 Isaac would have been 3 years young on 4.14.  He tested positive along with 4 
 others of my inner circle of seven on 3.1.2010.  I did not test further but 
 put efforts into food and supplements.

 Isaac  was big (not fat) black, neutered and active and appeared healthy and 
 aggravated Scrumptious assertively.  This group lived an indoor-outdoor life 
 in the rural Carolina Piedmont.

 Tuesday morning he did not eat.  His breath was horrendous.  He liked to eat 
 - - I used to joke with him that he and I both needed to spend time on the 
 treadmill.  That night he was not there nor on Wednesday nor Thursday morning 
 though I searched and called.  Thursday night he answered.  He could not move 
 and his pupils were dilated and fixed.  He did not look as if he had been 
 attacked by dogs or coyotes.

 I took him the 14 miles home and hydrated him orally during the night.  He 
 got up to walk several times during the late night morning but would walk 3 
 steps and wobble and fall down; he would cry out while sleeping with me or 
 when I moved him but I did not know what the matter was.  Conscious but not 
 responsive to me. (the crying out  walking with falling down reminiscent of 
 Torie Rose - - in her last earthly night.  She was the first and original of 
 this inner circle of 8 who was euthanized 2.28.2010).  I made an appointment 
 with a vet for Friday. He gave fluids - - thought Isaac's teeth and forehead 
 spoke of liver failure, said his lungs were clear and heart sounded good 
 though a little fast.  The plan was to do fluids over the weekend and 
 reassess early in the week.  Vet said could be leukemia.  could be poison.  
 didn't know.

 I unintentionally killed him Friday night and will say no more about that.  
 That is a heavy load.

 To have him suddenly in major distress was unimaginable.  He was only a 
 nanometer beyond Scrumptious in closeness to me.  He and Shallie Marie 
 appeared to be the healthiest.  This is the last thing I would have expected.

 Thank you for hearing my story.

 any wisdom or insights will be appreciated.

  My boy, Squiggy, was diagnosed with feline leukemia about 6 months ago.
  He
  has stayed pretty healthy since, with just one secondary infection that
 was
  treated with antibiotics.  But the lymph nodes in his throat are swollen
 and
  stay that way all the time,  Sometimes they are larger than others but
 they
  are always swollen.  My vet doesn't seem concerned by this.  She just
 says
  it is a symptom of the FeLv.  But it concerns me becasue that is what
 made
  me take him to the vet 6 months ago.  His lymph nodes were swollen and he
  was having trouble breathing.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is
 there
  anything I can do for him diet or medication wise to decrease the
 swelling?
  He also has a licking issue.  He will lick everything.  But when I had a
  bloodwork check on him the vet said it looked good.  That he was just
  slightly anemic but very good for a FeLv cat.  I feed him wet food in the
  morning and add Lysine powder and Missing Link to it.  Any other
  recommendations?  I would really appreciate any advice.  He is eating
 well
  and maintaining his weight but I want to stay as far ahead of the disease
 as
  I can.  I do some rescue work out of my house and lost a very young
 kitten
  to FeLv already.  Squiggy was rescued from a chemical plant but was such
 a
  standout sweet kitten that I couldn't bring myself to give him up.  Thank

[Felvtalk] Diet recommendations

2011-01-15 Thread Heather Clark
My boy, Squiggy, was diagnosed with feline leukemia about 6 months ago.  He
has stayed pretty healthy since, with just one secondary infection that was
treated with antibiotics.  But the lymph nodes in his throat are swollen and
stay that way all the time,  Sometimes they are larger than others but they
are always swollen.  My vet doesn't seem concerned by this.  She just says
it is a symptom of the FeLv.  But it concerns me becasue that is what made
me take him to the vet 6 months ago.  His lymph nodes were swollen and he
was having trouble breathing.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there
anything I can do for him diet or medication wise to decrease the swelling?
He also has a licking issue.  He will lick everything.  But when I had a
bloodwork check on him the vet said it looked good.  That he was just
slightly anemic but very good for a FeLv cat.  I feed him wet food in the
morning and add Lysine powder and Missing Link to it.  Any other
recommendations?  I would really appreciate any advice.  He is eating well
and maintaining his weight but I want to stay as far ahead of the disease as
I can.  I do some rescue work out of my house and lost a very young kitten
to FeLv already.  Squiggy was rescued from a chemical plant but was such a
standout sweet kitten that I couldn't bring myself to give him up.  Thank
you for your help.

