I am so sorry but so glad he knew love before he left this world. He is very grateful to the man who rescued him, to the doctor and to you. His sister needs something warm and fuzzy to curl up by.

Mysterio Please add to the CLS
So sorry to hear of Mysterio going to the bridge - Mysterio will a fluffy cushion and be happy and healthy - I'll ask my angel Buddy and Angel Bramble to give Mysterio an angel kiss xxx
CLS
I'm sorry for not being knowledgeable of this, but what is CLS and the bridge you folks refer to? I've been busy trying to find some ray of hope for my BooBoo. I showed his blood work to the doc next door at work, who is a dog lover, not a cat but he interpreted it as being pretty bad. He said he has no platelets. He then got on the phone to a Vet friend who takes care of his dogs and gave him a brief history of Boo and his blood work. The vet said there was nothing I could do about the situation and that most cats after being diagnosed lived for 2 years at a max. I don't even know when BooBoo contracted the disease so who knows how long he has. This vet though kept saying, it doesn't mean he's going to die, whatever the H that means. I also have a pharmacist friend who is meeting with a vet friend of his in Detroit tomorrow and he too is running Boo's history by him to see if there is anything at all to help him. Apparently Immuno Regulin is not available here in Canada so he's going to talk to this man about it tomorrow. People have been very kind and honest but I just am finding this impossible to accept. I can't wait to get home from work to see him and almost start bawling when I am with him. I totally hate this. I just hope he isn't feeling any pain. He mostly sleeps but does purr a lot and seems to love having us around him. I just don't know what else to do. Lynne

RE: CLS
Dear Lynne, No one can say with certainty how long any of us are going to live. That includes BooBoo. My view is that, just as my FeLV colony were lucky to find me, BooBoo was very lucky to find you. His life has improved a hundredfold since he became part of your family. Whatever you do, please please please don't allow negative thoughts to dominate---BooBoo, plucky, lucky little soul that he is, sounds like he is happy and enjoying life. He needs you to be strong and happy, like him, and make the most of every day you have together. Remember, cats are so sensitive to their humans' mood---even more important that you be strong for him! Take each day as it comes, enjoy all the time you have together--life is short enough. Remember too there are people on the list who have FeLV cats that are a ripe old age. One of mine threw off the virus, as did Michelle's cat Minstrel just recently. Enjoy the time you have together. Did you contact Revival about sending Immuno Regulin to you? No go?

I'll let others address your specific questions but I'll put my two cents worth in. Look at homeopathic/alternative/complemtary vets, especially if conventional vets are not meeting your needs.

I had a perfectly wonderful and apparently very healthy cat leave this world with cancer. My little FeLV + girl has been with me 3 wonderful years and is apparently perfectly healthy. We never know what will take us from this world or when. Please spend wonderful time with BooBoo.time enjoying him and listening to him.

Re: CLS
Thanks Kerri for your kind words. I will contact Revival about the immuno regulin as soon as I get the ok from this vet in Detroit. Have other FelV cats on the group had anemia and next to no platelet counts? This is BooBoo's predicament. I did find out today that he will be 5 years old this July which suggests to me that he may have contracted this disease from a neighborhood cat. He would show up here in the summer with bloodied ears which Bob and I would put antibiotic ointment on. If that is the case I don't know how long he has. He has a bit of a runny nose which is why I think he snorts when he eats. I'm going to call the vet and see if this is an issue. In the meantime, I am going to try to be more positive around him.

RE: CLS
Someone on another cat list I'm on just lost a cat he says was FeLV+ and it was THIRTY years old! Now, I'm not too sure how well-versed he is on FeLV, and I'm thinking maybe he's mistaken in that. What he said was that the cat was infected with FeLV when a kitten and had to have both eyes removed. So I don't know if it was something else entirely that he THINKS is FeLV or maybe the kitten later threw the virus, or what. I'd LIKE to believe he's accurate, as I'm sure we all would! Diane R.

