[Felvtalk] FW: different types of Felv

2016-06-11 Thread Amani Oakley
Ardy Thank you for your nice compliment. I think that the problem is that doctors and vets work in a world where they are well aware of the extreme and potent dangers posed by microorganisms. They presume that the rest of us know it too, but they don’t realize that precisely BECAUSE of the very

Rachel: While I would like, of course, to see more people take the animals that are harder to place, you are hardly to be critiqued for giving a needy animal(s) a home.   I wouldn't take Kittens at my age ( 64) simply because there is a good chance that I would not outlive them ( with curr

See --- if the vets office ever explained anything like what you just did, I would realize the risk is worth it, but they don’t explain things. So you feel the FeLV vaccine is worth doing then? They sort of steered me against it at the store, and the shelter where Topaz came from. Topaz is about

Rachel my dear. You do not disappoint. Kittens need homes too. I have been rescuing for years and years, and every once in a while I too decide it’s time for a kitten. They perk up the whole household and it is a very different experience than with an older cat. But seriously, it’s like picking

My Shorty lost all his hair around the vaccination area. He lost his appetite and was lethargic. He recovered from that , but later died of seisures and stroke. Never again will I geet a cat vacinanated. Ardy Robertson wrote: > Yes – I know. When we moved to our new home 14 years ago,

I agree! I never go looking for another cat, they come to me, through a friend, a vet or just show up at my house. I feed them and I am sunk, they stay. ZI think God is sending me another soul to rescue and a rescue for me. Ardy Robertson wrote: > Rachel – you sound like you are goi

Yes, the two I am looking at are girls as well and look very similar to Tucker. I figure girls have way less of chance for getting blockages. I know I will disappoint a lot of people on here, as well as some friends that do rescue by admitting they are young kitties and not old. I do feel a lot

I strongly disagree. "Killed" (inactivated) vaccines contain adjuvants. Those adjuvants have been implicated in the development of FISS in vaccinated cats. Of course, even non-adjuvanted vaccines have resulted in the same, but the name has been changed from VAS to FISS because it nows seems that AN
