Re: [Felvtalk] News from Winn Foundation on Possible Treatment of FeLV
This is very encouraging. I hope it turns out to be a wonder drug that could save a lot of lives. Keep praying. “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2012 17:02:30 -0800 From: cline...@yahoo.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] News from Winn Foundation on Possible Treatment of FeLV Just saw this article.

Currently, no effective treatment for FeLV infection exists.

The researchers tested the drug in a laboratory setting for potential toxicity to feline cells, as well as the ability to inhibit the replication of FeLV in these cells. It was found that, at least in cell culture, this drug inhibited virus replication and did not cause toxic changes to the feline cells. The researchers speculate that this drug could be used to reduce virus replication in FeLV-infected cats to the point that their own immune system could eliminate the virus, effectively curing the infection.

The Rabiies vac is definitely a state thing, Then ultimately County by county. Makes no sense does it? If it was really about protection then ALL counties should require it.

Sounds like the mayor of silex. They moved the town up on the hill because it kept geting flooded. The had written rules about what you could and could not do, like no one could have more than 1 dog and no one could have a fenced area with dog houses. Dogs have to be kept in house and walked on a leash. 1 man has 4 dogs and 4 pens for them at the back of his house and they are on somene else's land. And the list of stupid laws keeps changing every day. Sure glad I live on a buff about 2 miles out of town, don't have to put up with that nonsense. i ALSO DON'T HAVE HOUSES 30' FROM MY HOUSE. cATS AND i HAVE 25 ACRES TO ROAM.

Interesting huh? I need to check out that group again to see if they've found anything else out or if it actually last longer than the 4 years even. I know they were doing more research studies. Will most vets give the 3 year one to a kitten?
