I'd be willing too.  Another idea might be to move the talk portion of the 
site to Yahoo Groups.  Don't know how that would impact the archives.  And 
Yahoo groups occasionally has problems as well.

 Hello everyone -
 I went to the archives today and found that I am only getting about half 
 of the messages. Earlier this month it was suggested that we all chip in 
 if a new server is needed. The support of this group has meant a great 
 deal to me and I would be very happy to help in some way. Is it feasible 
 to make this new server idea happen?

Re: Melina Please add to the CLS :(

2008-07-05 Thread expressprintkm

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Melina. I am new to this site and 
really know nothing of this terrible disease. I have recently (just bringing 
him home from the vets today) adopted the sweetest little boy who sadly has 
this virus. He showed up a few days ago as a stray. My husband and I fell in 
love with him and took him to the vet for shots, etc. Sadly, we were informed 
that he has tested positive.



I really do not know what this means. Any information will be greatly 
appreciated. I especially would like to know what I can do to keep him well for 
as long as possible. The vet suggests Vitamin C. Any information will be 
greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Kathryn

Welcome, Kathryn

2008-07-05 Thread Diane Rosenfeldt
You've come to a great place for information and support.  Others have much
more experience with these babies, but I can tell you that diet and stress
control are paramount.  If you can give your new guy (what's his name?) the
best food possible and keep him as happy as possible, that's a great first
step.  You can also supplement his diet with L-lysine (from natural food
stores, without the additives found in the kind you find in most drugstores,
which is toxic to cats).  Make sure your vet is knowledgeable on FeLV -- if
he/she didn't immediately suggest euthanasia, that's a good sign.  If he/she
isn't, look around for one who is.  Some people here like holistic vets, if
there are some in your area, in addition to their regular vet.  
 
There's no way to know how long any of them will last.  Some people here
have kitties who have lived long and well with FeLV, and then there are some
(like my Patches, who came to me as a stray, too, who only stayed with me
six weeks.)  What's important is to enjoy him every minute he's with you,
fight the good fight together, but know when it's time to let go.  Not easy,
but doable.  Good luck with your guy.
 
Diane R.

Re: Welcome, Kathryn

2008-07-05 Thread Lynne
I totally agree with everything Diane has said Kathryn.  Good food and a stress 
free life are probably the two most important things you can do for your little 
one.  Of course if he becomes ill hopefully he can be treated with medication.  
It can all be a tremendous expense once they become ill.  I would suggest you 
have blood work done to try and get an idea of what you are dealing with here.  
When we had that done I got 3 opinions, all telling me it was a hopeless 
situation and very grim.  That didn't stop us from trying other methods of 
treatment but in the end the disease won.  I don't regret for one moment the 
expense of trying to save our little guy who was only with us for one month but 
you have to be realistic when or if he starts to really deteriorate. Our cat 
was 4 when we got him and was already quite advanced with the disease, unknown 
to us until that first trip to our vet but if your kitty is healthy and active 
he may very well live a good long life.  Many on this group have had their cats 
do just that.  
I truly hope yours will be one of these long time survivors.  Don't let it make 
you crazy though. I think my constant worry and sadness over our little one's 
illness didn't help him any.  

Best of luck to you.

2008-07-05 Thread expressprintkm
Thank you all for the information. Right now he does have an eye infection and 
a little upper respiratory issue that we are dealing with . We don't know if 
it's the disease or if it's just from being neglected.? He really loves to sit 
on my lap and be petted and seems to be pretty relaxed. He also is eating well, 
loves canned food, which I am giving him plenty of. I know that might not be 
good for him, however, I want him to enjoy his life for as long as he can. I 
have dogs ( 2 rescues) which pose a little problem for us. I haven't introduced 
them yet, I'm waiting because I don't want to stress Smokey out. I really 
hope he's one of those guys that will live a few years. My vet, who never 
suggested putting him down, says that it is possible. She's been very 
supportive. You are all correct with the expense though, I've had him only 
about a week and I've all ready spent about $500 with another $200 for shots 
and such coming up next week. It's worth it if I can make a difference in his 
life. I also have two horses. One is a rescue with ringbone. My large animal 
vet did not want me to get Monty, but I didn't listen and it was the best 
decision I ever made regarding my pets. I'm sure little Smokey will bring me as 
much joy as my horse Monty has. I will keep you all posted?on Smokey's 
progress. I really appreciate everyone's support.
