I think that the last set of lab results had poor Aphrodite's creatinine at 1094 and her urea at 113.2. Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Marsha Sent: November-27-15 9:46 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Grieving, and need

Lance, a friend told me about this test. Hardy RL. She told me to have the vet take it as it will tell what stage she is in. Takes about 10 days to get results. Maybe it goes by another name? Ironically, the vet took it on her own. I never had to ask for it. I have messaged my friend to

Hi Nancy, I’m not sure about the nodes. I guess it depends on what is causing the swelling. I’ve never heard of the Hardy RL test and a brief google didn’t yield results related to FeLV. What kind of test is it? Lance > On Nov 30, 2015, at 2:32 PM, gidge...@aol.com wrote: > > Kit's fever

Amani, Guilt is part of grieving! We all feel that. She knew how much you loved her and still do. She is never that far away. Like I always say, when one passes, another star is added to the sky watching over us until we meet again. Don't be hard on yourself. Love means everything!

I’m pretty sure that everyone on FeLV-Talk knows more about Winstrol than I do. I hope someone else will take a look at those questions. > On Nov 30, 2015, at 6:18 PM, gidge...@aol.com wrote: > > 5) Could FeLV cause itching? My own experience says “maybe”. Since it affects the immune system,

Hi Nancy I will answer the questions I can. 1. You can use Epogen or Darbeopoetin to increase red cell production but I have no direct experience with either. However, first, I think that the Winstrol acts on the precursor cells in the bone marrow that produce red cells, white cells and
