Re: [Felvtalk] Nutrition and new FeLV positive kitten (Lisa)/REPLY
All the Hill's Science Diet foods are absolute junk! Look at the ingredients - you can do better reading labels on better quality foods, and get better food for less. Instead of A-D, to mix with meds and use syringe, I cook chicken and then use my Magic Bullet to make a chicken mousse with the broth that chicken was cooked in (after removing the fat). Our cats actually used to prefer the dry Science Diet to the cans!

Also, I used Interferon for many years and this was only $25.00 for a bottle, the bottle lasted for about 2 months for his size (10 lbs).

Re: [Felvtalk] me and my kitties will pray for Barnaby
Beth, have you gone to the house and called Barnaby? Maybe he will recognize your voice. Recently I adopted a semi-feral kitten that escaped outside (never open cage door outside to pet cute kitty, duh). The woman feeding the kitten had to come over and catch the kitten, the kitten came to her voice. Now kitten is inside and well-adjusted. Maybe Barnaby is waiting to hear your voice.

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV - COLITIS
Are you sure he did not say cystitis? That would make more sense from your description of symptoms than colitis.

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV - COLITIS/REPLY WED NIGHT
No, he examined her thoroughly and said it is coming from the anus and showed me! Some dripped on the exam table - secretions. It is more like a gel secretion. I mistook it for urine at first. He said def colitis, that maybe she had eaten something to upset her colon. Gave oral liquid anti b now and having hard time getting it down her - she squirms and has sharp, sharp teeth, so I fear she may not get as much as she should.
