Re: Cornelll
Agreed - Cornell U. could do much better.

They still say you have to wait at least 30 days to use a space in which there previously was a pos cat… also, are very pessimistic about survival rate, and very much anti-mixing.

If the anemia is from FeLV it has to be in the bone marrow which according to what I have read, means the FeLV has been with the cat for a long time. Our vet has our Stinky cat on Interferon and amoxicillin. Yesterday she had a red blood count of about 13 than a retest showed a count of 18 which they feel is too high for a transfusion but, that will probably be low enough by Monday for another transfusion. However, the anemia may not be from FeLV at all. There are other things lurking out there that cause it like FIA which is hard to detect but, the doxycycline should handle that if that is what your cat has. And, as Michelle has pointed out, and my vet has pointed out, it may be cancer that is at the bottom of anemia so, don't despair, it may not be FeLV. Even as sick as my Stinky cat is, I am still holding out hopes that ELISA was wrong and the IFA test was right! Best of luck and all our prayers! Stinky's Mom and Dad

Any ideas for this lady in California? Thanks,Bonnie www.elephants.com ---BeginMessage--- sure, feel free to send it. thanks!

Some of them are very experienced with treating kitty illnesess and deliberately adopt Felv cats with compromised immune systems; many of their cats stay healthy for a long time with proper care). I'm thinking, like you are, that if the kitten still has diarrhea, something is wrong and maybe you need to see another vet. I adopted a stray 12 years ago who had kittens. All of them had to be put on meds for some gastro-intestinal problem they picked up from their mother, it may have been diarrhea and it cleared up.

He was sneezing when we got him but it has stopped and he's been fine. However, he has light caramel coloured runny bowel movements. We wormed him with strongid when we got him, then we treated him later with Revolution. He eats well, is growing and very comfortable. He just doesn't have formed bowel movements. The vet checked him out when he was wormed and said he was fine, but we still have the diarrhea.

Re: Re: Kitten with diarrhea
Try Fast track (a probiotic) and apple pectin. The Fast Track works wonders by reestablishing balance. - Original Message - From: BONNIE J KALMBACH [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org; felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2005 4:06 PM Subject: Fwd: Re: Kitten with diarrhea Any ideas for this lady in California?

Re: Kitten with diarrhea
Also she can try Slippery Elm, either sprinkle powder over food, or make the syrup. Arsenicum Album, a homeopathic remedy has also worked well for some of my "problem kitties". Another "natural" treatment is adding pumpkin to food. Has IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease been ruled out by vet??? Patti
