[Felvtalk] My Moe
I'm not sure if I am doing this posting properly or not, but here goes. Moe is my felv+ heart kitty. A few days ago I noticed he was sneezing, and of course my vet is on vacation. Started him on Amoxi-tabs (1 tablet, twice daily). It has been 3 days and I think he is sneezing more and one eye has some discharge. I do have some other antibiotics in the house (clavamox, doxy) and wondered if one of them would be a better choice. The vet is not due back for another 10 days Any suggestions would be most welcome. leslie Moe and the furballs ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
[Felvtalk] Charlie
I am so very sorry for your loss of Charlie. This horrid disease takes our babies much, much too young. We lost our Solo, exactly the same way, and while I mourned his loss, I was also glad that he went quickly. He too was semi-feral and did not do well at the vet's office. My keyboard has survived way too many tears too. leslie the furballs -Original Message- From: felvtalk-request felvtalk-requ...@felineleukemia.org To: felvtalk felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sat, Jul 5, 2014 1:00 pm Subject: Felvtalk Digest, Vol 4, Issue 1 Send Felvtalk mailing list submissions to felvtalk@felineleukemia.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to felvtalk-requ...@felineleukemia.org You can reach the person managing the list at felvtalk-ow...@felineleukemia.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of Felvtalk digest...

After loosing over 12 cats in recent years, it does not make any difference if it is fast or slow, you still miss them and it takes a while to get over their lose. michael devitt villagem48...@yahoo.com wrote: hi everyone i have been on the list for awhile not sure why but i had to tell somebody about my charlie a stray i taken in almost 3yrs now he tested felv+ when i had him neutered he turned out to be a big black and white cat that loved to terrorize my 2 other males 2 wks ago he wasnt finishing his meals which is strange he loved to eat i also noticed him being a little more lethargic the humid days really bothered him he had a uri last summer that made him sick for about a wk i thought that was happening again then he started having breathing problems breathing with his mouth open got worse he was losing weight took to vet which was not easy since he is very scared of people being semi-feral he really stressed out vet told to take him to emergency vet once there they got him in an O2 tank he was not responding to treatment they inubated him so they could take x-rays his lungs were full of fluid and i made the decision to let him go i still cant believe he went that fast just the wk before he was outside chasing june bugs and terrorizing my other 2 guys this disease is brutal in that it took a robust big 3yr old beloved cat so quick thanks for listening got teardrops dripping on keyboard got to go -- Message: 3 Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2014 19:04:28 -0400 From: Katherine K.
Re: [Felvtalk] Please help with testing confusion!
Thank you to everyone who responded - let me just clarify something. The ELISA testing that was done on Moe (2.5 year old, tested a year apart) was NOT the SNAP test done in office, but it was done at an outside lab, Antech Diagnositics. Baby, the 4-5 month old, was both SNAP tested and IFA tested. So, does that change any recommendations? One vet says that they can be put together. The other vet says that to be sure, we should wait another month, and switch the testing on them. Sigh..I am more confused than before if that is possible. -Original Message- From: one23disco one23di...@aol.com To: felvtalk felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Mon, Oct 14, 2013 6:43 pm Subject: Please help with testing confusion! I'm confused and hope people can help me to understand this. I have two cats who have tested positive for felv. One, Moe has tested positive twice on the ELISA, and the tests were done a year apart. Baby, has tested positive both on a SNAP and an IFA test - done two months apart. Different vets were used. They have been kept separate, both from each other and our negative cats. So, the question is can they be safely introduced to each other? Do I need Moe to be retested using the IFA? Do I need Baby retested using the ELISA? Please, any light that can be shed on this will be incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!

Re: [Felvtalk] Please help with testing confusion!
I just want them to be well as long as possible as well as happy. We recently lost a 3 year old felv+ boy, Solo, and it happened very very quickly. -Original Message- From: dlgegg dlg...@windstream.net To: felvtalk felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Cc: one23disco one23di...@aol.com Sent: Tue, Oct 15, 2013 4:54 pm Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Please help with testing confusion! After Annie and Nitnoy both tested positive twice, no more testing. Results won't change after that much time. Just let them mix with everyone. They will enjoy life much better. one23di...@aol.com wrote: Thank you to everyone who responded - let me just clarify something.
