RE: housing/fostering of FeLV+ cats
Hi, When I was working I kept the number down to 18. am now down to four (4). Now that I am retired, wheelchair bound, my max is six (6). Thank you for the Pat on the Back. The good news is when I had one of my cats at the vet today he told me that very few FeLV+ cats show up anymore. And their clinic will NOT put down a FeLV+ cat that is not sick. One reason for this might be that people with Indoor Only cats are getting the vaccine against it, It would be great if this downturn were to spread coast to coast.

Re: OT - Sally in trouble with Panluek
Sorry to hear about the kitties. I have had some kittens that died from it. I have learned alot though. Kittens can overcome panleuk, but they have to be kept very hydrated. I would get a bag of fluids and small needles from the vet, and administer subcutaneously just between the shoulder blades. Also, a great product to use for any dehydrated cats and kittens is Pedialyte (unflavored, of course). Just syringe it orally as much as they can tolerate and repeat, repeat, repeat. With panleuk, as well as intestinal parasites, the kittens usually wind up dying from dehydration, not the actual problem. Also, feed them cooked steamed rice with chicken or turkey broth. Baby food is good too, but be careful not to buy baby food with onion powder in it. Please tell her to get her other cats vaccinated. Good luck, hope this helps. - Original Message - From: Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 1:49 PM Subject: OT - Sally in trouble with Panluek Hello Everyone, Poor Sally (from San Jose) is waging a terrible battle with Panleukopenia kittens. The mother and four babies, (about 4 or 5 weeks old) were rescued from a back yard situation. She has already lost two of the kittens one of which was diagnosed by a vet with Panleukopenia. Her computer is down and she is desperately seeking help with remedies for vomiting, (the poor little guys can't keep the meds down). They don't have diarrhea yet, (do have soft stool), they are starting to refuse food, as of this morning neither had a temp. So far they have been given 4 doses of Arsenicum Album (6c once an hour), they are getting Transfer Factor Stress formula and Amoxi, (prescribed by vet) and subq fluids. Not only is she losing these sweet babies one at a time, but the rest of her cats, (a whole houseful) are being put in danger. Anyone that thinks they could help, please write me off-list and I'll send you her phone number, or pass on the info. Say a prayer for the babies, their Momma and the rest of Sally's cats, (some of which have not been vaccinated!). Thanks, Nina

OT: Pit bull seizures in Denver
I know this is off topic but I remember the discussions we had about pitt bulls a couple of months ago wondered if anyone had seen this __ Denver Pit Bull Owners in a Panic Over Ban July 20, 2005 7:38 PM EDT DENVER - A few weeks ago, two police cars and two animal control vehicles pulled up at the home of Stef'ny Steffen looking for her beloved 4-year-old pit bull, Xena. Seven officers hauled the animal off to the city shelter, putting her on death row. Xena became an outlaw after Denver won a court fight and reinstated one of the toughest pit-bull bans in the nation. Since May, more than 380 dogs have been impounded and at least 260 destroyed - an average of more than three a day. Dog owners are in a panic. Some are using an underground railroad of sorts, sending their pets to live elsewhere or hiding them from authorities. City officials would not estimate how many people might be violating the ordinance. Some owners, like Steffen, have won a reprieve for their pets with help from a rescue group. The group got Xena released by signing an affidavit stating that the animal would never return to Denver. The group took the dog to Mariah's Promise in Divide, an animal sanctuary that has accepted more than three dozen pit bulls from Denver. For Steffen and her partner, Gina Black, leaving Xena 60 miles from home was a lousy option but the only one they had. It's safer than animal control. Safer than keeping her underground - at least she'll be able to play now, Steffen said. But she'll miss us. We're her pack. Denver is one of three major metropolitan areas, along with Miami and Cincinnati, to ban pit bulls, according to Glen Bui, vice president of the American Canine Foundation. Pit bull typically describes three kinds of dogs - the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. But Denver's ban applies to any dog that looks like a pit bull. The animal's actual behavior does not matter. City Councilman Charlie Brown said that in his judgment, pit bulls are trained to attack. They're bred to do that. Critics of the ban use words like annihilation and genocide, and the city shelter has received e-mails likening animal control officers to Nazis. Breed bans are just a knee-jerk reaction to something that happened in the community, Bui said. Denver banned pit bulls in 1989 after dogs mauled a minister and killed a boy in separate attacks. The Legislature passed a law in 2004 that prohibited breed-specific bans, but the city sued and a judge ruled in April the law was an unconstitutional violation of local control. Critics of the ordinance say that a blanket ban on an entire breed is misguided that the law should instead target irresponsible owners and all dangerous dogs. If anyone says one dog is more likely to kill - unless there's a study out there that I haven't seen - that's not based on scientific data, said Julie Gilchrist, a doctor at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who researches dog bites. The CDC, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Humane Society of the United States examined 20 years of dog-bite data and concluded that pit bulls and Rottweilers caused the most deaths. But the researchers also noted that fatal attacks represent a small proportion of dog-bite injuries and that the number of bites per breed simply seems to rise with their popularity. At the city shelter, pit bulls are cordoned off from other dogs in what has become death row. Nearly 100 pit bulls have been released to live outside the county. A nonresident must guarantee the dog will never return to Denver. Sonya Dias, who is moving out of Denver because of the ban, said she was a little intimidated by her pit bull when she first saw him. But when I said, `Hey little doggie,' his whole body just started wagging. Gryffindor is staying at Mariah's Promise until Dias sells her home. He's been dangerous to a couple of pairs of shoes and some mini-blinds, Dias said. But otherwise he's a jewel. --- Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: OT - Sally in trouble with Panluek
Miriam, Thank you very much for responding with some suggestions for Sally's little babies. Three of the four kittens have already passed. The fourth is not doing very well either. It's so heartbreaking. She has been giving subq fluids and assist feeding tiny amounts of formula every 20 minutes or so. The last little boy, Trevor is doing better at not vomiting the meds and formula back up, so she has hope that he might pull through. Nina MIRIAM BEBITCH wrote: Sorry to hear about the kitties.
