[Felvtalk] Beau - Please add to the CLS
Sherry I'm so sorry you lost Beau. There have been an awful lot of losses on all my yahoo cat groups including my own 17 year old cat who died on June 15th. I know how sad you feel, but grief is the price we pay for love. Lorrie On 07-15, Sherry DeHaan wrote: ?We another one of our wonderful Sids kids today.

[Felvtalk] Fwd: OT-deaf/blind dog at Houston kill shelter
I am sorry, this is so OT, but I recall there may be some Texas rescue contacts on this list so hope that, in the interest of this special pup, it is ok I post her in case anyone can help get the word out in Houston/Tx.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fw: Re: to Paola - Mixing positives negatives
Paola, here is my two cents worth. i have 8 cats, 2 are felv+. my vet said as long as the negatives are up to date on their shots and the positives are not stressed out, have good food and given good care, there should not be any problem. been 2 years + and still no problem. they have hissing/slapping encounters, but no real biting. everyone is fat, sassy and healthy, especially the felv+ girls. of course, they were all at least 1yr old when i got them, not kittens. i did rescue 2 kittens headed for animal control (take them out along the highway and shoot them) and i could not let that happen. they were healthy, but i kept them seperate from others until they had their kitten shots completed. since then, they rule the house. my babies all go in and out since i live in the middle of the woods, not a lot of traffic on my gravel road. they come in at night because of coyotes, etc. going out gives all a way to work off the excess energy and be prepared for a full night's rest.

Right now I do not mix simply because one of my negative cats has Stomatitis I recently spent $3,000 saving his life from Hemobartonella, which we believe he got from a depressed immune system because of the steroids he is on.

I even had a foster kitten who had FeLV died from FIP. He lived in my bedroom with one of my negative cats for months. My cat never got the FeLV or the FIP.

Re: [Felvtalk] Brown spider (loxosceles reclusa) bite leads to hemolytic anemia
WOULD LIKE TO COMPARE NOTES. I WAS BITTEN BY A SPIDER (AT LEAST THE DR ASSUMES IT WAS LAST YEAR AND ENDED UP AT ER. AN AREA THE SIZE OF MY HAND WAS SWOLLEN, RED AND ITCHED LIKE CRAZY. DR SAID WOULD GRADUALLY EASE AND CLEAR UP. IT DID AND THEN THIS USMMER WHEN IT STARTED GETTING HOT, THAT SAME AREA ITCHES AND IS COVERED WITH SMALL, HARD BUMPS. NO SWELLING THIS TIME, JUST RED( COULD BE BECAUSE IT ITCHES AND I SCRATCH IT). HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED THIS? MY CATS DO GO OUTSIDE AND ROAM THE WOODS AROUND MY HOUSE. NOW I AM MORE WORRIED ABOUT SPIDERS THAN COYOTES. LauraM hingebacktorto...@yahoo.com wrote: I was bitten by one last November. My wound didn't become necrotic - but the swollen area was about 10 in diameter, it was tremendously painful and I have a discolored noticeable concavity in my leg at the bite site which will probably be permanent. Since that time I have suffered from constant exhaustion along with muscle spasms in the affected leg that are sometimes non-stop. So, I am always on the lookout for them. Interesting - I would love to see the research if you would kindly email it to me. --- On Sat, 7/10/10, Ana Gutierrez ana...@gmail.com wrote: From: Ana Gutierrez ana...@gmail.com Subject: [Felvtalk] Brown spider (loxosceles reclusa) bite leads to hemolytic anemia To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Saturday, July 10, 2010, 11:53 PM Dears, I keep thinking of how fast I lost Beltza, and hence I keep researching.

Re: [Felvtalk] Beau Please add to the CLS :(
To everyone who has lost a little furry friend: Beyond The Rainbow As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played, I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade. I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity. I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide! And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be! My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do. I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night. 'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold. For although we may not be together in the way we used to be, We are still connected by a cord no eye can see. So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart. cg - 1995 -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Sharyl Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 12:10 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Beau Please add to the CLS :( Sherry, so sorry to read that Beau has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fw: Re: to Paola - Mixing positives negatives
Thanks you all so much for your input. It's really helpful to know it can work. All my cats are adults and indoor/outdoor hence they were vaccinated and chances are they've mingled in places where FeLV+ cats had been.. hopefully it means it's working and/or they are immune. I will exercise caution just the same as one is also Diabetic. Thanks you so much and kudos to all of you for also not giving up on a kitty just because they are infected with this terrible disease.
