[Felvtalk] Tora maybe got the beginnings of lymphoma
Hi all, I went to the vets with tora last week for a check up before getting him neutered and his lymp nodes under his jaw were still swollen from his FeLV related stomatitis. The vet gave us some antibiotics for one week, when we went back yesterday his lymp nodes in his neck were a tiny bit better but one lymp node in his back left leg is swollen, which wasn't swollen last week!! He hasn't got a fever and he hasn't lost any weight, though he's always been slim. We suspect it to be the begining of lymphoma, I will take him in tomorrow for interferon injection x 5 days in a row, will it help? it did last time when he only had the neck lymp nodes swollen. I want to start something natural to help slow down the growth. I already am adding CoQ10, DMG, immunoplex to his diet, he's been on a raw diet since last December, I also added Mega C plus ,My husband is also doing accupunture for him, Is there anything else that I can try? what has worked for your kitties? My husband told me to try ginseng, the korean one , which I mixed with liquid organic royal jelly and some water, has anyone tried that? tora doesn't act sick, he runs around with his siblings and and while outside dueing the day in the garden will often catch birds. i wanted to get him neutered, but the vet doesn't think it's a good time, what shall I do? wait? any advice would be greatly appreciated!! hugs and purrs Amanda and the 3 tabby cats and Angel Silver chan. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Tora maybe got the beginnings of lymphoma
Hi Amanda My kittie had very swollen glands when we first got her. It took quite awhile for them to return to normal. I do not remember exactly how long it took, but it must have been several months before they were completely normal. They were in her neck and were very enlarged (the size of walnuts). She too has stomatitis. Our vet used antibiotics and we got her on a good diet and used DMG, l-lysine, Transfer Factor, and anything that we could think of to help her immune system. That was over two years ago. She is still thin, and her mouth fluctuates from inflamed to almost normal, but she eats well, is energetic and is living ( as I perceive her) a happy, contented life. It sounds as if you are doing everything you can to help Tora. I think that your vet is right about waiting to neuter him. That would be a stress that he doesn't seem up to. I hope that you are dealing with an infection and not lymphoma. We had no idea what we were facing and it took time for her to recover. I hope that Tora will recover too. Please keep us posted.

[Felvtalk] Has anyone here used Vetricine for immune boosting
My Miniature Schnauzer has a host of things wrong with her.? She's on Vetricine to boost her immune system.? Since General won't eat his food with the immune support stuff in it I've been sprinkling Vetricine on it along with his lysine and he loves it.? Apparently vetricine tastes better than the immune support pills.? I've read about vetricine and I assume that it's ok for cats but I wondered if anyone else uses it or has heard of it.? It's a white powder.? And I've about given up on the interferon because he just gets so low when he takes it, after 3 days of it he's throwing up, not eating and hiding in the bedroom.

Re: [Felvtalk] OT - will kittens born to mom with URI have URI?
URIs in a mother can certainly be transmitted to the kittens after birth. It depends on the phase of infection the mother is in. If she is infectious when the kittens are born, certainly transmission is possible. If the infection is resolving, she will be less likely to transmit disease and will often have a good immune response that will be conferred to the young through her breast milk. With respect to the URI being transmitted prior to birth. This is unlikely. URIs are generally passed from one cat to another through either inhalation or direct contact. Therefore, the young will not be born with URIs. (It could, however, be transmitted this way after birth as mother and young are in very close contact) The concern that I would have, however, is if the mother has a systemic infection (involving the blood stream) that could be transmitted to the young while in utero. If it clinically just looks like a URI (runny nose, sneeze, cough, runny eyes, pussy or purulent discharge) I would be less concerned, If, on the other hand, she has a high fever, is lethargic and not eating, I would be more concerned. Either way, I would recommend treating the mom with something that can be safely used during pregnancy. Good luck.

