[Felvtalk] Shots For FeLV+ Kittens?

2009-12-03 Thread Crystal Proper
Just wanted to thank everyone again for the kind words about my baby I lost a week ago, Nibbler.  I have some questions about his two brothers Brillo and Desmond.  They are in great health with no symptoms.  Is it a good idea to get FeLV+ kittens their shots?  Also, in a month they will be old

We are going to start Bridget on LTCI. Many thanks to all the members of this group - I would not have known about this drug without you. She's doing great. Very active and lively and not acting sick at all. She's a little unhappy because I've moved her into the garage with the other positive

Crystal, all 8 of my positive kittens received their shots and were spayed/neutered with no ill affects. Fixing the boys will reduce the stress in their lives. I follow the new shot protocol. After their 1st yr shots mine get boosters every three years. They do to the vet annually for a

Natasha, I see no reason why you can't cut and paste Ben's test results. You may want to start a new message since there is a limit on the size of a message. Sharyl --- On Wed, 12/2/09, Natasha Hinsbeeck n.hinsbe...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Natasha Hinsbeeck n.hinsbe...@yahoo.com Subject:

Thnksgiving Day I finally trapped Smoky Jo in the dumpster colony I feed. Then Sunday I trapped Butterball. A new group is organizing here on the Eastern Shore to help with low cost speutering of ferals. Wed. the PETA SNIPS van came to speuter pets ($45) and ferals (#25). I took Smokey Jo

That really sucks big time. I knew that Peta had problems, and I haven't contributed to them in a long time. But I've never heard of this idiocy. I'll pass this info on - thanks for posting. Gloria --- Original Message --- From : Sharyl[mailto:cline...@yahoo.com] Sent : 12/3/2009

I wouldn't give those people anything but a view of my backside as I walked out. There are low cost spay/neuter clinics all around...but sometimes you have to really search them out. I found a local organization that just does the surgery...they will test if I request it, but I don't. PETA

I'm so sorry, Natasha. I've had several double positives, and they have lived normal lives for a while, but getting sick with anything was taxing on them. I don't have any double positives right now...I think the first one I had was Mr. Black Kitty back in 2002 or 3, and I'm so glad I took

Bless your heart. I suggest you find a female vet and maybe find one who already does low cost SN...maybe one who works with your shelter? Where do you live? (you can email me privately about that if you want). Laurie -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org

www.neuterspay.org look under, find low cost resources. for some reason, not all computers will display results, tho in other cases, the problem is not waiting long enough for the results to show up--the database is HUGE. in that case, let me know best bet, unless you live in a big city, is

Oh, Sharyl! This is just so sad and pointless. But a really hard learning experience, I guess, about PETA's practices. I know Butterball and Smoky Jo know you were trying to help them. Gentle Bridge vibes to both of them, and solace to you. I'm grieving with you. Diane R.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think maybe PETA killed these cats regardless of their test results. In other words, is it possible the cats didn't test positive for anything but feral, so was an excuse to kill them? Sharyl, I am so very sorry. Janine
