Topically. NEVER use gentian violet internally. It would be like swallowing Preparation H only worse.

I've since used it on cats when appropriate and it worked. I generally use Golden Seal tincture (from the health food store, about $8), as it works well and isn't purple. But have used Malaseb shampoo and it worked well. I don't use Grisiofulvin since it's systemic, unless it's a bad case of ringworm - has a Persian like that so did use the Grisiofulvin. I read up on Advantage Multi a while back, and didn't like some of the reports of it - so I never use Advantage Multi.

If they been mentioned, please skip this email. If not, here they are: I know 2 shampoos can eliminate ringworm very effectively by just bathing the cat (or just his/her infected area) twice a week. 1. Malaseb shampoo: it contains 2% Miconazole which can treat ringworm very effectively. It is available on Amazon. 2. Nizoral Shampoo: it is a human dandruff shampoo made with Ketoconazole. The 1% version can be obtained in drug stores. Although taking Ketoconazole by mouth could make cat lethargy, such side effect is less seen when only using it by bathing as far as I know. There is also a pet version of 2% Ketoconazole shampoo, but you will need a prescription to get that. hope it helps. catherine ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Positive cat
First of all, the vets blow way out of proportion the contagious factor in FeLv. Yes, a cat can be latent, as were my Tiger Boy and Twerp. Both latent, both tested negative all their long lives, then towards the end, they got a URI plus kidney failure and both passed within days of each other at ages 13 and 14. They lived with 8 other cats. I tested periodically but none of their mates ever turned positive and all the cats in that group regularly slept together, groomed each other, ate from the same dishes and shared litter boxes. You can't make any hard, fast rules with FeLv. Your cat has been living with the other cats so it's up to you whether she should continues to do that. However, please don't have her killed just because she tested positive. As for a cat going outside and bringing in FeLv, I really don't think so. They have to have some type of long term exposure or critical exposure - like meeting a cat who is already ill from the disease and grooming him. It's not airborne.

Re: [Felvtalk] FelV Positive cat
THANKS FOR THIS POST, LEE Too many people panic and kill cats who test positive for FelV. Some even kill FIV cats and there is no reason for this, as I believe FIV is only transmitted by deep bite wounds.

Re: [Felvtalk] Positive cat
I have a FelV+ cat who is 6 1/2. He has lived in a household with 13 other cats for over 4 years. He has not had any symptoms of disease in all those years except this summer. He was fighting off something, on antibiotics and acupuncture, and I isolated him. All my rescues were not tested for Felv because the test was $50 X 13 and it wasn't going to make a difference anyway. I was still going to rescue and neuter even if they were +. They are all inside cats. When a cat is visible ill and +, I would isolate bowls and litter. But otherwise no. I vacinated my Lucy for over 12 years with the Felv vaccine and she is 17 now. I just gave up with the tests and the vaccinations. Keep them clean, well fed and regular trips to the vet. The virus is very fragile. I had the courage to mingle these guys based on others who recsued Felv+ cats with no apparent contamination to the others.

Re: [Felvtalk] Positive cat
I had 2 FELV positive cats, one who was feral, stressed out before she came to my house (coon bit off her tail) passd after almost 2 years. ?The FELV weakened her immune system in addition to all her other problems and she passed after 2 weeks of care. Annie is still going strong after more than 4 years. She is healthy and spunky as ever. I also had 5 other cats at same time as Nitnoy and Annie. Lil Bit passed at age 16, kidneys just gave out because of age. All the rest are fine. Casey is 16, living with Annie for over 4 years. Homey and Dee and Harley are all fine. The fuss and fight, swatting at each other , share dishes, boxes and my bed. Please do not condemn this cat because of what 1 vet says. My vet says that all is well as long as the others get their FELV shot every year.