Re: CLS
Lynne Have you asked about interferon ??? If you can find a vet that will keep a big supply of it on hand in his freezer it isn't very expensive... I believe its made for humans but does help for many animals as well... Its has no taste and given orally... Some people mix it with food or because it has no taste, just like water, it is easily given by seringe if the cat isn't eating My vet talking with other vets on the internet says that most believe that the newer IR isn't any better than the old interferon which is much cheaper and easily given at home with little or no stress to the cat... Some people give it all the time.. I give it at the very 1st sign that there might be something wrong... It doesn't always work but there have been times when I think it may have saved my cat... At the very least it seems to improve the quality of life while looking for other things.

Re: CLS
I've done some reading about it Tad and it does sound like an alternative. I'm waiting til I have a response from the Vet in Detroit and then I'll start looking for a vet that will work with me. I'll see Boo's regular vet again and see what he's willing to do and if he isn't all that co-operative I'll contact this other vet in town. My present vet did say at our first meeting that as problems arise he'd address them but I'm not certain that's the way to address this disease. I definitely would prefer to be able to administer something at home that have to trott off to the vet twice a week.

Re: CLS ~ my cats lived LONG lives with FeLV
ok time for me to chime in again. Squeaky lived to age 22 and Stripes lived to age 16. They were both feline leuk positive. Stripes was sick on and off and Squeaky was healthy except his final 3 weeks. HOPE reigns! So little was known about FeLV at that time. I did NOTHING special for them (Squeaky died in 1996). All I did was love them and get Stripes to the vet when he was symptomatic. Laurie -
Re: CLS
Lynn, this is the story of the Rainbow Bridge: RainbowsBridge.com Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together Author unknown... Hope that answers your question about the Bridge.

Re: CLS
Lynne I think my cat (MeMe) feels so loved and cared for (she was thrown from a moving truck onto the shelter's front porch) for the first time in her life that she doesn't intend to check out anytime soon. We have 'bliss therapy sessions' which consists of lap time for loud, trilling purrs for 10 minutes at a clip. Cats have a 'mind, body' connection too. I am convinced that feeling loved and contented helps their immunity. If BooBoo has a good appetite and you can keep his symptoms at bay, he may be able turn his symptoms around. What if the vet told you that his blood work was perfect? Imagine that on the day they did the blood work it was awful, but since then it has changed for the better. You might try l-lycine sprinkled on his food to help him get over the runny nose. (a 250mg capsule 2x a day) I identify with the shock and depression you feel. Just know there are many exceptions to the statistics vets throw around. Try finding a good homeopath. AHVMA - American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association http:// www.holisticvetlist.com/ If you search the Canadian list, you might find a vet near you. BooBoo might surprise you.

Re: [PHISH]RE: Immuno-Regullin and exercise

I gradually gave him the shots less and less. Now he doesn't get them at all. Just thought I would let you know what my experience with it has been.

I usually find a hairball the next day and she is back on track eating again. As Lance suggested, watch carefully and make notes. I quickly forget which days things happen unless I make a note. I actually keep a notebook in the kitchen now for notes.

I just posted about our little guy coughing. I didn't believe the positive test at first and asked for more blood work and it's worse than I thought. Now every little thing I think is unusual I panic about, like this coughing. I just don't know how none of this concerned the previous owners. He's also becoming a ridiculously fussy eater. I've tried many different can foods and some hard foods and he just sticks his nose up. Fortunately our 19 year old pig-cat likes it all so it isn't totally wasted. It is all just such a drain on one.

Yes, he love to run around and play like a maniac - after all he is only 8 - 10 months old and really still a kitten. He seems to get out of breath and his breathing is a little raspy when he has been playing hard, but maybe that is something that is normal for any cat. Because of the FeLV I am just noticing things differently with him. Right now I have to decide what will help him most and what I can afford. I have already switched him to an all canned Wellness diet. The Immuno-Regulin sounds pretty expensive. I also have two boys in college that I have to think of also. Do you know how many cats actually ever end up eventually testing negative with this? I guess there is a part of me that is still in denial. He tested negative when my brother first rescued him, then he tested positive when he had the in-office test at the vet when I got him. They then gave him the

