[Felvtalk] Imodium for kitten diarrhea
I have two rescued kittens approx 4 months old. Both have diarrhea. I wormed them twice with Pyrantel Pamoate aka Strongid. They are also on Albon. They were checked by the vet and who found no parasites in the stool samples, but the diarrhea is still there, and very severe in the female. I understand kittens and cats can take Imodium, so I bought childrens Imodium today. Can any of you give me the dosage for kittens weighing 4 pounds? Thank you. Lorrie overwhelmed with too many cats! ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Cat proof furniture
I don't bown a sewing machine and haven't in years. Well, that might be a lie, there may be an almost brand new although it is over 12 years old machine I packed and brought here when I bought this house about 11 or so years ago. I think I had it out of the box once and actually threaded a couple of bobbins. Maybe. Out in the garage? Maybe Good Will? No dainty ladylike habits for me. I will work in the yard/garage but none of that cookin, cleanin, sewing, mending stuff for me. Lee Evans moonsiste...@yahoo.com wrote: It's my way of avoiding my insect phobia.

Re: [Felvtalk] Suggestion for Cat (or foot) Warmers
Good idea and possible option. Will see what it takes to put some together and try it for my outdoor dogs. Bonnie Hogue ho...@sonic.net wrote: Taking off on your idea for cat beds: My mom used to make little “rice bags.” They are about 12”x10” but I think you could make other sizes. Create a bag, fill it with rice, leave room so it is “squishy” rather than firm, sew up the corner. You can put a cover on or not. Then, on a cold night, microwave the bag (3-4 mins depending upon your microwave oven) and you have a thing that stays nice and warm for hours. We use them for our feet on a cold night. My aunt used to put them out for her feral yard cat, in a box, to keep the kitty warm. She said the cat used to wait for them by the door on a cold night.

Would it help to talk via e mail with sokme of our vets? Marcia Baronda marciabmar...@gmail.com wrote: I remember being very frightened when I found out that Fletch was positive for Felv. But then I found this list and the people on here gave me much needed hope. They explained, just like Lee did that this IS NOT a death sentence. So keep your chin up. Tanya's CRF web site has a list of many different B complex vitamins that are available online and how much of each b vitamin is in each product. It would be a great place to look. Keep your chin up, we are all here for you. Marcia Sent from my iPad that my most awesome kids surprised me with, Christmas 2010. On Nov 20, 2012, at 6:28 AM, Lee Evans moonsiste...@yahoo.com wrote: Sounds like the vets in your country are not very knowledgeable about FeLv. Your kitten is still young and might just be fighting the antibodies he got from a FeLv+ mother. You need to retest him in about 2 to 3 months and he may be negative, having overcome the antibodies. You need to know whether he is running a fever and how high it is. You probably need to visit another vet for the retest because it seems like the animal doctors in your country haven't much interest in diagnostics past just testing for FeLv and FIV. Sometimes the test can be positive for FeLv because the cat is fighting off another type of infection entirely. It's not a death sentence. It's a tool to see what can be done for the cat. Just like testing a human for diabetes is a tool to see what medications would be needed if the person has diabetes. Meantime give your cat good food. I would recommend a vitamin like Nutra-Ved which can be purchased online without any prescription or maybe your vet has it in stock. It's a liquid that you can either add to the food or give in a measured dose by mouth with a feeding syringe. I currently have a cat named Desi who is leukemia positive. However, although he lost a lot of weight, he grooms himself, he has shiny fur and he is alert, clear eyed and interested in things around him. He was a colony cat who we fed for several years. He just recently began losing a lot of weight and we had him tested, were surprised that he was FeLv+ because he was living outside all this time, never showing any symptoms of poor health. Each cat is an individual. One size medicine or vet care does NOT fit all. So keep a good attitude and don't look at your cat as if he were ill with something fatal. Look at him as if this is just another crisis in his life which he can overcome. Keep us posted. Hugs to you and your fur kid.

Does your kitty have a temperature? If you can get meds online I would definitely suggest some amoxicillin, if he has a fever. He may have an infection that he needs help with. You can order fish antibiotics over the Internet made by Thomas Labs. I hate to give this kind of advice, but it may make him better where he feels good enough to eat better. I would also give him some b complex vitamins Because cats need them. Sometimes they will perk up and eat and drink better after having them. Twin Labs makes liquid b complex that you could give by syringe. Other people on here will be able to help better than I, because I'm kind of a newbie with the Felv. My heart goes out to you and your kitty. Take care Marcia Sent from my iPad that my most awesome kids surprised me with, Christmas 2010.
