subject:"FIV cat"

 If he hasn't been eating a normal amount of food he may very well 
have hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease, this can be fatal and the 
cure is getting enough food into him, the vet should know this.  You 
have to immediately start getting food into this cat.  The two weeks 
this site states is incorrect it can occur in a shorter period of time 
of not eating enough, in as little as a few days (even in some cases in 
as little as a 24 hour period of not eating, especially if the cat was 
overweight to start with).  Get food into this kitty now!   Syringe 
feed or get a feeding tube, food and enough of it is the cure for this, 
this is not something any cat should die from, being FeLV has NOTHING to 
do with it.

http://www.vet.uga.edu/vpp/clerk/turner/index.php   goods link from a 
vet site, make sure your vet is aware of this!!


http://colleenscorner.com/birthdaybear.htmlhere is one person and 
their kitties story and how she helped her kitty survive.


http://petdoc.com/story/feline-hepatic-lipidosis-fatty-liver-disease   
it states usually caused because of other reasons, but in some cases 
there is no other reason found, in other words once the cat is eating 
normal again they are fine, I know of several cats that had nothing 
wrong with them that was ever found, they just stopped eating.  One in 
particular was very close to death and his Mom worked diligently with 
him to save him, he also had a feeding tube.


I personally have been through this with 3 cats, all survived the 
episodes, all had feeding tubes.


Buddie had cancer and was being treated for that when out of the blue 
she became septic and stopped eating which in turn made her become 
anorexic and she developed FHL on top of the liver cancer and 
septicemia.  She got a feeding tube put in and within 2 weeks of feeding 
her she turned around, I lost Buddie to liver cancer one year later.


Bailey also stopped eating at the beginning of his illness and had a 
feeding tube, we reversed his anemia and took care of the FHL but we 
could never find the cancer we suspected he had and therefore couldn't 
treat for it, I lost him to undiagnosed pancreatic cancer after 6 months.


Fred got a feeding tube early in his CRF diagnosis when he wasn't eating 
enough, he was eating but not enough to sustain him and syringe feeding 
wasn't working for us so he got a feeding tube.  He had it for about 6 
weeks and pulled it out himself one day, of course I freaked out but he 
was eating well enough by then and we didn't put it back in, Fred is 
still with me with CRF for 3 years now and doing well.  He is 18 and 
slowing down quite a bit, he sleeps a lot but still enjoys getting on me 
for loving and laying out in the sun ... I know his disease is terminal 
but he has had 3 years of good life he wouldn't have had if I hadn't 
treated the problems that came up, it took about 8 months to get him 
stable after he was diagnosed with CRF, and believe me those 8 months 
were a roller coaster.  His eating is slowing down again and he is 
losing weight so I don't know what the future holds, but as long as he 
enjoys the things in life he always has I will fight for him and do what 
I need to to keep him feeling OK.


Please have your vet test for FHL (feline hepatic lipidosis), it is 
something that can be reversed but can be fatal if left untreated.   
Food and enough of it is all it takes.  Some people try syringe feeding, 
some try spoon feeding, some put food on their finger and gently put it 
in the side of the kitties mouth ... I do this with Fred when he gets 
meds and doesn't want to eat right at that moment to make sure the pills 
get down.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ FIV+ cat with liver problems

PS.  I missed the part about being anemic, get him started on 
doxocycline and prednisolone also, this is common for FeLV+'s and he may 
have hemobartonella which is extremely hard to test for.  Most positives 
are put on doxy and pred as a precaution if they become anemic.  Anemia 
is caused by something, it isn't just something that a cat being FeLV+ 
gets, there is a reason they get it, some vets just say well, the cat is 
FeLV+ and this happens.   Find out why Miles is anemic.  This may have 
initiated his loss of appetite to start with and compounded the problem 
by causing FHL.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ FIV+ cat with liver problems

Ok, just read where Miles was diagnosed with 
Cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis complex, found some info on it and 
nutrition is part of the recovery/treatment process, what is the vet 
doing for him as far as that goes?




Cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis complex:
This is a number of related inflammatory  or infectious disorders of 
the liver and/or the biliary tract. Cholangitis relates to infection 
or inflammation of the bile duct  cholangiohepatitis is inflammation 
of the biliary system  by extension the liver. Causes of infection 
may often include FIP, Pancreatitis, IBD, bacterial infection, 
parasitic infection (including toxoplasmosis 
http://www.cat-world.com.au/Toxoplasmosis.htm).


