O.k.. Then, opt for natural, bio degradable cleaning products that will do the same thing, while keeping your cats safe.  On Sep 25, 2016 4:44 PM, "kat" wrote: > Just a caveat on cleaning - do not use lysol or pine-sol - they contain > phenol which can be toxic to cats

Re: [Felvtalk] Hodor Declining

Margo The Interferon wouldn’t have caused red cell or hematocrit changes directly. The idea of the interferon is to boost the cat’s immune system to fight the FeLV virus. If successful, this would result in an improvement in the haematology results, since the poor results are being caused by

I'm really at my wits end as to how much more to put my little guy ( Yogi) through  I adopted him 7 months ago and he has had something causing him pain at least 5 of them..   I put him on high doses of ocular Prednisolone to try to spare his vision after a severe Uveitis( bilateral

Re: [Felvtalk] Eye Problems and Prednisolone....

Robert I recommend that you have the vet surgically remove the eye. You would be surprised at how quickly a cat will adjust to this, and the pain will stop immediately. I had this experience with one of my cats, who also had severe uveitis when I got her, and there was just nothing that

And about essential oils-the purpose of using oils and fats is to give them to you cat until they gain weight- they are not ment to be used long term.  On Sep 25, 2016 4:44 PM, "kat" wrote: > Just a caveat on cleaning - do not use lysol or pine-sol - they contain >

Re: [Felvtalk] Eye Problems and Prednisolone....

Try researching natural suppliments or remedies on line. Also, have you considered seeing a holistic vetnerian? I have not been to one, but i have read and heard about them in the internet. Try also using curcumin and any food/vitamin supplyment that might help with inflamation. Try to keep your

Re: [Felvtalk] Eye Problems and Prednisolone....

P.s.: Also, try garlic and apple cider viniger. Make sure you cook the garlic though. These products help kill pathogens/antibacterial and help reduce inflamation. On Sep 25, 2016 12:06 PM, "ROBERT CHAPEL" wrote: > > I'm really at my wits end as to how much more to put

Re: [Felvtalk] Eye Problems and Prednisolone....

Maira I learned that garlic and onions can destroy red cells in cats. The problem with cats is that they have a very different liver than humans and dogs, so things that aren’t poisonous to humans and dogs (and rats, and guinea pigs, etc.) are poisonous to cats. I wouldn’t use garlic – either

Re: [Felvtalk] Eye Problems and Prednisolone....

Just a caveat on cleaning - do not use lysol or pine-sol - they contain phenol which can be toxic to cats & birds. Also, stay away from essential oils for cat & birds.   Kat (Mew Jersey)   Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2016 at 6:08 PM From: "Maira Favela" To:

Re: [Felvtalk] Help Understanding Labs

If there were blood clots, then that takes the platelets out of the blood. Clots are made up of platelets, so the platelets are no longer "loose" and the machine can therefore not detect the platelets. What was the creatinine and urea? I don't think I would be too worried about the sodium and

The creatinine was at 1.5 and the bun was at 26 so well within normal. I was more concerned about the Lymphocytes which was at 18 and the Absolute lymphocyte which was at 864. I was wondering if I should go ahead and get the IFA test done. I think I am hoping against hope as I think I know

Hi Liz,      What was the reason for the doxy, and how long was he on it?      I've seen one of my boys become a bit "off" n the non-interferon weeks, but was never able to really pinpoint just that.      Is Hodor getting sub-q B-12? Recently, I've seen that he sometimes

My 7.5 Y/O cat tested positive (ELISA) for Felv about a month ago. She had yeast ear infections that would not go away and had lost weight so I had her tested to see if there was a problem with her immune system and blood workup. When my vet told me that she tested positive of FELV, she said
