RE: Questions on Diet and Transfer Factor?
If they like Science Diet Kitten, they will love Wellness kitten-- trust me. I have fed both b/c Wellness is expensive. That is what I give my foster kittens who come to me sick and/or malnourished to really get them going and put on weight. Now that I have two that are no longer sick and have totally packed on the pounds (completely healthy now), I've been feeding those two S/D kitten wet to give myself a financial break (plus I was given a free pack of it, so I thought I'd put it to use). My 2 older cats eat wet Wellness adult. All cats love it. It's so good for them. You can tell the difference in quality and smell yourself if you open a can of S/D kitten and a can of Wellness kitten and compare them visually and by smelling-- the difference is noticeable. The Wellness is clearly all meat (no grains) and with very little gravy- yet cats still love it. It's not that S/D kitten wet is bad, it's just not as good as Wellness or any one of the other premium, GRAIN-FREE brands. If/when you are transitioning them to a new wet food, you should always mix the old food with new. There are specific protocols for doing this that are probably somewhere in the archives-- some people on this site know the measurements for old food to new food when switching, but I don't. I just do it loosely by starting with half and half (half old brand, half new) and then slowly decreasing the amount of old to new, until you are feeding all new. This is easier on their stomachs. Also, Eagle Pack Holistic has a powder additive that you add to their food specifically for assisting with the transitioning to new, premium, holistic brand food. I haven't tried it, but it's supposed to help. I use the additive for cats prone to stomach upset and diarrhea also made by Eagle Pack Holistic and I think it's just probiotics. It seems to help.

Hi Terrie It's my understanding that colds are not transmitted between cats and dogs. When I first got MeMe she had a terrible upper respiratory and was sneezing constantly. My dogs shared a water bowl and sometimes a bed with her and they were fine. Hope all is well with your kitties.

RE: OT:Question
Alright, I am not an expert, but here's what I have know/have learned: I think it depends on the cause of the URI-- which with cats, we know it can be many different things and usually, it's too expensive to actually run a culture and find out what is causing the URI (unless it's a chronically suffering cat having a significant amount of trouble and then the cost outweighs the need). In cats, it's usually feline herpes (a VIRUS) OR feline caliciVIRUS causing the URI (but not always). In general, viruses are not zoonotic (transmittable over different species). However, if the URI is caused by a BACTERIAL infection, then yes, possibly it is transmittable to a dog. Again, in general though, cats are more prone to URIs than dogs. I think dogs most common shelter-type, highly contagious disease is 'kennel cough.' Here are the 'general' rules: There are some zoonotic diseases that can be transmissible between cats, dogs, and humans, but they shouldn't cause upper respiratory diseases. Most are caused by internal parasite infections, such as giardia or tapeworms. Rabies, mange, and ringworm are other examples of zoonotic diseases. For cat and dog upper respiratory infections, however, the disease-causing agents are usually species-specific (hence the titles being FELINE herpes, etc., and your dog should not be able to catch the URI from a cat. If a dog seems to come down with a URI at the same time as a cat with a URI, (insert my lawyer-speak here), it's more likely than not that the dog may have actually caught it from another dog. Here's a quick reference for shelters found on the internet: http://www.animalsheltering.org/resource_library/magazine_articles/jan_feb_1997/controlling_upper_respiratory_infections_in_your_shelter.htmlOkay, again, I am no expert, but this is the information on the subject that I have found generally.Caroline From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 12:48:19 -0500Subject: OT:QuestionTo: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Hi guys, Can dogs and cats catch colds from each other?

Hi Kenzie Here is what I use for Junior. I sometimes I run out, but for the most part he gets: Wellness Transfer Factor 1 cap AM Manapol approx 1/2 teapAM l lysine 1 capAM and PM if he URI or runny eyes Colostrum PM Probiotics as needed for possible diarrhea when on antibiotics. I also gave him immunoregulin monthly subcutaneous but he has not received this for a couple months If you are using 4life Transfer Factor Then you could probably skip the Manopol as 4life contains mannans He has passed his 1 year mark. sally On Dec 5, 2007 9:18 AM, Kenzie Kanne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi- I was wondering what kind of diet everyone uses for their FELV positive cats and kittens.

Julie has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge
Hello everyone, It is with sadness I tell you that Julie's doctor and I helped Julie cross over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday afternoon. She was purring and happy when it happened and she passed peacefully. She was my beautiful 18.5 year old Maine Coon who lived a charmed life and was spoiled to no end. She was a very, very sweet kitty and was never aggressive to anyone or to any fellow animal ever. Her little body had just had it from the hyperT and CRF, and after this last week, I knew it was time. It was such a difficult decision to make though. Part of me felt like it was not my place to make that decision; after all I did not create her life. The other part knew that I could never let her suffer the way my Cricket did when he died from FeLV-related anemia. I knew it would be a matter of days for her and I wanted her to pass without suffering. I took off work to spend the day with her and she had a great day, even being as weak as she was. She enjoyed being outside in the sun; it was a beautiful day. I just want to thank everyone here for your help and encouragment with all my kitties and for being such great listeners.

She was purring and happy when it happened and she passed peacefully. She was my beautiful 18.5 year old Maine Coon who lived a charmed life and was spoiled to no end. She was a very, very sweet kitty and was never aggressive to anyone or to any fellow animal ever. Her little body had just had it from the hyperT and CRF, and after this last week, I knew it was time. It was such a difficult decision to make though. Part of me felt like it was not my place to make that decision; after all I did not create her life. The other part knew that I could never let her suffer the way my Cricket did when he died from FeLV-related anemia. I knew it would be a matter of days for her and I wanted her to pass without suffering. I took off work to spend the day with her and she had a great day, even being as weak as she was. She enjoyed being outside in the sun; it was a beautiful day. I just want to thank everyone here for your help and encouragment with all my kitties and for being such great listeners. You all are wonderful people. Sincerely, Wendy Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage. No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
