Re: [Felvtalk] Intro
The odd thing is I didn't do anything special because I had no idea what this diagnosis meant at that time! I even had them vaccinated for feline leukemia every year (makes me wonder about the vet!). Stripes was treated with antibiotics every time he got sick. He nearly died from an injection the vet gave him once (he couldn't walk after) but he rallied. Mostly I loved them and provided a mostly stress free environment. I fed them Natural Choice and later Science Diet CD to Squeaky. They even ate Meow Mix and canned Friskies before I knew NOT to feed MM. The vet thought Squeaky was a "carrier" and carried the virus in his bone marrow. When I considered a companion for Squeaky after Stripes died, the vet never told me of any risk for a new kitty Not sure if this is any help at all other than to say that some kitties do well no matter what we do!

Re: [Felvtalk] Intro
Welcome Nortina, You have already received some good advise. There is a mix of positive and negative cats in my home. My positives are relatively young with the oldest two approx 1 1/2 yrs old. Like McFluffins, love the name, they are rescues. My negative kitties have been vaccinated. I did not mix them until the negatives received their follow up 30 day booster. Could you keep McFluffins in a separate bedroom until Jasper gets his booster? Thanks for giving McFluffins a 2nd chance.

Re: [Felvtalk] Intro
I can't tell you much about the seperation part as I only have the one cat, and have never had one before this one. I just want to put in my 2 cents for the idea that FeLv+ cats can live very happy lives. I have one that I've had for 2 years. he may get sick tomorrow, and he has been sick with a few things over the last 2 years but he's a happy kitty that wouldn't be here if I hadn't taken him in or had put him down when the first vet told me to.

Re: [Felvtalk] Intro
This is a great group, glad you're here. It is unlikely that a healthy adult cat will pick up FELV through casual contact, in my own opinion. However, since this is a new cat, might as well go ahead and separate - it's a polite way to introduce them. But I know several people who mix their FELV with the non-FELV, have had them rechecked, and no transmission. I have mixed mine at times and had no problems. When I first acquired an FELV cat I was indeed paranoid, but after a while, and with a great group iike this, I learned more about it and became less paranoid. I do give interferon alpha to the FELV kitties if they're under 3-4 years old. I have 2 felv kitties that are 12-14 years old - need to retest, just hate to stress them out. :) Gloria On Apr 27, 2009, at 11:14 AM, Laurieskatz wrote: I would keep them separated for the 30 days.

Judy, I just noticed that your kitty is having breathing problems. That worried me. In all of my treatments for FeLV, I use Transfer Factor Plus in addition to other supportive treatments depending upon the symptoms .You can do what you want, but the only reason that I paid the money and became a distributor was so that I could order it at wholesale. I was using it on multiple species and with the amount that I was using it just made sense to pay the money to become a distributor to get it wholesale. (By the way, I and my 84 yr old cancer surviving mother who mows 2 acres of grass with a push mower and rakes it by hand both take it.) I have seen great improvement in surrounding cardiac fluid decrease, liver and kidney malady fluid problems remedied with the treatment of TF (all of which can cause breathing difficulties and fluid build-up around the lungs and heart). I can't go into the trials I have done tonight because I have 2 mares ready to foal. I would suggest your kitty to take one Transfer Plus Nano Factor/day. Hopefully it will decrease the fluid about the lung and heart. My ID number is 6109801 and the company's toll free number is 888-454-3374 . I would also suggest that you buy some fresh chicken livers and slow cook them on a low heat until the outsides appear cookedleave the centers a bit pink. Use the water from the cooking as drinking water for your cat and feed the livers as best you can. (Whole, chopped, mashed.) Maybe need to mash them, cut them up, etc. Whatever, put all water and livers in a closed container for further feeding, to decrease O2 from mixing. The boiled water will have better hydrating effects, as we used to call it'Heavy Water"...Will have increased hydration plus increased iron content. Put this for drinking water separately or over anything the cat will eat to help the anemia and fluid replenishment. Feed the liver as best you can, (In addition to the Nutrical) and as needed sub/cut Lactated Ringers (previous email). If your kitty resumes appetite, I am a big fan of a raw diet (I can send recipes if that occurs), as this is what nature gave the feline for the best immune support. Keep in mindeven the Wal-mart diet food, if that is what your cat wants to eat is great. Food in any form is good! What ever the cat will eat is great. Don't worry about this diet or that. (And that is from an Animal Nutritionist.) Just get the cat to eat something it will eat. Good luck, and good eating to your feline friend. Karen Griffith 740-992-5782 P.S.
