Do any of you have experience with seizure activity in your felv kitties? My
five and one half year old felv cat has had multiple episodes of what the vet
believes are small, focal seizures. They begin with ear twitching, which
increases until he becomes extremely frightened, he appears to be
The seizures probably have nothing to do with FeLV. Has he had a full blood
workup?
I've only ever had one cat with seizures developed late in life, but he had
multiple birth defects.
I know it's frustrating to see them go through it.

I am sorry I was out of reach for a while. I sincerely would like to thank each

Thank you all,

Take care. I know this was a hard lesson to learn, but thank you for trying to
save River from a life on the street. Maybe your voice will change some things
at the shelter.

first the discharge was clear, but last night it became cloudy. Called the vet

I just looked up the stats for 2011 for Animal Care Services, our city run
shelter. Well, they are better than 10 years ago when ACS was killing over
50,000 a year, with the breakdown of 18,000+ cats and the rest dogs. So we can
be called a less kill city. But far from anything logical. In

Tuesday she was acting very odd and not eating. I took her to the vet, who ran
bloodwork.
Her lympocytes were incredibly high, wbc was high (can't remember the numbers),
she had a 104 temp. She got injections of b12, steroid,

for their actions. I just will not take a cat to a shelter, that is why I have

Where are you?
Just be careful about anything that resembles mandatory spay/neuter laws,
as they apparently are counterproductive, and may be in this case, too.

I do not trust shelters anymore so I keep my posiives. My vet said if I
vaccinate the negatives, there should be no problem and so far, I have had
none. they all live in the whole house, eat out of the other's bowl because it
must be better than mine. I do my best to keep the stress level

only good things about the pounds around here is that they don't test for
FIV/Felv, so then they don't kill for it. Of course, I think they should

One of my FeLVs got really high temps once. He was at the emergency vet all
weekend. He got over it, but started a downward spiral after that for the next
year.
Why does he want to put her on the cerenia? is she vomiting a lot?
I understand you keeping her separate if she is sick, but as long

``In my area they ahve an animal control for dogs, cats are just shot.''

Dee, I'm sorry your cat is having problems. Cerenia is typically Rx'd as an
anti-emetic (vomiting). Some vets also Rx it for nausea even though there are

help fight nausea in some cats. Most in the FAF yahoo group