Hey Lynne, My name is Wendy. I've been active on this site for over 2 years now, although not as active lately. There are lots of good people here and it looks like you've been given some great advice. I just wanted to say a few things that came to mind as I read the posts regarding Boo Boo, some of which might have already been touched on. First, if you don't find a vet that will work to save Boo Boo, find one who will. It means all the difference in you and Boo Boo being supported at this trying time. Second, absolutely get the prescrip for doxycycline and treat for hemobartaenella regardless of the test. It's extremely difficult to see the parasites on a slide; one minute they're there, the next they're not. The treatment is three weeks minimum. Third, prednisone (or prednisolone) is a good treatment for anemia. Also, depending on how dire the anemia is, Epogen might also be good. There is lots of information on both of these treatments in the archives. Fourth, what is the anemia diagnosis? Is it regenerative or non-regenerative anemia? What is Boo Boo's HCT/RBC/PCV count exactly? If you don't have a copy of his bloodwork, call the vet and get it so that you know exactly what you're dealing with. You can post those numbers here and there will be people who know what they mean who can help you and Boo Boo. Please keep us posted on Boo Boo's progress and if you need anything at all, just ask! :) Wendy Dallas, TX Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ - Original Message From: Lynne [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 3:00:58 PM Subject: CLS I'm sorry for not being knowledgeable of this, but what is CLS and the bridge you folks refer to?

Something that may have already been addressed: Feed the absolute best you can...no grains if possible. Dixie eats organic and Primal Raw + finely chopped carrots, spinach etc. One of my holistic vets recommends vitamin C. There are lots of good supplements. Dr. Susan Maier at the Horizon Vet Services in Simpsonville Ky does phone consultations and has had good luck with FELV+. Dr. E A Boswell in Louisville Ky has also had good luck. I see both of them and think the world of them. They compliment and do not replace my regular vets. If you decide you need phone consultations I'll get you phone numbers or you can Google them.

Re: CLS
Hi Wendy I just saw on your last post that you are in Dallas - I'm in Denton. I just joined this group about a month ago after the loss of one of our babies to FeLV and now we are dealing with it in our almost 7 month old female manx. It's nice to know someone is near by - is there a particular vet that you would recommend in the area (or possibly/hopefully closer to Denton) ? The vet we used has not been extremely helpful or informative, simply because I don't think that they have seen many cases that have positive outcomes (their first advice for a symptomatic cat was to PTS) So far, she is asymptomatic - save for the occasional runny nose/eyes which I'm thinking is allergy related because it generally gets worse the same time MY allergies flare up. Anyway - best wishes Beth
Re: CLS
Hello everyone I haven't posted in a while ,but I have been reading everyday so I can keep up with what is happening . I just have to say that when I was a child I had a neighbor who had a calico girl who lived to be 30 years old. She was blind and deaf but till the day she died everyday she would follow him out to check the mail box on the curb . She was a celebrity around here and people would bring there children to see her. Her owner died two weeks after she past. He was 86 years old. I believe he died of a broken heart. I have to tell the new members (the older ones know my story) that I had one boy felv+ who lived 18 yrs and one girl felv+ 17 years. I've been very lucky to have several live to there teens, But I've also lost many young ones to this terrible illness. Recently I took my 15 year old boy Dooley to a new vet for some dental work . He had been diagnosed with felv when he was 3 years old. Well Dooley is now testing negative . Sometime over the years he threw off the virus. I was shocked and so happy . I was afraid to tell anyone until now I thought maybe something was wrong with the test. So I asked another vet friend of mine to test him again and was told he is negative. Never give up hope , enjoy everyday you have with your babies. They may out live you. Sheila in SC **The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Go to AOL Music.

Hill's A/D is a good tasting recovery food loaded with vitamins and minerals... I buy it by the case for my guys... You probably have to buy it from your vet but it could help...

Re: CLS
Hi Lynne I thought I sent you a couple links to check with for the IR one was in Canada. I think it could only be ordered by a vet. Goes by the name Equistim(big vial bc it for horses). Also looks like Revival would ship you would have to call them for specifics. Good luck.
