 A funny story- my husband suddenly decided that he would feed a raw diet 
 to the cats
 and invested a lot of money in meat and supplements according to a good 
 recipe he found.
 
 Not one cat out of about 12 would touch it. Turns out he had purchased (a 
 big!) bottle of lemon-flavored
 fish oil to put in it I don't think they liked the lemony freshness!

[Felvtalk] Bridget - new positive kitten - questions about treatment

2009-11-20 Thread LauraM
My Bridget - about 7 months old - has tested positive for FeLV. Someone a while 
back had mentioned a treatment she'd been using on a litter of positive kittens 
with good results. My vet, bless him, is willing to try new treatments - he 
sees a lot of FeLV in his practice - so I'd love to know what this is and where 
we can get it.
Bridget's brother, Chutney, passed away suddenly after Halloween and he'd 
tested negative just 6 weeks previously.
Poor Bridget will be joining the tough positive crowd (all asymptomatic) in my 
garage (I keep tortoises in it so it's heated and very comfortable):  Sunbeam, 
Baby Girl, Celery and Majestic. Plus she'll meet a couple of 50 pound tortoises!
Any help would be most appreciated!
thanks!
Laura and Bridget

Re: [Felvtalk] advice on kitty's loose tooth

2009-11-20 Thread Caroline Kaufmann

I have a non-positive (just a regular old cat- except that he was my first 
foster and has literally helped foster every cat I have taken in!) that is 
missing a little tooth on his bottom jaw and another is barely hanging on.  
It's always been like that- he's only 2.  Don't know when he lost it.  But he 
was 2 months when I acquired him as a very sickly, kill animal shelter rescue 
brought into a no kill rescue, with exposure to everything probably.  Started 
his life on antibiotics and fighting a recurring upper respiratory infection.  
I eventually fostered and lost 3 other kittens rescued along with him that 
separately all succumbed to FIP (1 to wet, 2 to dry).  Anyway, my boy has no 
gum disease whatsoever but his vet said it's highly likely he could lose all 
teeth before middle age.  Just due to a rough start in life.  It seems to make 
sense that- altho he's a healthy horse now- when his milk teeth were falling 
out and being replaced with his adult teeth- he was at his sickest, not getting 
nutrition, etc., so those adult teeth were not being formed in the best 
possible circumstances.  My vet said this is actually more common than you 
would think in cats who didn't get adequate COLOSTRUM from their mother through 
nursing, if any at all :(  (this would also be why I love my vet so much-- b/c 
he talks about colostrum and how important it is!).  And remember that all cats 
have milk teeth they lose naturally and most actually swallow them-- which is 
totally fine and natural.  Altho I did find one of my newest kitten's milk 
canine on the bed and I felt like I had found a buried treasure!  After having 
so many cats in my life-- kittens, fosters, geriatrics!, this was the first 
tooth I ever actually found  Anyway, I guess my point is that the process 
of cats losing their teeth for whatever reason, whether it's milk teeth, or due 
to gingivitis, if it's not actually affecting the cat as far as eating and what 
not, it's a much more natural process that occurs more than we know (geriatrics 
regularly lose teeth even if you've kept up with their regular teeth cleaning). 
 It's a much more natural process than us losing our teeth!  And with a 
positive cat, truly the main thing is to minimize their stress-- it's the 
golden rule of having a positive.  So assuming no detrimental effects of 
letting nature take it's course, I would advocate leaving the teeth alone (of 
course, following vet's advice for cleaning and treating an active infection).  
I personally would avoid having a positive's teeth pulled as much as possible.  
As even avoiding anesthetic if you can in a positive is important.  The process 
of losing teeth for cats is not a big event like for us so I don't think we 
should do anything to turn it into a stressful event for them! 

 

That's my two cents.

Consider using PetzLife Brush Away or an additive to the cat's water  
that helps with teeth too since the cat has a history of dental

Re: [Felvtalk] Bridget - new positive kitten - questions about treatment

2009-11-20 Thread jbero tds.net
Laura,

I am glad to hear your vet is willing to try something.  It is so hard to
watch these healthy young beautiful felv kittens and cats deteriorate so
rapidly and die.

The treatments I am aware of include interferon - an oral preparation most
vets are familiar with and cheap, LTCI (an immunomodulator produced by
Imulan, it is a subcutaneous injection - you can check their website and
contact them or have your vet do so), Acemannan or ambotrose (either a
intraperitoneal injection or oral supplement made by Mannetech I believe is
their name you can google ambotrose).  I have heard that early on in the
disease high dose iv vitamin c can change viral status.  Other holistic
approaches/alternative meds include Wei Qi Booster (chinese herbal) and raw
diet.   There are other things out there, but I am not too familiar with
them, a group A strep product (it's a bacterial derivative tried in the past
with some success, but I haven't seen or heard much recently about it)

You really have 50 pound tortoises, wow, that's something else.  That is a
world I am utterly unfamiliar with.  Do they all get along?

