Re: [Felvtalk] like seeing a ghost

Hi Lynne, It sounds like the poor guy really needs some medical attention. Is he tame? Where do you live? Is there any way you can keep him in a pen or something and just get him tested for Felv? If he is positive he could spread it to all the other cats in the neighborhood. If you consider

Re: [Felvtalk] like seeing a ghost

Hi, I'm sorry that you had such an awful experience with Boo. My husband and I take care of special needs cats and it can be very heartbreaking. I think it is great that you will contact the Humane Society about this new kitty as it is obvious he is being neglected, at the very least.

Re: [Felvtalk] Felv Testing Interval for kittens

Hi, We've had several FIV cats and they've all lived well into their teens. We didn't even start to see any health problems until they were older. One of our FIV cats is about 15 and she has only ever been to the vet for routine things. The one thing I would suggest is that you feed a really

Re: [Felvtalk] Seizures?

Hi, I do have experience with feline seizures as I have a cat that suffered head trauma (before I rescued him). My cat is not aggressive in any way but he does display other odd behaviors. He does not play with toys and he is not interested in catnip. He's really not curious about anything.

Re: [Felvtalk] OT - Ants

Hi, There is a product named Orange Guard that works really well, smells great and is non-toxic. It is a bit expensive but it lasts a long time. You can buy it a bunch of places online. -- Michele -- Original message -- From: Kelley Saveika [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi

Re: [Felvtalk] chemotherapy?

Hi, I am sorry about Emma. As someone else mentioned the important thing is to find a good oncologist. It is possible that Emma does not have FeLV and that the test was a false positive. Does she have any symptoms of FeLV? My cat (FeLV negative) was diagnosed with Lymphoma about 5 years ago.

Re: [Felvtalk] Help my Mickey

Hi, Have you had bloodwork done on Mickey lately to make sure that he's not anemic and to make sure there's not something else going on? I would suggest that you have your vet do a small biopsy of the growth to get an exact diagnosis and to rule out cancer. I think adenomas are common in older

Re: [Felvtalk] Help my Mickey

One of my cats had a huge growth on her lip and five or six different vets misdiagnosed it. We gave her all kinds of medicines. Finally, I found a vet who knew exactly what it was and it was cleared up within a week. The same cat has lymphoma and it took over a year to get a correct diagnosis.

Re: [Felvtalk] chemmo for Pupa

Hi, I can only tell you my experience with chemo and lymphoma. You should, of course, discuss everything with your vet. One of my cats has lymphoma and has been through three rounds of chemo. When the side-effects were just too severe I asked them to lower the dosage. I was happy with my

Re: [Felvtalk] Foster or permanent home needed for Tofu

Hi, I am dealing with several cats that need major medical care myself, but I can ask around to all my rescue friends. I am trying to find a good foster home for a cat myself, he will need medication as he is going to have all his teeth pulled. He is Felv negative but has chronic health

Re: [Felvtalk] Foster or permanent home needed for Tofu

Well, as I mentioned I can make a donation to her boarding and I'll still ask around for a foster home. I live in Northern California. -- Michele -- Original message -- From: Kelley Saveika [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are in Austin, TX and so is Tofu. I expect our vet will

Re: [Felvtalk] Petey isn't eating and x-rays have found nothing

Hi, Before I even read your last e-mail I was going to suggest an abdominal ultrasound to look for lymphoma. One of our cats had lymphoma and it was mis-diagnosed by 4 vets. She ended up having chemotherapy and did really well for 7 years. She eventually died due to a mass in her
