[Felvtalk] Fw: URGENT! FELV+ Persian
I am just cross posting this. Contact info in the message below. Please help if you can. Thanks, Gary -- Subject: URGENT! FELV+ Persian There is a red Persian female, 3 years old, FELEUK POSITIVE BY SNAP, at Anti-Cruelty in Chicago, IL. PCBR is paying for an IFA to be done, but, if that is positive, we will need to move the cat VERY quickly as the shelter will put her down.

Re: [Felvtalk] Subject: Help- need advice on fleas
It's important never to use any of the essential oils on cats, unless it is known not to be harmful to them - I haven't had a chance to read ASPCA piece yet because I'm kept rather busy, 24/7, bottle feeding a teeny kittens since it was one day old - now, 2 weeks old. However, there are some products on the market with oils, but it's probably either safe or safe in tiny amounts. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of dlg...@windstream.net Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 11:55 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Subject: Help- need advice on fleas ASPCA HAS A GOOD ARTICLE ON AROMATHERAPY OILS AND CATS.

Re: [Felvtalk] Mixing
My veterinarian NEVER vaccinates cats at the time of surgery, illness...unlike many vets who insist on vaccinating no matter how ill the cats are.Cat owners do not bother finding out which vaccines to choose or not, depending on a cat's lifestylemany blindly accept a vet's vaccine protocolgetting FeLV and FIV vaccines when it isn't warranted, neither going outside or exposed to other cats who might have it.I have yet to see a vet who adheres to the latest protocol for FVRCP instead of yearly, every three years. It's all about the money with many vets.Personally, I have not have cats with injection site sarcomas, nor from FeLV vaccines - have never used them yet. I have only two healthy FeLV+ cats that are very healthy. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Michelle Brockman Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 11:03 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Mixing I know of several instances of the same thing happening Natalie in addition to two kittens I personally adopted devloping FIP after vaccines which is why I feel so strongly about vaccines.

Re: [Felvtalk] Vaccines
I really like the way your vet thinks and wish more had the same protocols. Unfortunately mine doesn't so I direct him as to my wishes for my pets when they have ANYTHING done in the office now so I control what is done to them. Knowledge really is power and I just wish there weren't so many that blindly trust their doctors, veterniarians and the general 'powers that be' in our society without educating themselves first. I had to learn this lesson the hard way after my cats got sick. They were vaccinated and spayed/neutered the same day when their immune system was now in hindsight being compromised by an active coronavirus mutation and the weakness allowed it to further develop into FIP. One had wet (Gus, who died at 9 months) and one had dry (Scout who died at 8 months). Neither of these cats had FeLV and only received distemper and rabies vaccines and were 100% healthy prior to their surgeries/vaccinations. That's enough about that, I just hope people can benefit from my terrible experience.

[Felvtalk] treatment updates
Unfortunately, these updates are not good news. ACEMANNAN: I used this to save several FeLV cats, it works. Sadly, the company that made it - Carrington Labs - went out of business and it is no longer available. On Saturday I will give the last of my Acemannan to a sick kitty and hope that will be enough. STAPH PROTEIN A: I have never had the chance to use this, but there were some pretty encouraging trials a few years ago and my vet got some from a university. The vet said it worked very well in temporarily reversing anemia in Felv cats, giving them another 5 or 6 months of good health. This product was never approved for the treatment of animals and is stricly used in biological research. You must be a legitimate bio researcher to buy it and you must swear it will never get into the hands of anyone not authorized to use it. So, in reality, you cannot get it. Would the list owner please update the website about these treatments.
