I think talking with a feline cancer group will be helpful. I couldn't tell you because I don't know a lot about lymphosarcoma. I'm sure the vets are telling you to let him go but you have to make the call and don't do it until you're sure so you won't regret it and wonder later on. I guess

Dexter seems to be telling you that he wants to go on. Has anyone ever considered asking their cats directly, through an animal communicator, what they want, if they're in pain, do they want to go on,etc? I have, last summer when Lafayette was dying of cancer (I treated him with a tonic that

[Felvtalk] DMG

2011-07-05 Thread Natalie
Has any vet ever suggested using DMG (N, N-DIMETHYLGLYCINE)for FeLV+ cats? I AM USING IT ON A FIV+ CAT THAT HAS PAINFUL STOMATITIS IN THE MOUTH, TO THE POINT WHERE HE COULDN'T EAT; FIV/FeLV+ cats often get that condition, and unfortunately, the only suggested and supposedly appropriate thing is

They most certainly can communicate and they do it all the time. Cats naturally don't communicate verbally with each other, so when your cat meows at you, he's trying to speak your language, so to speak. If that's not direct communication, I don't know what is... We have Dex at his vet

My mother has been recommending this ages ago(she died in 2001) - and I know that I've used it because she gave it to me, forget for what. But when you see the list of things that it can help, it's very impressive: FIV/FeLV, feline acne (chin), rodent ulcers (on their lips), melanomas, skin

Ben I'm so sorry to hear of little Dexter's health problem. I pray that, no matter what happens, he does not suffer...nor do you. It is obvious you have a heart connection with Dex, and that is a precious gift many never open themselves to. It's nearly impossible to feel one is making the

I think you made a good decision because you will know that you have tried everything possible for him. I think wondering if you did enough is the worse thing. So no matter which way it goes you won't have any guilt.Dexter sounds like a wonderful boy and I pray he pulls right out of this

My mom has to get rid of her one year old cat, I am going to take her. She is probably a month behind on her vaccination. If we vaccinate her tomorrow, how long should we wait to bring her over to my house? Thanks, Katy Sent from my iPhone ___

If one of the vaccinations is the FeLV, then you have to wait until the second shot is given which is 21 days after the first shot. I'm not sure on other vaccinations, but I would ask a vet. But I am correct about the feline leukemia vaccine. Hope this helps! Lynda - Original Message

From the internet (and my vet): In kittens, feline leukemia virus vaccine administration is recommended starting at 8-12 weeks of age with a booster feline leukemia virus vaccine given 3-4 weeks later. Adult cats receiving an initial vaccine against feline leukemia virus should have a
