Hi,
We've had several FIV cats and they've all lived well into their teens. We
didn't even start to see any health problems until they were older. One of our
FIV cats is about 15 and she has only ever been to the vet for routine things.
The one thing I would suggest is that you feed a really
I was afraid it sounded like anemia. Did she test him for hemobart? Did she
say it was truly nonregenerative??

Any cat can be anemic. It's just much more serious for felv cats because it is
often nonregenerative. In my opinion IF I could afford it, and IF your cat
handles the stress of the vet ok, I would get the transfusion and see a
specialist. Buy some time, in other words.

I don't know why. I think most people just wait on both tests (at shelters)
until the kittens are old enough to combo test. I think you could give the
leukemia test at any age. Honestly, if I were taking in a new cat I would not
even test it as a requisite to taking it in at this point.

there are MANY MANY things about FIV that make it better than having
FeLV--join the yahoogroup FIVCats2 for accurate info.

Time now for a Western Blot test, that is the confirmation test for FIV.

still seems like it doesn't make sense--i know better than most that it
takes an adult cat 90 to 120 days to develop antigens after exposure, so why
then do so many articles say that you can test kittens at any age? why not
just SAY that a test result isn't valid in kittens before then? seems to
I would just keep doing whatever you're doing. Having fiv is one of the 'best'
things to have if you have to have a health problem and you're a cat.

Hey Tonya,
I lost my 18 yr. old Julie to hyperT/kidney failure in December. Instead of
trying to chase Shaft for oral meds, I would suggest trying the transdermal
Tapazole/Methimazole. I ordered Julie's through Pet Health Pharmacy online;
they are very reasonable compared to my vet/other
Funny you say this about the gerber (or BeechNut) baby food. Chicken and gravy
was Julie's favorite, and when she would not eat anything else, she scarfed
this stuff down!!! It saved her life several times when she stopped eating and
towards the end of her life, she lived on it, plus boiled
P.S. Julie also loved deli meat!!!

When Gus my SNAP tested once positive male, was not eating, just lying
around, but no major signs of illness. I feed him Gerber meat baby food
with KMR and lysine powder mixed in. He wolfed it down and got over what
appears to have been a viral URI of a mild nature. He is now back to his
old

Hey Terrie,
Hope this email finds you well and your mother doing well also. I'm sorry to
hear about her. This has been a tough year for a lot of us. I have done a
horrible job of keeping up with the list due to all that's gone on in my life
in the last year, and frankly, I'm just glad that
Debbie, I don't mean to be sarcastic but it really depends on the issues the
cat has or doesn't have. For my CRF kitty I am looking for the lowest
phosphorus food she'll eat. Cats with sensitive systems really need grain free
foods.
For most cats a high quality canned food is usually
my crf kitty, who was fed delicat from the time she was weaned at 4 weeks of
age (i rescued her at years old), and REFUSED to eat anything other than
that--she'd hold her nose and turn calico and BLUE before she'd eat anything
else, WOULD eat a home-made ground turkey diet, with hard-boiled eggs
