[Felvtalk] Lymphocyte T-Cell Immune Modulator
Hey all, Has anyone used Lymphocyte T-Cell Immune Modulator for treating FeLV? I just added it to the FeLV site after reading about it at Wikipedia. The info from there can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_leukemia_virus#Treatme nt_Options Are there other treatments that we have not listed on the site? If so, please send me the information privately along with any documentation of its effectiveness. Kind regards to all. ps: Thanks to all who've donated to this project.

Re: [Felvtalk] crf-Belinda
Not sure about cosequin for cats, but it's been around for years helping horses. It's one of the most popular supplements for horses out there.? I use Recover EQ for my horses because they have other issues, but many of my horse friends have used?cosequin for years and swear by it.

He will take his norvasc in a pill pocket but he hates taking the cosequin because it's too big for one of those and I have to pill him. ? I checked out the crf site Beth sent and I'm going to look at methods of giving fluids and see if I can't figure out a better way to give them that will work.? I normally can barely get 50 in him at a time, and quite frankly have given up on them until I felt like he really needed them to get by. :( t Belinda Sauro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ??? Hi Tonya, ? Lysine as far as I know isn't going to hurt his kidney's, never heard that Cosquin helps them, Fred gets this for his arthritis too.? He gets the pink and white capsules, my vet said I could go with 1 or 2 a day depending on how Fred's arthritis seemed to be.? He currently get 1 because he gets so much stuff now already, that seems to be enough for him.? They really need to be given everyday though, they take up to 6 weeks to make a difference.? I've never seen a BUN that low if it is correct, what are his liver values like? Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) - Urea, which is normally excreted by the kidney, is a by-product of protein metabolism. High levels of BUN may be the result of a high protein diet, dehydration, ulcers in the digestive tract, kidney disease, or blockage of the normal flow of urine (from a crystal or mucus plug, for example). Low BUN levels can result from a low protein diet or liver disease. I wouldn't worry so much about the low protein diet, my vet said she didn't get them on that until the end stages when they were a lot worse than Bob is, Fred doesn't eat that stuff and he does fine.? He eats Fancy Feast, home cooked or baby food with supplements.? He has been CRF for over 2 years now and his last blood work like I said was really good, almost normal.? Mainly you want to keep the phosphorus under 6, mid 4's if good and the potassium solidly in the mid to high 4's.? Low potassium can cause back leg muscle weakness and isn't good for the heart.? I agree that 100cc of fluid a week is not going to do much good.? If Bob is dehydrated I would give him between 50 and 100cc a day, if he isn't he doesn't need any fluids.? Fred even when his numbers are low is dehydrated and needs 100cc a day. Fred has lost pretty much all the muscle in both back legs now, he still gets around OK just can't use them to scratch or anything else.? He is starting to lose a bit of weight so I have to really keep on him to eat, he is getting lazy and if the food is not right there in front of him he will go without, so I have to remember to make sure he has food wherever he is laying. It's almost time for more blood work, kind of afraid of what it is going to say though, it was really good last time, so I hope it is still good. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...Be-Mi-Kitties http://www.bemikitties.comHostDesign4U.com [affordable hosting web design] http://www.hostdesign4u.comForYouByUs.com [custom printing] http://www.foryoubyus.com ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Melina Please add to the CLS :(
Thank you everyone for your kind words regarding Smokey. At least I know the sweet little guy is not suffering. Just about everytime I?think about me cleaning his mouth it? makes me cry a little, even right now. I'm way to soft were animals are concerned. I even worry about my pet squirrel, Charlie. Well, he's not really a pet, I just feed him and he's becoming really friendly. I take care of a stray cat named fi fi. (Long story how she got that name). Yesterday when I first saw her she came trotting up to me, happy to see me. She's very cute and I must say she really made me feel better. She currently lives at my mother's house, (she's?now an?indoor cat and loves it) but there will come a time when she will come with either me or my sister. Right now she is a true blessing and belongs were she is.

We lost our sweet little Smokey cat. When I took him to my vet before we left on vacation she told us that the sores in his mouth were caused from the virus and that he was suffering. She said? there wasn't anything that could be done. I just couldn't believe it because I really?thought he was doing so much better and that the sores were from herpes, which I explained to her. She said no, sometimes these sores are caused from the decease and that he was in great pain. Every time I think about the times that I?cleaned his little mouth it breaks my heart because I now know how much I was hurting him. I was as gentle as I could be but I thought I needed to keep the sores doctored and?I really didn't realize how much pain he was in. Stupid me, I thought I was helping him and that he was getting better. After some time goes by, I plan on going to a rescue facility and adopting a cat. I will try to get a little cat that has been passed by, maybe a little older one, I don't really know, I figure I will know when I see him/her. Thank you for all the information and support.

It saddens me whenever a little animal leaves us and my thoughts are sincerely with their owners. I've been kind of?preoccupied with Smokey. I really understand how these guys can effect you, I think it's because they are so innocent and, like Smokey, are so trusting. Every time I go to pet him, which is a lot, he purrs, even though he's not feeling great. I will be gone for six days on a previously planned vacation, (bad timing, I know). However, he will be staying with my vet, I'm really hoping that she can get his ulcers cleared up. I absolutely will get him on lysine. Just one more question?if you all don't mind:?Do I get it in liquid form or is it a powder? I'll email when I return to give an update. Can you send pictures on this site? If so and if it's appropriate, I can send a picture of Smokey.
