For what it's worth I just had Buzz, my FeLV cat neutered last Thursday. The
vet said the stress of neutering would be much less then the stress they go
though when they want to roam and mate. He came through it amazingly well,
even that evening I could hardly tell he had the procedure done.
Another thought: When Dixie was tested she was scheduled to be
spayed. The vets, whom it trust beyond words, recommended that she be
spayed at a later date when I had decided what to do with her and when
she was less stressed and healthier (better fed, supplements
whatever). The theory w
Charlie is on oral prednezone (?) and he only gets it when his athsma flares
up. He has been healthy almost a year now with both his athsma and his eyes.
His eyes were so bad at one point that they looked like bright red marbles in
his head and the specialist vet I was taking him to couldn't s
If he's healthy now, then do it. Feleuk cats are prone to cancers- a lot of
times, that is what gets them in the end, particularly lymphoscarcoma.
Lymphosarcoma is the most common form of cancer in cats and dogs- feleuk or
otherwise. But the incidence in Felv+ cats is even higher. This is w

I know we give Thuja on the day of any vaccinations to help the body deal with
that stress and the immune response. I have the dose at home and can't

rescue work. It's also given to any cat that had vaccs in the past
Ask the vet if you can be there. All he/she can say is no. A lot

them from the welfare of the cat.

May I ask you about your cat Tucker and having to have all his teeth removed.
My Bea is FeLV + I've been battling the same thing as Tucker - because of her
FeLV status, she can't fight the bacteria on her teeth. I've been doing almost
monthly courses of Clavamox/Prednisone. I've been brushi
Caroline,
What did your holistic vet say about remedies to give a cat under
going stress? I know Dr. Maier has a number she uses but I am out of
touch with them. They could help reduce the stress and reverse any
drugs given. I will never vaccinate Dixie given her status. She is

Oh, maybe that is what they meant Kerry. I'm just very sensitive and probably
over protective of him. I sometimes I think I aggravate him because I go and
check to see what he's doing every few minutes. He's sleeping on the stairs,
on his back with all four legs sticking up in the air. Bette
We just had Autumn spayed three weeks ago and there were no complications.
She has reacted badly to vaccinations in the past so we were very nervous,
but she came through with flying colors. The did a pre-op blood test for

Great idea re pre-op blood work, too.

I'm sure it's stable enough and I'm not so sure they're really proactive on
