Re: [Felvtalk] Viralys maple flavored gel
you can purchase on line , I buy on Amazon Lysine chewy treats they have fish flavor or chicken as well, they love them.the Lysine content is less in the treats then in the powder, that is why i give them 2-3 a day.

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering
NO! do do Neuter him! the stress of hormones on his body is more suppressing to his immune system that is already very low due to the virus. Im working with the rescue and vets i can provide vet email you can ask her opinion. I do have 3 of the 6 m old that are Positive , they need to be kept inside because there immune system may not fight off all sicknesses that they may catch outdoor even tho they got all the vacc that is recommended. email me for any questions.

Re: [Felvtalk] OT: arthritis
Hi, I have used this product "vetionix " on my 5 yo that has genetically low cart liege, in her hips almost non, and was paralyzed already from pain, it helps naturally with movements and discomfort it is not a pain killer so i had to get pain killer as well but then i got her on prescription food : http://www.chewy.com/cat/hills-prescription-diet-jd-feline/dp/54763?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=f&utm_content=Hill%27s%20Prescription%20Diet&utm_term=&gclid=CMvKsMDCxcECFWqCMgodPG4AVA it is prescription and sometimes it is hard to switch for cats they have dry as well and so fare for an 8 months now Carrera had no more pain attacks but i do give her this Vetionix for a week every 6 weeks. it works for her can not guarantee would work for other. Hoping that this information is a little helpful for you.

Re: [Felvtalk] Such a short little life
They are ALL beautiful and lovable just have shorter life's but it is up to us humans to take care of them and give them that warm comfortable home to be themselves, I have 4 of FELV+ that rescue wanted to put down, and I have refused to agree with them , since that time I'm looking for people who understand that conditions and are willing to take them for that little time that they have. If any one in this group is willing to take care of one or more FeLV+ kitten please let me know, i have 3 siblings that are 6 months old and one 1 1/2 yo girl as well, they are all fixed and up to date with vacc. Before you going to say anything and judge, I do owe 5 cat of my own and one become positive true fostering, I'm still not giving up, but my living situation will change soon and can not provide for 9 cats. Please contact me if you are willing to help them to find loveable home.
