[Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?
Just wondering if anyone knows if humans who are sick with a cold, the flu, etc can make a FELV+ cat sick. Magic is currently still asymptomatic (other than her diagnosis). I'm just wondering when we are sick if they are more susceptible with their weakened immune system. Thanks, Stephanie ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

I'm sick all the time with bronchitis and sinus infections (healthy, right?) and my FeLV+ cats have never gotten it. --Katy On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 2:24 PM, Stephanie (Merkel) Sherry steph.she...@yahoo.com wrote: Just wondering if anyone knows if humans who are sick with a cold, the flu, etc can make a FELV+ cat sick.

Re: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?
Not true. There are a lot of illnesses that can be transmitted between animals and humans, incluiding a lot of different types of colds. Here's a nice long list to scare yourself with: http://svmweb.vetmed.wisc.edu/pbs/zoonoses/ If the animals and the people are basically healthy it's not much of an issue. But with cats with compromised immune systems, whether they are kittens or elderly or FIV+ or FeLV+ or dealing with cancer, then they are more susceptible to all sorts of things. --- On Wed, 1/19/11, CATHERINE DIDONNA westnint...@yahoo.com wrote: From: CATHERINE DIDONNA westnint...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?

Re: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?
I doubt that they can catch our illnesses. But I have a question: my cat, Lucky (whom I inherited from my mother who died in November) has a chronic herpes infection in his left eye. Then I started getting cold sores on my nose, when I don't even have a cold. So, just wondering...could we share a herpes virus? ~Bonnie - Original Message - From: Stephanie (Merkel) Sherry steph.she...@yahoo.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 11:24 AM Subject: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?

Re: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?
I think it's an enigma - but I feel that since a common cold is not species-specific, I don't see how it couldn't be transmitted to cats with such a compromised immune systems! I'm always careful not to kiss or cuddle, even with healthy cats, although there's not much I can do about being with them. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Stephanie (Merkel) Sherry Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 2:24 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?

Re: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?
things like giardia are zoonotic, meaning that we can catch from them and vice versa - many parasites are like that. But, exactly, not these retroviruses. If you want to search you can google zoonotic diseases. another example is rabies, obviously zoonotic. --- On Wed, 1/19/11, Natalie at...@optonline.net wrote: From: Natalie at...@optonline.net Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Can Humans Make FELV+ cats sick?
