Re: new list
Where is this list??? Really I am so happy to be a member of this list. It is so emotional when you have a sick kitty or worse yet lose your love one. I at least know I am doing the best I can with Junior because I joined this list. I am one of those people who if the vet told me I had to put him down from the get go I probably would have done it. Let me explain, I was already in such an emotional state because I missed that Pumpkin was sick and lost him. He was never tested but I assure you from his symptoms the outcome would have been that he was positive. Now Lionel came to live with me the same day as Pumpkin about 8 months before all this transpired. His testing showed FIV and FELV. I do think he probably contracted the FELV after he came to live here. I am sure based on his condition when he joined my household that he was already immunocompromised. But we were able to heal his wound and get rid of his eye infection without antibiotics. See at that time I could not get into see my vet because he was short staffed. Uh where am I going. Not sure. I did wind up PTS Lionel because after the DX i was not sure where I was to keep 3 sick kitties and 8 negative kitties. I should day 2 FELV cats, one FELV/FIV cat and 7 negative cats. I have a small place. Like I said emotional issues. One does not always make the right decision. This group has helped guide me since I joined. I miss the ones who left, but the new folks also bring new perspectives.

Re: new list ~
Please can we all work together? The kitties come first, imho. We need the benefit of everyone's wisdom, if you are willing.
