Re: [Felvtalk] Just checking in...Murphy and Rosie
BLESS YOU BEYOND THE BEYOND. You have been on my heart continually since reading your story. I honestly believe there are people within your community who will write the checks for your beloveds and you. quietly meganskye m Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2010 09:45:00 -0700 From: aliceflow...@sbcglobal.net To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Just checking in...Murphy and Rosie I've been off boards for a bit-This whole FeLV thing is so sad-reading all the new people's posts desperately seeking information and hope (like me a year and a half ago). Then reading as our sweet little babies lose their battle with this dreaded disease-Like the 4 sibling brothers I had. We have been lucky so far with Murphy and Rosie since starting the Imulan treatments last September (before they had any symptoms). Their bloodwork has been pretty good-both have HCT in the 35-39 range. We got behind in the blood testing and have an appt today because Murphy has developed a sneeze that appears to be allergies, but I cannot take a chance-so we will have them both checked and I may get brave and order another FeLV test-This is so hard financially-in a year and a half-we had the 6 kitties to the vets on numerous occasions-tried one transfusion that didn't help ($1500 for that alone) we are damned if we do and damned if we don't-it rips your heart out-we tried to treat this disease and have spent our savings - got behind and are fighting foreclosure...(over 7500 in vet bills in the past 1 1/2 yrs on the 6 kitties-and that's not the old dogs or horses) it's a disease of the heart-we were so heartbroken and desperate to save this feral litter-we loved them so muchand we weren't even cat people until we rescued them. Their sweet little faces and kitten antics...how could you resist?? Anyway-the last 2 appear to be well so far and we were at 8 weeks apart with the injections-have one dose each left and I've postponed giving it to stretch the dollars. So we are headed to our vet for check ups and blood work today. I just want to say bless you to all of you-this is a battle not won too often, but your support and kind words have helped so many of us! ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
