drink water after the last episode. I have to work tomorrow(Sunday). I am hoping this is minor. I really can't take him to the emergency clinic. Any ideas what I can do in the mean time?

Re: Junior
Could it be constipation? Seen any poos in the box? If not, give him some canned pumpkin. You don't happen to have any lactulose laying around by chance? Pumpkin will be the next best thing that you can just run to the grocery and get tonight. I'd do it now, the sooner the better. Antibiotics can kill the good gut flora.. so if you have any probiotics, give him those too.. or plain yogurt (make sure it says it has live active bacteria on the label). If he hasn't moved his bowels in 3 days, it's considered an emergency, and you should get him to the vet first thing Monday. If he can't pee, you should take him within 24 hours, but you said he did pass a little pee. Phaewryn http://ucat.us The easy way out has a bad reputation. Why would anyone take the hard way out?

RE: Junior
I gave Junior some probiotics that you sent me. I cleaned out the litter boxes earlier today, so I cannot verify if he has pooed. I brought his box back into my bedroom so I can monitor the situation. He does not seem in distress at this time other than me giving him the dreaded eye ointments. I will try to get some pumpkin before I go to work. Or I could just cook the one sitting on my deck. I let you know how it goes.

Pilling made easy
Believe it or nota few days ago my cat friend was shown by our vet a simple solution for difficult cats, They have a clamp,,,sort of like a clothes pin and the just grab some fur like scuffing a cat and the can lays down completely submissive,,, She said the clothes pind works just as well, Well being a skeptic a took one of my plastic clothes pins and went around to several cats,, It works No fight,, no claws,,they just lie down and even roll on their sides,,,I guess it is that Mama's got me instinct,,, Kelly www.kellyscats.zoomshare.com