[Felvtalk] questions about how to handle an felv+/non-symptomatic cat
hey guys, i've been lurking around here for a little while, gleaning what info i can -- you all are such a great source of info about this disease and i'm so glad i found this mailing list. here's my story: finley, a little gray tabby male, started showing up outside our loft window last june. we lived right downtown, a block away from the freeway, so we were very nervous for his safety. we fed him consistently until we moved in august. we moved to a quiet neighborhood with TONS of feral cats, so we trapped him and brought him along with us. he was as feral as feral can be ... so we kept him separated from our cats in a back bedroom. at the end of september, he finally fell for the trap again and we were able to get him in to be neutered + tested. he tested negative at that time. we continued to keep him locked away and work on domesticating him -- meanwhile, we let him play footsie with our 7 cats under the door and we did let him outside a total of 3 more times, thinking he could possibly fit in with the feral family living on our block. however, we heard a few fights on nights when he was out and we really were attached to him, so we decided to make him indoor only. our vet suggested having him tested again before introductions. he tested felv+ on 2 tests on valentine's day. we tested 2 of our kittens that had had some small interactions with him, and luckily they were negative. we tested finley again, 8 weeks later, on thursday, april 9th. he is still positive, although the vet showed me the test and i *thought* the positive dot looked lighter than i would expect. i really am interested in trying LTCI because it sounds so promising and i'd like to give finley every chance possible. he is totally and completely asymptomatic, and i'm guessing he contracted the disease sometime in october or november. i mean, this cat has never even had a crust in his eyes! he's had 2 small bouts of diarrhea, but i'm nearly positive those were caused by a fishy flavor of food. the diarrhea cleared immediately with some fiber + probiotic and we do not feed him those flavors anymore. our vet looked into LTCI, interferon, and acemann and felt neither were proven to help with anything. he also said that these drugs are meant for + cats with symptoms of the disease already. he also says the virus can never be faught off. he also has no experience treating felv, however. someone please help me! can you guys tell me that there is a chance finley could still fight this virus? i'm going to start researching to find a vet that knows more about the disease -- i live in the kansas city area, if anyone has any suggestions? what else do you guys think i should try? lysine? vitamin c? also, has anyone on this list successfully kicked the disease? i have a friend of a friend that did nothing special for their cat, but he supposedly became negative after 3 years ... does that happen often? many many thanks in advance for your help. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] OT - will kittens born to mom with URI have URI?
Thanks Jenny! The babies were born on Easter (5 of them). The only symptoms the mama has are: she is hoarse when she purrs and she sounds like she is swallowing mucous sometimes. Foster mom started L Lysine on Monday. She is keeping a close eye (she had a mama and litter last summer for whom she had to syringe feed because of severe URI). Fortunately she is a nurse. Btw these are cats that come into a no kill shelter ready to deliver. My friend takes about one mom each year and finds homes for everyone, too. She is a angel! I will share your email with her.

Re: [Felvtalk] OT TNR ordinance
I found it here you go: FERAL CAT ORDINANCE OF BREVARD COUNTY AS OF 2001 SECTION 4 Sec. 14-64. Feral animals and feral cat colonies. (a) The County may establish a fund or provide services to offset costs of trapping, neutering and vaccinating captured feral cats that can be returned to an appropriate, controlled, and registered colony site. Caregivers for such colonies, whether one or several animals, will be aided by the County in properly managing and caring for those colonies, to the extent that funding is available.

[Felvtalk] My baby boy Spatz
Hello, I'm hoping someone here can give us some information or insight. Our little tuxedo boy is 8 years old and has been healthy until recently.? He started hiding out and just not acting his usual sweet self, so we took him to the doc.? He was given antibiotics for a week and still not well - better, but not well.? His blood tests showed severe anemia..so blood transfusion, more antibiotics and prednisone.? We were sent to a specialist, who tested and got a weak positve for FELV.? Retest showed positive, so now we're struggling with whether to try interferon (our vet has not had good results) or LTCI (Imulan).? Does anyone have feedback regarding LTCI?? We're willing to try it, but don't want to make our boy go through more injections if the outcome is just survival, we want him to have a good life, you know? The weird thing is, he has had the FELV vaccines, and tested negative in 2004.? Our other boy is 12 years old and negative, but we hate keeping them apart.? I'm so glad I found this forum, I'm just torn up about what to do next and felt there was nowhere to turn. Thank you all!