Well good luck and God bless.  If you need any more specifics just let me
know.

[Felvtalk] re loose teeth- but not really

2009-11-20 Thread Caroline Kaufmann

I think my message was too long with the threads prior, so I am re-posting only 
it.  

 

Of course I am still around!  Busy with work tho mostly :( I'm on Facebook with 
a lot of felv members and that's how I mostly keep up with them.  
 
I also violated all the rules and became a traitor- rescuing and keeping a 
monster dog I found abandoned near my work.  And horror of horrors...are you 
ready for this?  I don't think you are!  He's likely a pit, rott mix and 
started out as a clear predator.  And here I am with cats.  And he was like, 
yummy, mommy filled her house with prey!  I took him in in March and the first 
6 mths of my becoming a dog person was HELL ON EARTH!  I prayed to Monkee every 
night!  He sucked up all of my non-work time, so in no way did I feel it was 
right or fair to bring any fosters into the house until I had the beast more 
de-sensitized to cats and I already felt like I was neglecting my Yoda cat.  
And I had no time for fosters anyway b/c the 48 lbs of shear muscle required 
his daily runs, weekend trips to the park for trail running, taking him to 
obedience classes, tons of at home training and working to integrate him with 
my moms dogs and by integrate- I really mean, not kill my moms dogs, and time 
spooning his mommy on the couch.  All in all, it was the hardest thing I have 
ever done...become a real dog person.  Actually I pretty much became a dog 
trainer.  I had to!  I named him Normandee (Normandy)- the double ee a 
tribute to The Monkee of course.  As horrible as that all sounds, he's never 
gotten a cat, the cats are fine with him, he's pretty de-sensitized to them but 
we have some more work to do as new cats to him-- it's like, oh I can't eat 
mommy's cat, but that one is for me! And it's not like me, Normandee and Yoda 
are all spooning together on the couch or anything. UGH.  Cats are so much 
easier-- and this is coming from someone who had four die in my arms...I mean 
really.  I have told Normandee not to ever make me chose b/c he will lose 
out!  He took that to heart and has done nothing but accept the structure and 
training with undying love.  It honestly surprises even me when I look back on 
how much I have accomplished with this dog and to realize that nothing is 
impossible.  Our dog trainer is always singing my praises because she admits 
that even she wouldn't have taken on a dog like him, but the turn-around I have 
worked so hard for is nothing short of amazing.  
 
Now that the beasty is under control, I have a brand spanking new foster cat 
(after not fostering for a year)...a white and black female tuxie-- similar 
markings to Monkee.  She's been living outside and had a tipped ear so I knew 
she'd been spayed by likely the fix-only and re-release group so I was on pins 
and needles when she went for vetting.  I think me, the vet and the tech were 
all scared of the results since she had been outside and only fixed...the 
chances of a positive test are so much higher.  And for me, gosh, I was having 
flash backs to Monkee's first vet visit b/c her markings are so like his...and 
the vet's face when she came back in the room and I just started crying, I was 
like, I can't go through this again with a cat that looks like him!  
Thankfully, all her tests are negative!!!  Now I just have to work on the 
slow introduction to my two monsters- Yoda and his adopted brother Smokey that 
I took in in August when my best friend found two kittens in her garage, she 
kept one, despite being allergic to cats and I agreed to foster Smokey to 
adoption but I don't believe neither Yoda or I can part with him now.  They are 
my Yin and Yang.  And I felt bad for Yoda living the life of the cat that 
fosters other cats and becoming best friends with fosters, only to have them 
either die or be adopted!  I felt bad for his revolving door life.  Smokey is 
still a kitten so I have not yet neutered him and he is an alpha male like no 
other.  The dogs are afraid of him (ironically, that includes the beast dog)!  
 
So I will end 2009 with NO losses-- be it due to felv, fip or beast dog-- and 
knowing I saved 4 lives this year (3 cats, and 1 dog from hell), and got one 
kitten adopted without even lifting a finger other than to type a few emails 
(one of my foster's parent's saw a kitten on the rescue site and wanted my help 
connecting her with the powers that be to adopt her)...and I have to say it 
feels really good!!!  Monkee works in the most mysterious ways.  I 
have learned to just go with it and not question it too much.  How else would I 
end up with a pit/rott, gargoyle-looking, mommy's-baby dog!?   
 
I hope everyone is doing well.  Find me on facebook if you are on there!

