[Felvtalk] My Mystique
My girl went to the clinic today for some bloodwork that I requested because she has been losing weight.What I feared the worst was true.She now is fiv+ and felv+. :( I never had her retested before I brought her home almost 2 years ago.So now I worry about my boys because I decided not to vaccinate them for felv this last year.I figured as long as I am not going to bring a felv+ home again that it was not needed. My boys are pretty healthy with the exception of Xander who has Stomatitis along with his fiv. Dr. Jen says not to worry,that they are healthy adults.So right now I am in a whirlwind of emotions... Please add ME and Mystique to your thoughts and prayers.I have soo much stress going on right now in my life and now this. :( Thanks for listening Sherry We who choose to surround ourselves with lives more temporary than our own, Live within a fragile circle,easily and often breached.

Re: [Felvtalk] Price of Second Chance santuary
Your prices are very reasonable, considering you will undoubtedly have a lot of veterinary expenses with these FelV cats. These other places are way out of line, and only the very rich could afford them. There must be a medium priced santuary for cats (not necessarily FelV cats) someplace, but I don't know where.

Re: [Felvtalk] My Mystique
Sherry, that is so scary, and I know how you feel because my cats have inadvertently been exposed to FelV too, but not one has shown any signs of illness. I need to have them all tested, but it is so expensive for the office call plus the testing, so I just pray for the best. You are in my thoughts, and prayers. Adult cats seem to be much less likely to contract FelV than kittens.

Re: [Felvtalk] My Mystique
Sherry, don't give up and don't stop fighting! Several months ago, I found a beautiful Calico kitten in the alley. She was very sick and is FELV positive. After 5 days at the vet with antibiotics and IV's,the vet let her go home but said that her blood work didn't look good and that her prognosis was poor. I started her on the following: 2ML of DMG, 500 mg of Lysine and 1 Ml of Interferon. I put it into a needle-less syringe, shake it up, and squirt it into her mouth. The improvement in her has been dramatic. I took her to the vet last week and her blood work is Normal! She is happy, eating well and playing. DMG ( 1 Ml is recommended but I give her 2, can be purchased On-Line from Only Natural Pet Store. Lysine can be purchased at a Vitamin Store ( by capsules so you don't have to crush them.) Interferon can be ordered on-line by vet prescription- this is how I get mine. I can't promise anything but it is working for me and I have read that it has worked for others. Good luck! By the way, my kitten's name is Sarah. Rose ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
