Re: [Felvtalk] Intro
Mary Christine, I appreciate your questions, there are many thoughts on this issue. If you will re-read my post, I said that there were 'conflicting' studies. I was just trying to take away guilt of any loving owner that had either vaccinated or not vaccinated their positive kitties and the good or bad results that followed. Either decision can be supported. As I remember, which I do very well, the studies that were conducted many years ago (late 70's -when I was still in grad school at OSU- and when successful vaccines for FeLV were being developed , both 'live' and 'killed' (studies at that time were decreased due to lack of grant funding-remember the oil crisis and recession then, much like now), and then, the 80's and 90's at least gathered a bit of evidence with anecdotal stories to OSU from owners and past study participants with pros and cons of the 'killed' virus), and further study needs to be done, as I explicitly stated. As far as I know, there is no 'definitive info on this subject. The only way that a 'killed' virus theoretically could cause a problem is if the adjuvant with which it is carried is a problem to the recipient. These many years later I can not site specifics on the papers, heaven knows I am not aware of all of the individual cases that were gathered, but spoke with the researchers at the time. In my post, I gave thoughts, just from memory and personal experience, and my feelings on the subject as I have found, and expressed the unknowing and questions that still exist. There is much to be learned with more research dollars.I think you will see that this is what I briefly posted previously. I have included my past post that you referred to directly below, and your questions below that. I appreciate your scrutinization of my post, and compliment you on your long standing, caring, study and care of the unfortunate FELV+ kitty. Karen Griffith-740-992-5782 (If you have any questions) P.S. I have found over the years that 'symptomatic' kitties do not do well immediately after vaccination. My previous message- Laurie, I can appreciate your post. There are studies that say that vaccination helps the FELV kitty and others that say just the opposite. I have found that vaccination of positive cats decreases their survivability in the immediate situation. (Who knows what long term figures are for asymptomatic kitties). We'll have to wait another 10 yrs to get the real results with double blind studies. They are wonderful animals. They thrive and survive despite our best efforts in many cases. We need to send a blessing to all on this list that help every day and try to take the best care possible of these immunocompromised souls. I just do what I have found to be successful over the last 10 years or so.

Re: [Felvtalk] UPDATE: Tampa FL: Double suicide leaves 3 FELV+ cats, high kill facility
Heather, of course you should share your losses with us. It's sad, but I think it's really important to acknowledge these little souls. As for the couple who committed suicide, I can't imagine the kind of pain that led them to do this. Times are so very hard right now, and while I feel a lot of hope for the future, the present is what we're living in now and it's pretty sucky. But if you *are* feeling anger toward them, I think that's okay. They had stuff going on, obviously, but they also had three little lives depending on them and they should have made some provision for them, either given them away or even taken them in themselves for a kind death, although of course this is the last resort. Perhaps they thought, like so many apparently do, that the cats would be all right on their own. I can't be angry at these people, but I do resent the way they treated their cats. Sorry you had to do this. You did what you could, which is way more than a lot of folks would. Hugs.

Re: [Felvtalk] UPDATE: Tampa FL: Double suicide leaves 3 FELV+ cats, high kill facility
Heather, I have several feelings around this. Sadness, anger, frustration, compassion. This couple was likely not thinking straight about the future or their kitties when they took their own lives. I can never know what is in someone else's mind or heart. I do know that I have feelings that are legitimate and that feelings are not facts and underlying my own feelings is FEAR. Bless you for what you did to try to help these kitties. I totally relate to your email about figuring out what I can do to help and knowing my limitations. I can't do hands on help anymore, either.

Hello All, I'm new to this post and I have a question. My 13 year old kitty Ramses has recently been diagnosed with Chronic lymphatic leukemia. The vet has recommended the following drugs: Prednisolone and/or Chlorambucil. What is known about the effectiveness and side effects of using these two drugs to treat the above mentioned leukemia? We are struggling with treating him at all at this time because aside from some hair and weight loss, he is not showing any symptoms. I'm afraid that these could happen at any time but presently he seems to be fine. Thanks for any feedback you can provide.
