[Felvtalk] looking for a home south-east Louisiana

I have a sweet black female felu and fiv positive. My great neighbors dumped her outside without food or water and then left the dump of a house. I fear for her life outside and cannot bring her inside. The neighbors are starting to work on the house and I am concerned she may get trapped

[Felvtalk] Abbey

Have to wait until 16th. Rick is off on 9th. He saw her on 2nd- ten days after 14 teeth pulled. I can only get her to eat watered down food such as kitten food, baby food, a/d, some fancy feast. She sits on my lap and eats usually. I got her to eat with a 500 mg lysine mixed in with food

[Felvtalk] babies and seafood

After the bp mess in the Gulf, I stopped bringing home Gulf fish and sharing cooked fish with the cats. I fear this will be a really bad deal. Many people I have met are terribly ill that worked around it and dive in it or eat Gulf fish. Scarey.

[Felvtalk] vets un-informed

[Felvtalk] urine odors

How about vinegar. When we have a problem child, I pour 1/2 gal vinegar to 4 bath towels and 1 gal to a spread and wash on heavy cycle. Works every time. ML ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org

[Felvtalk] stomatitis

doubts about the syrup, but it works. My Abbey is FIV+ and orginally tested Felv+, but negative the 2nd and 3rd tests. She had a bad case of stomatitis and is in remission. I do not work for the group, just let people know to check it out with an open mind. I really does work. Mary Lou
