Re: [Felvtalk] PLEASE HELP ASAP - VERY SICK FELV CAT - reposting as other email too long

I very seldom post here, but your baby is very anemic.  HCT 14% and if it continues to drop will need a transfusion.  Many here at one time suggested Winstrol for anemia.   https://www.rxlist.com/winstrol-side-effects-drug-center.htm    I am sure others will chime in here, but this was said to

[Felvtalk] QUESTION

Hello,  My girl is 4 years old and has had FeLV for 3 years.  We took in a kitten 3 years ago who tested negative for it.  The two were together after that and 6 months later, I found out the negative was false.  The kitten was actually a positive.  When I tested my other girl, she also had it.

I'm sure this won't be allowed, but I must try anyways as I cannot express how important it is to put your cats on an omega 3 supplement. Moxxor is 100% pure. Green-lip mussel oil, grapeseed oil and kiwifruitseed oil. No preservatives, pesticides, GMOs, Mercury, PCBs, or excipients of any

Re: [Felvtalk] Michael's last hope

Terri, I saw this post and am praying for your little Michael! Can they start him on Aranesp (darbepoetin) or Epogen, or even Winstrol (which I think has been mentioned here before?). I know with Aranesp, you give the shot 1 time a week and when it is within normal range, begin to space out

[Felvtalk] Inflam mation

Hello everyone, I have two FeLV cats. One is 2 years old and the other is 10 months. I'm not sure if any of you give an omega 3 supplement. Both my girls are on this and have been for quite some time. Knock on wood, they have both been in remission since November. I do sell an omega

Re: [Felvtalk] MY LITTLE GIRL NOT EATING MUCH

Why is it so rare that bacteria cause a UTI? I have read in blood work myself that it is quite possible. High WBCs and high Neutrophils in the urinalysis will indicate infection. Also in a urinalysis, it will state if bacteria is seen or not. So I am a bit confused. If there is blood in

[Felvtalk] MY LITTLE GIRL NOT EATING MUCH

Hi all, haven't posted here in awhile because all was going well. Kit decided she did not want to eat today. So when I get home I intend to try Baby Food (Gerber's Stage 2). If she does not eat, I will be syringe feeding her and contacting the vet. I did see that she did not use the litter

[Felvtalk] Raven has enlarged lymph nodes

Hi Sabrina, This is how we found FeLV in our 5 month old kitty (at the time). The vet ran all blood work and everything was out of normal ranges. She mentioned possibility of cancer, but luckily it was not. She put her on Orbax and Clavamox. That was 2 months ago. The nodes are slowly

Re: [Felvtalk] Kit has Diarrhea

Thank you Lance. Being new at this, I'm not sure what is good for a cat with FeLV and what is not. I did contact the vet and she asked me to start a probiotic, which I have Mercola's "Complete Probiotics for Pets." Can I safely use both? Nancy & Kit -Original Message- From: Lance

Re: [Felvtalk] Kit has Diarrhea

Lance, I just spoke to Kit's vet and she would like to just start off with the probiotics first. Just add one thing in to see Kit's reaction. So we will begin with that. I had one cat who loved pumpkin and licked it off the spoon. She never had a BM problem! :-) Thx again! Nancy

[Felvtalk] Kit has Diarrhea

Hello everyone, so far it has been all good news for Kit. Blood work perfect. About 4 days ago, she developed diarrhea. While she is not running to the litterbox all the time, when she does go (maybe twice daily or 3), it is watery. I know FeLV cats could develop IBD. Could this be it? How

Re: [Felvtalk] Does anyone have homemade cat food recipes to share?

If you use Gerbers, make sure you use stage 2 only. the small 2.5 oz jars because they are strictly meat and water with a tad of cornstarch in it. No onions or garlic in these. The ones you want are Ham (no salt added), Chicken, Turkey or Beef with gravy. Nancy & the gang -Original

[Felvtalk] DENAMARIN for liver support

[Felvtalk] Winstrol

I read here that while on Winstrol, a cat's liver values can elevate. Could it cause liver disease? Also has anyone used Denamarin to support the liver? Or is it not good for FeLV kitties? http://www.nutramaxlabs.com/cat/cat-liver-health/denamarin-for-cats or even milk thistle? Nancy

Re: [Felvtalk] Kit

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
