Thanks to all of you for many great ideas. The cats actually are
intrigued by watching the ants trucking around, lol. I'll try out your
suggestions let you all know what worked. Thanks again!

Hi Julia,
You will get on either 114 or 183, whichever you are
closer to, and head east to Dallas. Both merge into
I-35, and then take I-35 North to 635 east all the way
to Greenville avenue. Exit Greenville and take a
right. You will pass two streets (small streets) and
then it should be on
Hi Guys-
I hope I am posting this the right way.
We just found out today that we are positive.
Chester just turned a year old in April. We got him after we was weaned and
has been inside our house ever since. I suspect that he got it from his
mother (his mother was an indoor cat-or that's what
Talk to your vet about low dose oral interferon. Also, I don't unnderstand the prednisone. This can hinder immune system functioning and make it harder for him to kick a cold. Baytril can be harsh on a cat's system too. I think I'd probably wean him off the pred and look at Zithromax instead of

Hi Lisa!
You're certainly not alone here! :) That's wonderful that he's still
eating! When Feleuk guys get sick, they often go off their food and it
can be a struggle just to get food into them, let alone address what's
going on illness-wise!
Might I suggest adding some L-lysine to his food?
Anyone know where I can purchase lysine in powder form?
I am so tired of grinding up pills.
Thanks
Karen
Lisa,
You may need to change vets, as many of us have had to
do. There are positive cats on this list who have lived as long as 14.
Though that is not the norm, many of us have had positives live to 5, 6, or
longer. I am always afraid of jinxing mine, but I have a 5 year old and a 6 year
Look in a health food store or online for Lysine in capsules. It comes that
way, and you can open the capsules and use the powder.

Nina,
What have you concluded about EE versus RR?

Hi,
I wrote about a week ago with a newly diagnosed 7 month kitten named Lucy. I've read several recommendations that I shouldn't put her back on antibiotics but the problem is that within a week of being off the antibiotics she is deathly ill. Today was day 7 of not being on them and following

Hi Maggie,
I have a concern with prescribing abx indefinitely, but they can save
your baby's life if she needs them. It sounds like whatever abx they
have been prescribing for Lucy is not the right one. When my Grace
first became symptomatic the vet put her on, now I can't remember which,
What antibiotic is she on? I swear by Zithromax. It's given once a day for 5 days and if effective against even the worst upper respiratory infections. Doesn't seem to upset the tummy the way Baytril does and is so much more effective than Clavamox or amoxicillin or doxycycline.[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi Lisa,
Take a look at the responses to Maggie's posts, Off antibiotics, it
seems like they will apply to you guys as well. I completely agree that
separating Timmy and Chester at this point doesn't make any sense. I
would have Timmy tested, just so you know. Did you have him

Has Chester had blood work to see if there is something else going
on? Also sometimes positives need to stay on the anitibiotics longer
than a cat with a healthy immune system. I really think blood work
should be done specifically checking for anemia. Check his gums and see
if they look
Hi Karen,
I get my lysine here, I get the capsules and just open them and
sprinkle on food but they also sell the powder form.

Here is the powder specifically, 1 pound for $9.56
PS. That size would last forever since you would just use a pinch twice
a day.

This is the brand I've been able to find at a local health food
store...but the online price is pretty sweet...I pay twice that, but if
you don't buy anything else from iHerb, then shipping will probably even
everything out... ;)
What is EE, I just ordered the RR creme and am curious about this EE?

Hi all,
Two brothers, 7 weeks today tested one positive, one
negative for leukemia. The mom is feral, and has not
been tested yet, but her sister tested positive. The
mom had been trapped by someone trying to do the right
thing, but the kittens were born beforre she could get
her to the vet.

The lethargy could be a sign of anemia - check his gums, or tongue, if
that's easier - but it could also be that he just doesn't feel well with the
fever. Usually if they get too anemic, they won't eat but will eat or lick
unusual things like litter. Baytril is a good antibiotic, and I think
Thank you! It is wonderful that there are
people like you out there who are willing to help a cat who may not be

Hi,
It depends on what is causing the anemia, Bailey was getting high
doses of pred along with epogen to fight his anemia.
this is not good as pred is an immune suppressant, not to mention
I don't think it is necessarily the best way of handling anemia
