[Felvtalk] Supplements for Grrr
Thanks for all the ideas and advice. I had thought of kitten food but thought it best to steer clear for the reasons mentioned- concern about kidney function- as we are already worried about that. The dang cat eats just FINE- he eats like a horse, and is easily eating twice what the other two are, maybe combined. I'm wary of getting into another bought of testing to determine why he's eating so much and still wasting away- see my previous thread. Very hard to do lots of intensive vet work with this cat. I'm going to try baby food as I think we'll be able to add it to his 'normal' rations without issue. He's still king of the roost- hardly has to look at the other two and they scatter to the wind. I think baby food will be viscous enough for him to nosh in one go with the dry. We have also begun giving him bits of chicken throughout the day- if he didn't think he was special before.. well, now his crown is almost visible.

[Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm?
Dear all, Just received this from my vet's clinic. My first instinct is no, but I would welcome your thoughts on the necessity for "all-year-round Revolution"? Thanks! Kerry M. Feline Heartworm Update: Dear Pet Owner, April 2009 A new study from Auburn University has indicated that heartworm disease in cats is a far bigger issue than previously thought. Cats can get heartworm infection through the simple bite of an infected mosquito. Studies have shown: Indoor cats are just as susceptible to infection when mosquitoes enter our home. Once bitten, immature heartworms are transmitted and the heartworm lifecycle begins. The larval worms then start their journey through the body, ultimately affecting the heart, blood vessels and lungs. A cat's body is designed to respond and kill foreign invaders, including heartworm larvae before they develop into adults. As the cat's body responds, the intense inflammatory reaction causes severe damage to the lung tissue. This disease state is clinically recognized as Heartworm Associated Respiratory Disease or H.A.R.D. Once this damage to the lung tissue occurs, it is not reversible and there is no treatment to remove the adult heartworms from a cat. With this new information we are now recommending ALL CATS be put on Revolution year round. Revolution is a broad spectrum parasiticide that in addition to preventing heartworm also prevents intestinal parasites, ear mites and fleas. Please contact us if you would like to discuss prevention for your cat. Sincerely, The Doctors and Staff at Roscoe Village Animal Hospital ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm?
Kerry, when I was MUCH younger, vets would tell you that cats couldn't get heartworms...but I have seen for myself that it is possible. I have not used Revolution, but the spay/neuter clinic routinely uses it for every animal they put under for sedation. I do keep my cats on Frontline and Advantage...wouldn't that kill any mosquito borne parasite as well? Curious kittens arecurious.

I don't know what part of the country you live in, but have been using year round Revolution for years. We have mosquitos year round and one heartworm can kill a cat. There is also no cure once they get them. I rather like Revolution, it helps with ear mites, roundworms, hookworms, fleas, etc. On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Kerry MacKenzie wrote: > Dear all, > Just received this from my vet's clinic.

Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm
Hi Kerry, One of my cats (FeLV-) was diagnosed with asthma about a year ago. The symptoms for asthma and heartworm are similar, I guess, but the vet was confident it was not heartworm (she did not test for that, but did a couple of tests for asthma), and Horus responded beautifully to Flovent, so we are sure it was not heartworm. The vet told us that it is more prevalent in the South and other warmer climates. I bought heartworm meds for my dog recently (while my cats were having their tests) and no recommendation was made for putting any of the cats on any heartworm preventative. I don't know where you live, but it seems that in the Northeast at least it is not as much of a concern for cats as it for dogs. If you live in a warmer climate or travel to warmer climates with your cat(s), then it may be a good idea. Hope this is helpful!

Re: [Felvtalk] Exposure time/retesting
Onyx tested positive on both Elisa and IFA (two days apart) 75 days after Cinder died (the other two negative). When should I retest?

None of them would eat the canned food I put the Viralys in, so I tried putting it on their dry food and they all eat it that way.

ok everyone, been in shop, had a bug and just now deleted 400 unwanted messages. now working on important ones (250). please be patient if i answer things our of order and out of date. also just got another furbaby. she showed up around 5 days ago, looking pitiful, only a 3" tail, long haired torty and the most loveable baby you ever saw. bad weather was moving in and i was going back and forth to hospital 60 miles away for my Mary (she had 2 strokes close together) and picking up her mom so she could see her, calling her clients (she is beauty operator) and in general keeping the Silex grape vine informed so took her to my vet and he checked her out and boarded her for 4 days since i could not bring her in with my babies until i knew if she was okay. well, she has felv, a slight urinary infection. but her tail is doing well. he thinks a coyote or something made a grab for her and bit her tail off. she is so sweet, i can't imagine why someone would toss her out to fend for herself. well, she is working in with the others nicely. no one has killed anyone yet. QUESTION, SHE IS OBVIOUSLY IN HEAT. vet says can't do anything until out of heat. i almost have to spay her or she will never be able to go out for fear of having kittens. he said most likely if she had kittens, they would be felv + also. i think i remember conversation of subject of spaying pos kitties. we think she is around 3 years.

Re: [Felvtalk] CLS - Angel Kathy - Non FELV
I know you have already told her so, but please tell her for me that it was not her fault. so many would not have kept a kitten with so many problems. she would have been put to sleep. she kept her, did everything she could to make her life a pleasant one and goodness sake, she lived 13 years. your friend has nothing to blame herself for. some people don't even do that much for their own children and she did it for a cat. dorlis Kelley Saveika wrote: > Kathy is one of my friends' kitties.

Re: [Felvtalk] patience
Some vets will spay a cat in heat. Greater risk of bleeding is what I have been told. Those who will spay said it's not a risk, just that some vets don't want to deal with a messier spay. I would always have her spayed rather than risk her becoming pregnant. We have always spayed FeLV+ cats during a time when they are asymptomatic. I am sorry I don't know if being in heat is a contra indication for spaying an FeLV+ cat. >From www.catsplay.com "One entire heat or estrous cycle, which consists of estrus and diestrus together, lasts roughly from 18 to 24 days. Estrus itself, the phase in which cats act a little crazy and are receptive to being mated, lasts approximately four to 10 days. If not mated or spayed, a female cat will continually cycle into and out of estrus during the entire breeding season. This is not especially good for a cat's health, as the physical demands of estrus can be quite upsetting. It's not so good for your sanity, either!"

Re: [Felvtalk] Feeling Guilty
hello, i think i know what you feel. i swore that 5 was my limit, no more and just this week i took in a new baby. i wish i could win the lottery, then i could buy a large piece of land, fence it in and rescue all the dogs, cats and horses in our area. actually, all animals. i would rescue children, but they won't let me just pick them up and take them home. if i could find a suitable home for them, i would adopt them out, if not, then they are mine. so far, i have not had to turn one away, that would be awfully hard to do. fortunately, i live in a rural area and there are no restrictions on how many you can have. my only restrictions are what i can afford and physically can care for. dorlis martinj...@verizon.net wrote: > when you have to turn away FeLv cats because you rescued one to many, > does the feeling of guilt ever go away.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ but tested after the vaccinations were given
Kim, The Feline Leukemia vaccine cannot give cats leukemia and it does not give them a false positive. It doesn't affect the test at all. Some cats can test false positive so I would think about retesting or getting a IFA Hardy test that tells if it is in the bone marrow yet or not. Also how old is the kitten? Young animals usually under a year can sometimes shed the virus and become negative later in life. I hope this helps, good luck.
