Hi Lynne,
It sounds like the poor guy really needs some medical attention. Is he tame?
Where do you live? Is there any way you can keep him in a pen or something and
just get him tested for Felv? If he is positive he could spread it to all the
other cats in the neighborhood. If you consider get
Hi,
I'm sorry that you had such an awful experience with Boo. My husband and I take
care of special needs cats and it can be very heartbreaking. I think it is
great that you will contact the Humane Society about this new kitty as it is
obvious he is being neglected, at the very least. Hopefully
Hi,
We've had several FIV cats and they've all lived well into their teens. We
didn't even start to see any health problems until they were older. One of our
FIV cats is about 15 and she has only ever been to the vet for routine things.
The one thing I would suggest is that you feed a really g
Hi,
I do have experience with feline seizures as I have a cat that suffered head
trauma (before I rescued him). My cat is not aggressive in any way but he does
display other odd behaviors. He does not play with toys and he is not
interested in catnip. He's really not curious about anything. The
Hi,
I don't think you could substitute steroids for phenobarbital as steroids don't
have a sedating effect, more of an anti-inflammatory effect. I know valium is
sometimes prescribed in addition to phenobarbital for seizures. We were so
fortunate to find a great veterinary neurologist for our c
Hi,
There is a product named "Orange Guard" that works really well, smells great
and is non-toxic. It is a bit expensive but it lasts a long time. You can buy
it a bunch of places online.

Hi,
I am sorry about Emma. As someone else mentioned the important thing is to find
a good oncologist. It is possible that Emma does not have FeLV and that the
test was a false positive. Does she have any symptoms of FeLV? My cat (FeLV
negative) was diagnosed with Lymphoma about 5 years ago. Sh
Hi,
Have you had bloodwork done on Mickey lately to make sure that he's not anemic
and to make sure there's not something else going on? I would suggest that you
have your vet do a small biopsy of the growth to get an exact diagnosis and to
rule out cancer. I think adenomas are common in older
One of my cats had a huge growth on her lip and five or six different vets
misdiagnosed it. We gave her all kinds of medicines. Finally, I found a vet who
knew exactly what it was and it was cleared up within a week. The same cat has
lymphoma and it took over a year to get a correct diagnosis. N
Hi,
I can only tell you my experience with chemo and lymphoma. You should, of
course, discuss everything with your vet.
One of my cats has lymphoma and has been through three rounds of chemo. When
the side-effects were just too severe I asked them to lower the dosage. I was
happy with my deci
Hi,
I am dealing with several cats that need major medical care myself, but I can
ask around to all my rescue friends. I am trying to find a good foster home for
a cat myself, he will need medication as he is going to have all his teeth
pulled. He is Felv negative but has chronic health problem
Well, as I mentioned I can make a donation to her boarding and I'll still ask
around for a foster home. I live in Northern California.

Hi,
Before I even read your last e-mail I was going to suggest an abdominal
ultrasound to look for lymphoma. One of our cats had lymphoma and it was
mis-diagnosed by 4 vets. She ended up having chemotherapy and did really well
for 7 years. She eventually died due to a mass in her esophagus
