Sounds like good news that Lucy is gaining weight and feeling good
during the day. Lucy is in my prayers.
I have an idea of how you feel. Ember has had intermittent diarrhea
for almost the last two weeks. I haven't done much to curb it, other
than fast her early on, and I've taken away free
d a messy, unformed poop in the box, and some pancake batter in
the sink. I'm just glad that she's eating and playing normally.

guests for dinner downstairs and some slightly off hours due to
Christmas. Still, I'd be surprised if stress was causing this. I'm
going to call my vet tomorrow, but I'd appreciate any thoughts or
opinions anyone here might offer.
Thanks,
Lance

If it's been several days since your kitty has had a proper bowel
movement, you may want to call you vet to get his or her advice.
Lance
I checked in to specifically find out how Bandy was doing. I'm
saddened to find that he has passed on. You will be in my prayers,
Kerry.
Lance
I'm so sorry to see that Tiny has passed. You will be in my prayers,
Sally. Please take care.
Lance
Bandy is in my prayers, Kerry. I hope he gets better very soon.
Lance
I'm sorry to hear that Whitey is feeling bad after his surgery. As
with other recent ill list-cats, he will be in my prayers. I hope
he's better enough to have a fine holiday. Bless you and all of your
furkids.
Lance
Thanks for letting us know how Emily is doing. She looks so sweet.
I'll be praying for her.

I've always understood that low dose (7 days on/7 days off, etc.)
interferon alpha doesn't produce resistance. High dose interferon
alpha, which I don't think I've read of anyone on the list using,
DOES produce resistance at around 7 weeks of treatment. Low dose
seems to be the better way t
for you.
Lance
I just wanted to let you know that Pepper died a few hours ago. He
started getting better with this current episode but was not so good
earlier today.
I was not expecting him to go so suddenly. I was not at home at the
time so not sure what happened.
I want to thank everyone

time, so we missed a few doses. She's back on the five on/five off
protocol.
Just an FYI.

difficult the test results are to hear, but there really are options

THAT'S GREAT! I was thinking about you and all your kitties earlier,
praying that Angelica would be okay. I'm so glad that she is.

Prayers for Inky and Bandy. I hope the next update brings good news.
Bless you all.

I hate hearing stories like this. Definitely relay your concerns to
animal control and/or the police. If you're going to put fliers up,
do NOT mention this guy's name. Sounds like he's trouble enough
without getting the idea that he needs to get a lawsuit going. And a
pit bull is actually a
on/seven
off protocol, or do they give it every day?
Lance
ugh they sound a little hit or miss. I'll try 'em for $5. Would I
be better off trying something else? I'm already syringing interferon
alpha and Liquid DMG, and I'd rather not put her through another
battery of daily syringings. I don't think that's a word, but it
sounds kinda cool.
Thanks,
Lance
Susan,
That was a very moving post. Bessie, Stinky and Daisy were lucky to
have spent time with you. I'll be praying for Valley.
Lance
Hideyo,
I'll pray and also send some good vibes to Pete so he'll be looking
into your eyes soon. I was very sad to read about Olive. I so hope
things start looking up for you and your kitties, starting with
Little Pete.
Lance
I'm so sorry, Hideyo. She was and is a very strong soul. I think a
lot of that has to have come from the love that you gave her. Thank
you for relaying that touching story. I'll be praying for you and
Simba and all of your kitties during this sad time. Take care.
Lance
t I want the vet to be able to test for whatever he's looking for.
Thanks,
Lance
something to talk to your own
vet about when deciding how to give IR. I certainly don't mean to
worry anyone who has already done IR sub-q. Just wanted to report
back what my own vet thinks. I really trust him, and, should we have
to go the IR route, I think I'll take Ember to the clinic.
Lance
Terry,
It really saddened me to read of Dukee's passing. It seemed as if he
was going to rally and make it. I hope you are comforted by those
around you who share your loss, and by the knowledge that you did all
you could. Thank you.
Lance

Dharma, as I have been for the last few days. Be good to yourself.

Can't imagine why liquids would be a problem. I'm fairly sure I've

One of our cats (who had no problems that we ever knew of, and lived
to be 17) used to sleep with her head pressed into the top of my
mom's big lounge chair. I think she didn't like the light in that
particular room. Does Dharma seem comfortable?

