Message-ID: <15377.48524...@web30903.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello, I tried sending a post several days ago, but my membership had not gone through yet so my post was rejected. I was asking for suggestions on how to get my FLV cat, Chloe, to eat. Very sadly, she passed away early yesterday morning. I wish I had found this group earlier, but from the time she started feeling droopy to the time she passed away was just three weeks - way too fast. Anyway, can anyone tell me what I need to do, if anything, to her cat tree, cat tunnel, litter box, toys, etc. before I pass them on to another home? I have read that the virus does not live long outside of the body, but have also read that a person should wait 30 days before introducing another cat in the home - leaving me to believe that perhaps her things may still have enough of the virus on them to get other cats sick. That is the last thing I'd want. Does anyone have any suggestions? ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] What to do after they die?
I am not talking about discarding anything! I was talking about disinfecting everything properly before using it for other cats! Yes, the virus needs a host but it does survive outside the body for a couple of hours, not even mentioning the secondary bacterial, viral and fungal infections a Felv cats can suffer from!

Re: [Felvtalk] What to do after they die?
It's true that healthy cats can get it, but since it needs a host to survive & does not last outside the body, there is no need to start throwing things out. Fears like this are what make people so scared of FeLV cats & why vets routinely euthanize them. I would never discard something just because an FeLV cat used it.

Re: [Felvtalk] What to do after they die?
I am so sorry about Chloe, Laura. I lost Celery 2 weeks ago. He went from healthy to dead in a week. I had made an appointment to have him euthanized on a Wednesday morning. Our appointment was at 3 PM. He went downhill in just those few hours. I put him in the car, got him to the vet's ten minutes away, filled out the paperwork, reached my hand down to pet him and he was already dead. In my case, I keep my FeLV cats in my heated garage away from my healthy cats. I have always wondered about the possibility of tracking the virus in on my feet or on the dogs' paws. --- On Sun, 11/7/10, Laura Svoboda wrote: From: Laura Svoboda Subject: [Felvtalk] What to do after they die?

So sorry about your kitty. I never do anything special. Just clean like they had a cold. I wouldn't do anything. Her tree will be fine.

Re: [Felvtalk] What to do after they die?
Im so aorry for your loss. My vet said the virus lasts only a short while outside the body, a minute or so. Healthy adult cats have good immunity to it anyhow. I have lost several felv cats, and never do any extraordinary cleaning or waiting when they pass away. In my opinion don't worry about it.

Re: [Felvtalk] What to do after they die?
I'm sorry to hear about your cat! You have done all you can. I'm struggling with trying to get a cat to eat right now myself. I'm force feeding her with AD now. A couple of syringes at a time. The Felv virus can only survive a couple of hours, but there are other bacterias of secondary infections Felv cats can suffer from that can still be around in the house and on the things your cat used. My vet told me to disinfect everything you can wash and wipe down (like bowls, litter boxes and blankets) with a bleach and water dilutions. All the things I couldn't wash or wipe down (like the cat tree) I sprayed with Lysol, several times. But just to make sure I would wait several weeks before you give it someone else. 2010/11/7 Laura Svoboda > Hello, > > I tried sending a post several days ago, but my membership had not gone > through > yet so my post was rejected.