[Felvtalk] Angelica's miracle comeback from FIP and how it occurred

2009-11-20 Thread S. Jewell
For those of you who saw my earlier post about my kitten
Angelica and have wondered how vitamin C could have possibly
saved her from FIP, I thought that perhaps the information
below would help to explain it and convince others to try
this highly effective and completely benign treatment for
infections and viruses in their own cats.  

 

According to the pioneer in vitamin C research Dr. Fred
Klenner, vitamin C intravenously works as an oxidizing agent
in massive amounts, i.e., 5-150 grams, for certain
pathological conditions), and neutralizes toxins, viruses
and histamine.  The more serious the condition, the more C
is required.  

 

The ascorbic acid enters all cells and proceeds to take up
the protein coats being manufactured by the virus nucleic
acid, thus preventing the assembly of new virus units.
Cells expand, rupture and die, but there are no virus
particles available to enter and infect new cells. If a
virus has invaded a cell, the Vitamin C contributes to its
breakdown to adenosine deaminase, which converts adenosine
to inosine. Purines are formed which are catabolized (broken
down) and cannot be used to make more virus nucleic acid.  

 

Viral nucleic acid has a protein coat which protects this
parasite as it rides the blood or lymph highway to gain
specific cell entry. It is possible that if the ascorbic
acid can remove that protective protein coat in the blood
stream or in the cells, the white cell phagocytes and immune
globulin could then neutralize these vulnerable virus
particles.

 

Ascorbic acid also joins with the available virus protein,
making a new macromolecule which acts as the repressor
factor (interferon?) and multiplication of new virus bodies
is inhibited.

 

Anyway, Angelica is home tonight - no fever, eating like a
pig, and playing with her remaining brother Tommy.  Today
was her last drip and tonight you would never know she had
been sick.  FINALLY with the help of my progressive and most
helpful vet  were able to save one of our cats thanks to the
miracle of vitamin C! If only I had gotten Chuckie on the
drip sooner he would likely still be alive.  

 

It breaks my heart to see my remaining two kittens playing
together now without Chuckie, though I will always smile and
think of him when I look at our miracle girl Angelica, for
he paid the ultimate price to save his sister.  Because of
Chuckie I knew just what to do and what NOT to do to save
Angelica, so he did not die in vain.  

 

Anyway, I thought this might help clarify why and how the
intravenous vitamin C works on these viruses and pathogens.
Few cats ever survive FIP but thanks to Wendell Belfield,
DVM,  Linus Pauling and the great vitamin C pioneers before
them, mine did, and I will be forever grateful.  :-)   If
you need more information or have questions about Angelica's
treatment, feel free to ask.

infections and viruses in their own cats.  

 

According to the pioneer in vitamin C research Dr. Fred
Klenner, vitamin C intravenously works as an oxidizing agent
in massive amounts, i.e., 5-150 grams, for certain
pathological conditions), and neutralizes toxins, viruses
and histamine.  The more serious the condition, the more C
is required.  

 

The ascorbic acid enters all cells and proceeds to take up
the protein coats being manufactured by the virus nucleic
acid, thus preventing the assembly of new virus units.
Cells expand, rupture and die, but there are no virus
particles available to enter and infect new cells. If a
virus has invaded a cell, the Vitamin C contributes to its
breakdown to adenosine deaminase, which converts adenosine
to inosine. Purines are formed which are catabolized (broken
down) and cannot be used to make more virus nucleic acid.  

 

Viral nucleic acid has a protein coat which protects this
parasite as it rides the blood or lymph highway to gain
specific cell entry. It is possible that if the ascorbic
acid can remove that protective protein coat in the blood
stream or in the cells, the white cell phagocytes and immune
globulin could then neutralize these vulnerable virus
particles.

 

Ascorbic acid also joins with the available virus protein,
making a new macromolecule which acts as the repressor
factor (interferon?) and multiplication of new virus bodies
is inhibited.

 

Anyway, Angelica is home tonight - no fever, eating like a
pig, and playing with her remaining brother Tommy.  Today
was her last drip and tonight you would never know she had
been sick.  FINALLY with the help of my progressive and most
helpful vet  were able to save one of our cats thanks to the
miracle of vitamin C! If only I had gotten Chuckie on the
drip sooner he would likely still be alive.  

 

It breaks my heart to see my remaining two kittens playing
together now without Chuckie, though I will always smile and
think of him when I look at our miracle girl Angelica, for
he paid the ultimate price to save his sister.  Because of
Chuckie I knew just what to do and what NOT to do to save
Angelica, so he did not die in vain.  

 

Anyway, I thought this might help clarify why and how the
intravenous vitamin C works on these viruses and pathogens.
Few cats ever survive FIP but thanks to Wendell Belfield,
DVM,  Linus Pauling and the great vitamin C pioneers before
them, mine did, and I will be forever grateful.  :-)   If
you need more information or have questions about Angelica's
treatment, feel free to ask.