Hi Maggie,I'm sorry to hear that Izzie tested positive. I don't have a lot of experience with FeLV+ cats, other than my kitty and my mom's cat, though I have heard that it's possible for a cat to throw off the virus. I'm not a vet, so my opinions don't count for much. However, it'd be good to get b

I was very sad to read about Miss Kitty's passing. You helped her and
her kids out, when many would not have done the same. I think there
are people who are wont to give in to treating animals like
appliances, and if the cat "doesn't work" then they take it back or
get rid of it. Possibly a

Felidae a long time ago, but she just doesn't like it as much as the IE.

Hi Ashleigh,
Maybe you could syringe dose her, mixing the Mega C in with broth or
spring water? I know nothing about the particulars. Hopefully someone
on the list has used this method before. Good luck to you and Bella.
Lance
promising thing

all started on Thursday. She's been behaving normally, so that would
seem to be good.
Oh, how I wish I could work at home!

and remain positive. Even if she's younger than that and not in great
health, it sounds like she didn't have any close interaction with the
kittens. That's my lay-person's opinion. I hope you're able to find
homes for the kittens.
Lance
e. You and people like you are the ones who provide for them and
love them as they deserve. You do everything you can to save,
comfort, protect and nourish them. Thank you.
Lance
Great news about MK! You definitely should be proud if she can take
those abdominal shots. I'm pretty sure she's tougher than me. Icing
on the cake to have her attain the title of "Pet of the Month."
As for donations for testing treatments, I've wondered about this
myself. I joined up with
on a damp paper towel to see if it exhibited a red halo
when wet. I think Mattie has been all brushed off, though, so we
can't perform that particular check.
I'm hoping to find gentler options for keeping Ember flea-free in the
future.
Lance
Ember seems to be doing well. I've fed her some Felidae canned, and
she's also been at her water bowl once or twice. She's definitely
back to being talkative and busy. Wow. It's scary when their behavior
changes radically, especially when, as in Ember's case, their
behavior is usually very
then we'll figure out if she
needs anymore of them from there. She also doesn't get food for a
bit, and the dry food is out of the picture for a bit longer than the
canned. Ember seems to be acting much closer to normal. I'm still
watchful and concerned, and I will be until all's clear.
Lance
x27;t know what she can do. Since Ember's felv+, I really want
to keep all the stress off of her that I can. I don't see any way
around going to the vet, though.
I ask your prayers for Ember, that she will get over this easily and
feel better tomorrow, and that this will not cause any problems in
her overall health.
Thank you,
Lance
Oh well. We just treated Ember. I decided to take the plunge, after
reading some things about the Frontline and Advantage on the web. It
actually ended up being Advantage that we have, so that's what Ember
got a dose of. Hopefully this will give her protection while we sort
out whether or n
One of our dogs has the tell-tale little black "nits" in the fur on

how bad that stuff is. It seems like, with the premium they charge,

Glad to hear that Bella's doing well. Please continue to keep us posted.

anything is going on, we've gotten the interferon

half a minute afterwards.

Lance
amin C or Mega C being the de facto standard for treating and
possibly curing an FeLV+ cat. Your thoughts?
Lance
tell you how ecstatic I would be
if Ember was negative on ELISA and IFA. Wow!
Keep asking questions here. Given that your girl is a very faint
positive, it's possible that getting her on low dose human interferon
and something like Transfer Factor (with your vet's approval) might
help her to lick this thing before it becomes a problem. It's hard to
say, but best to hope.
Best regards to you and your family,

Bandy will be in my prayers. I wish I could help some other way. My
dad is an optometrist, but I'm guessing that the eye specialist in
Dallas is a lot more knowledgeable about these diseases, especially
in felines.

him tonight. Hopefully this is just a minor thing that looks much
worse than it is.

I am saddened to read that JuneAmy has passed. My hope and prayer is
that you will someday be reunited with her, at the Bridge, never to

Sharon,The word seems to be that cats can take chemo better than humans. Higher tolerance to it, apparently. I am definitely not a vet, and I've only been reading for a few weeks... my scant research seems to indicate that chemo would be fine to do with interferon or some other FeLV treatment. Your
