[Felvtalk] Terrie
Dear Terrie, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! Your husband sounded like a lovely person and a real animal lover. And at sixty-four, he was just too young to go! I hope you get many emails from folks who admire your courage and strength in keeping on with all the things you do. You are a very strong person and do so much for the animals!

Re: [Felvtalk] Abbey
I am beginning to think that I have weird cats. They DO NOT like salmon in canned or dry food. Not even Blue Buffalo goes over with them. Their all time favorite is Duck. I wish they had a turkey food because they like that when I boil turkey thighs for them.

I also heard that stomatitis may be related to rodent ulcers in cats.

She is an older cat (Allie) who had it when I acquired her. The few times I've taken her to the vet, she was given an oral antibiotic (because I can't pill her at all) to help with the bacteria and a steroid shot. The antibiotic was Convenia. The steroid shot helps tremendously with their appetite. I also hate to give them any steroids, but the dr. let me know how much pain she may have been in, so I let him give it to her. I have read a possible relationship with it compromising the immune system, so I probably wouldn't give it to a + cat. Now what I do personally for her is give her Petzlife Oral Gel. It is only when I stop giving her the gel that she has problems with the stomatitus. If I stop for a while, thinking she is fine, she will suddenly stop eating and sometimes throwup a yellow or green liquid. So, I have learned to keep up with the gel, and currently I am giving it to her every night, putting a little on my finger and rubbing it on her top front teeth. I am just amazed how this stuff works! It has grapefruit seed extract in it that helps keep the bacteria down. I buy it online, just google it. It is less than $20, and lasts a long long time. This stuff also helped my felv+ kitty who had a terrible mouth when I got her. I didn't know lysine would be good for stomatitus, have doubts about that, but I have heard of the bovine lactoferrin. Actually my vet is currently looking into that for me as far as cost goes and as a last resort in case the oral gel stops working for her in the future. So please try the Petzlife, it works for Allie! Good luck, Tracey On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 2:11 PM, Mary Lou jerseydevil1...@yahoo.com wrote: Okay guys we need your help big time. Abbey is felu and fel imun positive. She has stomatitis. Had 14 teeth, roots and all removed 2 wks ago. Mouth greatly improved but not all - in the back between upper and lower still red. Not on any meds for now. She will not lick lysine. Am going to try to water down lysine and get it in her or spread pill powder and mix in food. Would mixing bovine interferon maybe help? I am frantic to help her. She does not deserve this. Cannot pill. Feeding watered down a/d or baby food or fancy feast. She has a great appetite until she hits her sore area with a piece of food. She has 10 days til she goes back to the vet. He is thinking about steriods. Any ideas of what to do? I really don't want to put her on steriods unless nothing else to do. She is the baby that was dumped by my great neighbors and they moved leaving her outside with no food or water or anywhere to sleep unless she crawled under the slab of their house. Abbey is the sweetest loving black cat. We apreciate any help you can offer.

Re: [Felvtalk] New Member
This is a bit late, but more power to you for taking on all these guys. I have 7 in my present pride and they are all inside at night and outside for an hour or two on nice days when I am home. May be some changes due soon if I get a job to help pay my bills. Will be interesting to see how they adjust to my being gone all day 5 days runningand they haveto be in all day. They may get on each other's nerves, in particular the 2 kittens (1yr old) who feel it is their job toaggrevate the older girls.

This is a great place to get advice and just pass along information. FeLV + kitties can live good lives, some short, some long, some of them with few, if any symptoms. kind of like Typhoid Mary.

Can I answer on the board or do I have to send a e-mail each time. Over last summer, there was an abandoned foreclosure house next door to me. Well, in the hole of the fence, these 2 little faces kept popping their heads threw the hole. Turns out they were kittens born in March 2010 from a feral mother cat. I feed them over the summer and finally made friends with the kittens. I bought a small dog house they could eat without getting soaked in the rain, snow etc. I finally TRN them in Sept. One is a healthy Gray Tiger one which I call Hello. The other is a small black and white which I call Hello Kitty. they were both males. The black and white seemed to eat alot less, very skiddish, not as friendly. The tiger one is a big mouth meow, meow, hey here I am. They are so bonded, so close. The tiger one seems to mother the Hello Kitty on all terms, watching out for him, washing him. Well, over this bad snow, cold winter the black and white came down sick, I grabbed him FAST and set up a cage in the house. Took him to the vet, he was on antibodics. Turns out he is Positive with FeLV. Since I never took care of ferals in my life, this is all new to me and a bit overwhelming. So we now have the black and white kitten (11 months old now) in the house since Feb 14th and on: Prednisolone (1 pill a day) Chinese Herbs Immune enhancer (2 caps a day) EFA vitamin and mineral supplement (1/4 teaspoon mixed with food) Fellovite II (1/4 teaspoon or lick right from finger, which he does) I also have the tiger one in the house and he was vaccinated from the FeLV. so hopefully it works, cause I can not separate them at all. I am also feeding other ferals outside. (The cats must look for houseLOL) Steroid: Big male black and white, he looks like his ear is tipped Bobcat: pure black one shows up in the dark, in and out. Has a bunny rabbit tail V: gray male tiger, who's been missing since Long Island snow storm this Feb Red: Male just showed up the past 2 weeks, Friendly, but not neurterd The Mama CAT: caught her in Oct and TNR.

Charles, they don't have to look for your house. They have a gossip line that is superior to ours.
