Hi Lynne
I thought I sent you a couple links to check with for the IR one was in
Canada. I think it could only be ordered by a vet. Goes by the name
Equistim(big vial bc it for horses). Also looks like Revival would ship you
would have to call them for specifics. Good luck.

Hill's A/D is a good tasting recovery food loaded with vitamins
and minerals... I buy it by the case for my guys... You probably
have to buy it from your vet but it could help...
In the archives or files for this group there are directions for liver
shake which is about the same thing...

Hi Wendy
I just saw on your last post that you are in Dallas - I'm in Denton. I just
joined this group about a month ago after the loss of one of our babies to
FeLV and now we are dealing with it in our almost 7 month old female manx.
It's nice to know someone is near by - is there a particular ve

Hey Lynne,
My name is Wendy. I've been active on this site for over 2 years now, although
not as active lately. There are lots of good people here and it looks like
you've been given some great advice. I just wanted to say a few things that
came to mind as I read the posts regarding Boo Boo,
The Siamese at Best Friends in the FeLV Unit was 22, and that was last Feb. If
she's still alive, she'd be 23 now!

I think my cat (MeMe) feels so loved and cared for (she was thrown
from a moving truck
onto the shelter's front porch) for the first time in her life that
she doesn't intend to check out
anytime soon.
We have 'bliss therapy sessions' which consists of lap time for loud,

ok time for me to chime in again. Squeaky lived to age 22 and Stripes lived to
age 16. They were both feline leuk positive. Stripes was sick on and off and
Squeaky was healthy except his final 3 weeks. HOPE reigns!
So little was known about FeLV at that time. I did NOTHING special for them

Well that certainly picks up my spirits. I swear some of these vets, like
doctors, have a set of numbers they use to label everyone or every cat in this
case.

Hmm, 30 years old. I'm not so sure even the healthiest of cats on the planet
can accomplish that feat Diane, but hey, anything's possible I suppose.

I've done some reading about it Tad and it does sound like an alternative. I'm
waiting til I have a response from the Vet in Detroit and then I'll start
looking for a vet that will work with me. I'll see Boo's regular vet again and
see what he's willing to do and if he isn't all that co-operat

Have you asked about interferon ???
If you can find a vet that will keep a big supply of it on hand
in his freezer it isn't very expensive... I believe its made for
humans but does help for many animals as well...

Someone on another cat list I'm on just lost a cat he says was FeLV+ and
it was THIRTY years old! Now, I'm not too sure how well-versed he is on
FeLV, and I'm thinking maybe he's mistaken in that. What he said was
that the cat was "infected with FeLV" when a kitten and had to have both

Lynne - the vet (NOT my regular one) who I took Mandy to when I first got her
to have her tested told me that leukemia positive cats live only about 6 months
after diagnosis. Well, Mandy is 6+ years old and who knows how long she has
had the virus. I've had her for more than six months myself-
I am taking all this advice to heart. Thank you Marilyn.

Thanks Kerri for your kind words. I will contact Revival about the immuno
regulin as soon as I get the ok from this vet in Detroit. Have other FelV cats
on the group had anemia and next to no platelet counts? This is BooBoo's
predicament. I did find out today that he will be 5 years old this
Dear Lynne,
No one can say with certainty how long any of us are going to live. That
includes BooBoo.
My view is that, just as my FeLV colony were lucky to find me, BooBoo
was very lucky to find you. His life has improved a hundredfold since he
became part of your family.
Whatever you do, please
I'll let others address your specific questions but I'll put my two
cents worth in. Look at homeopathic/alternative/complemtary vets,
especially if conventional vets are not meeting your needs. Enjoy the
time you have together. If you spend it thinking about the possible
future you will
Thank you Diane.

I'm so sorry, Sherry. I'm glad the man found him and Melina in time to
give Mysterio a few weeks of love and care. Give Melina a hug for me,
