Re: [Felvtalk] Angel Buffy
Hi all, Thanks so much for adding Buffy to the CLS.. Even though I don't have another Felv kitty, there is something about this that I must do. I guess you all know what I'm talking about. If I can ever be of any help, please don't hesitate to contact me. You all are always in my thoughts and prayers with your fur babies.

[Felvtalk] CLS - Angel Kathy - Non FELV
Kathy is one of my friends' kitties. She crossed the bridge last week due to end stage cancer and renal failure. She had been blind since birth and they had her operated on to form eyelids so the fur would not stick to her eyes. She also had some other birth defects. Despite her living 13 years of course my friend blames herself.

[Felvtalk] Feeling Guilty
when you have to turn away FeLv cats because you rescued one to many, does the feeling of guilt ever go away. I was going to take a cat from NY but had an emergency rescue of one who was going to be put to sleep. I had to tell this person that I can't take the cat. We are getting our last one from Indiana, that has been planned for months. I worry about being reported to the ASPCA for having too many cats. We currently have 13, plus 1 from indiana makes 14. I wish I could rescue them all. In 2-3 years, when we get more financialy stable, we are going to convert a house that we are currently renting, into a cattery so I can rescue more cats. But for now we run it out of our home, which is large, but is getting over run by cats. Any advice or words of comfort is appreciated. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

We do what we CAN...and it hurts to realize we cannot save every one.

He was found at a truck stop on the highway, all alone, last November, and such a sweetie! But then he tested positive for FELV. The folks who brought him to me were just devastated, just loved him so much, as I did. They thought he was not quite a year old, and we were all hoping he'd make it longer. Bob was fine - eating heartily, playful - until March. He became lethargic and the vet said he was severely anemic. He got a blood transfusion, and was on prednisone, pettinic, etc. But just couldn't make it back from his sickness. He died the early morning of March 17, 2009, and with St Patrick's help went to the Rainbow Bridge where he was greeted by all our other sweet feline kitties. Sleep soft sweet Bob. Gentle thoughts to all of you who have lost little ones, it helps so much having others out there.

Re: [Felvtalk] Feeling Guilty
I can so sympathise with what you are saying. A couple of weeks ago my vet called me and asked if I could take a positive cat with anemia that he believed there was hope for. I had to tell him no and I am still thinking about that poor cat. The owners were being jerks, refused to have their other cats tested, even though they go outside, and wanted to put this one down immediatly. I don't help anywhere near as many cats as you do but as you say, I wish I could rescue them all. My husband has reached his limit with seven cats and if I took another I know there would be some issues in our marrage. I guess you just have to remember what a difference you have made in the lives of the ones you have rescued.

Re: [Felvtalk] elevated liver enzymes
My Gray Kitty has had increased liver enzymes as well. His went into the
3,000! It was due to the high steroid dosage. As soon as we reduced it, it
has since gone into the 300's. He too was acting normal throughout.

Since my original post Orlando has finished a course of Clavamox. In July his
liver enzyme was 64. In Feb. before the antibiotic it was 191, and last
Saturday it was 224. Not extremely high, but still odd that it is going up.
He is eating normally and acting completely normal. The vet told me to start
giving him vitaman E and Milk Thistle and we will test him again in 6 months.
Meanwhile I will just watch him carefull to make sure his behavior does not
change. At this point the vet is trying to avoid a liver biopsy because his
levels are not that bad and the biopsy is so invasive.

Orlando, my 10 year old FeLV+ began urinating on the bathroom rug just
over a week ago. I figured out who was doing it on Saturday and got him in
to the vet on Monday. They tested his urine and blood and the vet called me
today with the results. She said his liver enzymes are elevated and his
white cell levels are high. She is going to put him on an antibiotic and
re-do the tests in two weeks. (When I asked the name of the anti-biotic she
side stepped the question and just said is is a pill wrapped in foil. I am
currently looking for another vet because there is only one vet in this
practice that I fully trust and it is very hard to get to see him.)
Anyway, can anyone tell me what would make his liver enzymes elevated?
The advise I have gotten on this list has proved to be better then the
advise from this particular vet in the past, so I would very much appreciate
any input.
