Re: [Felvtalk] Pam, Sandy et all
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PERPHERIAL T CELL CANCER IN 2000, HAD 10 CATS, 4 WITH LEUKEMIA. TREATMENTS DID NOT WORK, BUT WENT INTO REMISSION 1 YEAR LATER. NEITHER THE CATS OR I SUFFERED. THE FELV CATS DIED OF OLD AGE AND AT 77 I AM STILL AROUND DESPITE DIABETES AND AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT. SO I WOULD SAY NEITHER DISEASE HURTS THE OTHER. I CLEANED THE LITER BOXES, FED AND SLEPT WITH MY CATS. - Original Message - From: Pam Doore To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 10:40:34 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Pam, Sandy et all Good morning, I have heard that FeLv+ are not concern to any other species including us, so your nephew is safe with your kitty :-D. ~~@~@~@~@~@ Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me. — St. Patrick On Mon, Feb 26, 2018 at 9:56 AM, Armstrong-Brown, Sheila DDS Timonium wrote: Hello.

Re: [Felvtalk] Pam, Sandy et all
Hi Bob - I use the BENE-BAC with a syringe - but you are probably correct with getting it under control with corticosteroids. I had a Japanese Bobtail MX, who had special problems and I had to do that with him off and on - before I knew about the pre/probiotics. Best of luck - I know you won't stop trying to give a quality of life to the best of your ability.

I,m sorry for the loss of your Ally Pamit never gets easier but so good of you to give a quality life to those less fortunate creatures who would be dying alone in a cage.it,s a kindness I really admire. And Sandy, thank you for the suggestion..Ive tries a few food additives at this point a d the problem is he just wont eat themIve got a hundres bucks worth of pre and pro biotics here and he just picks at his food. he,s underweight to begin with and i dont want him losing more.. im going back today to cooking him a bland diet of chicken and rice and will again start adding medicine but in minute amounts a d building up.im beginning to think he really needs a course of corticosteroids to get this initially under control. bob9 On Fri, Feb 23, 2018 at 09:54 AM, felvtalk-requ...@felineleukemia.org wrote: 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..."

Pam, Sorry to hear about your Ally. My Peekers will be 20 in April, and I?m not sure she will make it to this milestone. Her joints seem to be giving out, and she eats sporadically although she drinks a lot of water (diabetic?). Who knows??.