   *

  Supportive care with IV or subcutaneous fluids  *nutritional
  support*.

   *

  If the cause is bacterial, antibiotics will be prescribed.

   *

  Medication to control vomiting if necessary.

   *

  Corticosteroids may also be helpful in cats.



Do they think it is bacterial in nature?

Subject: URGENT NEED - Neutered Male FIV Cat Needs Home


Hi,




I had been feeding a stray cat (Chester) all winter, trapped him on 2/15/09,
and had him neutered, tested for FELV/FIV, vaccinated, and meds applied to
rid him of fleas and worms at the local SPCA.  He tested positive at the
SPCA for FIV only.  They released him to me and I took him to my vet, where
he has been since Tuesday, 02/24/09.

My vet gave him a complete physical exam and blood analysis and also
retested him for FIV using  Western Blot I think as well as the IDEXX SNAP
Antigen test again.   Chester is FIV positive.  Vet said that he is a
healthy cat and his blood work was otherwise squeaky clean - no infections
or problems.

FIV cats can only transmit the virus to other cats by a bite wound or
scratch that draws blood. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or to other
animals. Nevertheless, he must be in a one cat home or in a home with only
FIV cats, and he must be kept indoors to avoid contact with other cats and
to minimize exposure to germs that can compromise his immune system. FIV
cats can live a full lifespan with proper nutrition and vet care, as with
all cats.

Chester needs a home ASAP because he can no longer be boarded at the vet
inasmuch as they only do medical boarding and Chester will have no place to
go as of Monday, 03/02/09. If that happens, he may have to be put to death
because (1) he has been use to being fed for two months now and to put him
out without food would be very cruel - I cannot continue to feed him because
of complaints to my apartment manager and it is against the town's law and
the animal control officer is aware of it, plus (2) Chester should not be
allowed to come in contact with non-FIV cats, of which there are several
pets let out by their owners in this apt complex.

Chester is not feral, but needs socialization; he allowed my vet to pet and
stroke him. The vet picked him up, however, Chester was tense, but not
aggressive - just scared. Chester is probably about 3-4 years old, black and
white, green eyes, and adorable. Please help if you can.  Time is really
getting short inasmuch as I have to pick him up from my vet on Monday,
03/02/09 and still have no home for him and no place to go.

Chester is located in Red Bank, NJ (Jersey Shore area)

Thanks, as always, MC!  And of course it's not at all true, that he  
can't mix with other cats, just the old party line.  Darn, be glad  
when the vets grow out of that.

Seeking Friendly FIV+ Cat/Kitten, Who Gets Along Marvelously w/Other Cats I am looking to adopt a Female (or possibly, Male) FIV Positive cat with a wonderful, friendly disposition, who gets along Very Well with other cats. I currently have a two year old Male FIV+ cat at home, who, happens to be, the sweetest, most friendly creature, and I would love to provide him with a new friend. My cat (Riley) previously lived with another Male cat, who turned out to be Alpha Male in status ( a bit of a bully, in nature), and had a tendency of eating Rileys food before Riley was able finish his portion (the other cat would quickly gobble up his own food, and then race over to Rileys dish, push him out of the way,  then slowly, attempt, to enjoy Rileys meal as well.) Once Riley and I got our own place, Ive seen my little man blossom. Im starting to feel, though, that he may be a little lonely during the day when I am not at home (I am currently taking Pre-Vet courses at Hunter College, hoping to eventually get a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine.) And believe it or not, I think he may slightly miss his old pal from the previous apartmentdespite his lowered status in that relationship, they really enjoyed playing and cuddling with each other; I remember them almost connected at the hip. I introduced Riley to another cat before (granted, it wasnt planned correctly-i.e. placing the new cat in another room,  slowly introducing, not only him to the new environment, but Riley to a new animal in the house); the other cats reaction didnt sit well with Riley. She hissed violently and began swatting at him, and Riley quickly ran under the bed ( refused to come out for a few hours.) So I guess what Im looking for is a friendly cat, whose biggest flaw is that hes/shes been diagnosed with FIV. Im very educated on this condition and will be able to provide him/her with unconditional love  frequent visits to the Vets Office. My cat is very healthy, and Im expecting him to live a very long and happy lifeI would love to provide that opportunity for another fabulous feline. Thank you for your time and consideration. I reside in a studio apartment in Riverdale (Bronx), NY (and will be living there until, at least, October of 2007.) All of the windows in the apartment have screens, and there is this wonderful little ledge (that Riley LOVES to sit upon) next to a large window overlooking trees. What the apartment lacks in size, it makes up for itself in other areas.

