Re: [Felvtalk] Mixing FelV pos. neg

2013-04-20 Thread Lorrie
Many of us have done this, and the cats have a better chance at
not getting the virus if vaccinated, but what is so amazing is a
lot older cats (meaning not kittens) can be mixed with positives
and still remain negative. I have seen this many times.

Hang in there Cheri, It isn't always a death sentence to a cat, 
and this group is a wonderful help.

 Please tell me that other people have vaccinated and intermingled. This is
 another decision I recently made.

Re: [Felvtalk] Lethargic

2013-04-20 Thread Lorrie
Several of my FelV cats started out lethargic and then progressing on to
sickness.  However this does NOT mean your kitty is getting worse.  She may
just be having an off day and feeling tired.  Check her gums for anemia. Are
they nice and pink or more grayish white?  Is she eating  drinking?  If she
is not better by Monday I'd take her to the vet.  With sick FelV cats it is
best to catch problems early.  The retrovirus cannot be cured but other
problems resulting from weakening of the immune system can usually be cured.

 Hi everyone,
 Need some advice and help.
 Kitty, our 10 months old FeLV positive cat is wonderful, very active and 
 playful.
 Since last night, she has been laying out more than usual and today she spent 
 most of the day just laying on the bed and not being very active.
 Are these signs I really need to be concerned about or just a little 
 tiredness?
 It's Friday and I would hate for her to deteriorate over the weekend,