Re: [Felvtalk] Murphy is gone.

2010-10-26 Thread Heather Clark
My heart is breaking for you as I read this.  I really felt as though I knew
Murphy through your posts.  I was always anxious to hear how he was doing
and praying for his health.  You are truely an angel for the care you have
given these babies.  They were all blessed to have you.  I will light a
candle in Midlothian, VA for Murphy.  And I will keep Rosie in my prayers.

Alice, I'm so sorry to hear Murphy passed. He was lucky to have you. It
sounds like he loved you a lot. And you obviously loved him, and was solidly
there for him when he needed you.

I also wanted to thank you so much for sharing the details of his final days
- for me, as a first time Felv+/FIV+ cat owner,  that has been one of the
things I have most been scared of because I have never experienced the death
of an animal and I'm terrified because I'm still trying to understand the
progression of what happens, and am worried and ignorant of how to prepare
for it.  Thank you for shedding a little light on the subject, and in the
process helping me, and others like me attempt to emotionally prepare for
the day we all hope never comes.

What a sweet and precious angel.  I candle will be lit in VA tonight to help

 Charlie was a little Flame Pt. Siamese mix kitten with Medium super soft

  lost his battle with FeLV this morning. He had been going down hill for
  a week or so, but had a good night last night where his rescue mom got
 to visit  he ate almost a whole jar of baby food. This morning,
 however, he hardly ate anything, even with an appetite stimulant. His
 3rd eyelids were up  he would have to rest after walking only a few
  feet. He was not in my life for long, but he made a big
 impression on me  his rescue mom. We love you little boy!You can see pics

Re: [Felvtalk] please add Tiger to the CLS

A candle will burn in Richmond, VA for Tiger.  Tiger didn't blame you, you
cant blame yourself.  They are so good at hiding their sickness.  It is hard
to notice when they don't have physical symptoms.  He knows he was loved!

 Tiger didn't have FeLV, but he passed away last night, much too soon. He
 was thirteen. I'd had him for three years.  He was always a gentleman  a
 loving, sweet boy. Three weeks ago we went to the vet. Something was wrong;
 he was sluggish and not eating well. It turns out he had a large abcess in
 his throat. The abcess was lanced, a whole lot of dead tissue was removed,
 we were sent home with antibiotics and everyone thought things would be
 fine. They weren't - there was a second vet visit last Monday, the abcess
 was drained again  he was given more fluids. Tiger was hospitalized this
 Monday. The abcess wouldn't clear up, and even though he was given a
 stronger antibiotic he just couldn't fight the infection. I visited him
 yesterday and he ate for me and purred and purred. I didn't want to get my
 hopes up too high, but I still wasn't expecting my vet to call this morning
  give me the news that he'd died. I thought maybe we had a little bit of a
  chance. It turns out that Tiger had a hole in his esophagus; he must have
 ingested something that cut him. I would give anything to have him back with
 me.
 I wish I had taken him in sooner. He'd been quiet this summer, and not
 sleeping with me at night like he normally did, but everybody was quiet this
 summer because the house was so warm. Nobody else was snuggling with me on
 the bed either. I didn't pick up on the little signs that he wasn't feeling
 well. If I had, he might still be alive today.

This sweet little orange baby was found starving in a ditch at a  few weeks
old.  We got him as well as we could but he never managed to be symptom
free.  We gave him lots of love and hopefully made his short life better.
 He succumbed to his illness today at only five months old.  It's amazing
how much they touch your hearts in such a short time.