Hi

There is a fiv cat that is about a year old very friendly that 
was dropped off at the shelter in Elizabeth NJ.

Can anyone help or know of a group who would take him. He is a 
tabby and very sweet and very affectionate

Thanks

RE: off topic fiv cat needs home

2006-03-17 Thread Hideyo Yamamoto

Do you know how he was tested positive - in house test kit or was it
sent out to one of the lab? - the reason I am asking - 3 out of 10 cats
tested originally positive by antech lab ended up being really negative
- so before assuming that he is really positive, I wanted to suggest to
run Western blot -

You might want to join FIVcats2 yahoo group or I could forward your
email to them to see if someone can ---is this a non kill shelter?  I
live in NM - if someone can transport, and if he can't find a good home,
I would offer to give him a home - I have a little sanctuary of my own,
and have many cats with me, so I am not going to be the best home for
him, but if this is not a non kill shelter- I would hate to see him
killed due to FIV status - is there anyway you can take him?  Lots of
FIV cats owners mix their positives and negatives together, and none of
their negatives become positive unless FIV cat is very aggressive biter
- and most of FIV cats do live a normal life span --- so if you could
consider being his mom - that will be great, too!.

Whats really killing me is that
there are many people out there who euthanize FIV boys due to the test result 
and they arent even positive!  I said this before and I said this
again  I really wished that they did not discover this virus  I
feel it does more damage to cats that it does good.

i think it's the NAME that does the damage--i was told that it was named in the late 80s, early in the HIV panic. people insist upon calling it feline AIDS (when it neither is transmitted nor manifests itself like HIV), and people just react to the word


that any vaccinated cat will forever test positive doesn't help anything, either, of course.

FIV cat

2006-01-09 Thread Kathie and Donna




Our small rescue group has a very sweet female cat that 
has tested + for FIV. For several weeks she has been boarding at the vet's as we 
are all way over capacity in our homes. Unfortunately, we can't afford to board 
her there indefinately, nor would that be fair to her. We are near Cleveland. 
Does anyone know of a sanctuary or person who would be willing to adopt her? 
Thanks for any help. Kathie

RE: FIV cat

2006-01-09 Thread Hideyo Yamamoto









Hi, I strongly suggest that she be tested
for Western blot to confirm that she is really positive for FIV  3 out
of 8 cats who tested positive on ELISA, ended up being false positive  



I live in NM  if someone transportation
can be arranged, I will take her if you cant find any alternatives. I
think there a couple of other people on the list who were willing to take FIV
kitty, I think 



Also, I suggest that you post this to
FIVcats2  yahoo group  please make sure that its #2
group, and not FIVcats.

Ah,  only a cat would have to put up with a choice
between amputation and being homeless.  

www.catsinternational.org has excellent information on
how to train a cat.  They've toned down their
article on declawing for some reason, but still make
some good points in it.  Feline Future also has a good
article on declawing, without sounding hysterical.

I know it can cause litterbox problems and could change their personalities.I also know that she doesn't declaw after a certain age too.I think it should be outlawed too.But I can't just start telling her what's right and whats wrong.She knows what the outcome from the declawing could be.I will have to ask her why she declaws them all,but I believe it is like I said,it makes them more adoptable.(sad as that may be)I hate the claws too,but my first day with Rafferty I was clipping his nails.not all cats will let you do this.My Maizee was a beast when it came to it.Sorry that you all feel so angry about this issue,but I do still believe in her cause.

Ah, only a cat would have to put up with a choicebetween amputation and being homeless. Sad I know,believe me after I found out how declawing was done,I was appalled.a lot of these cats have came in already declawed,could have been very well because of it,who knows.I just try to love them and hope that thay are happy.And from what I have seen they are.

Thanks for the link, might be helpful in educating people.  I think  
the declawing should be outlawed too.  We really don't get that many  
people who ask for declawed cats in Arkansas, but there are some and  
we always screen for that.

We do too.
We had a "landmark" case here a few years ago.
When doing a routine vet check, we found that the applicant (who stated 
very emphatically she would never declaw), had in fact 
declawed the cat she had adopted from us 3 years prior!!
Her application for second cat was denied, and our lawyer did file suit for 
breach of contract.
