RW worse?
How bad is her face now? Does she have open wounds, or is it
just irritated and hairless? I speak from personal experience... losing
hair is not that bad of a thing, my Mythic cat's allergies are so bad he is
often half bald... on his entire body. It will grow back eventually (RW is
temporary, unlike my poor Mythic's allergies, which are chronic). I would only
worry a lot if it is causing her to get irritated in her eyes (like eruptions
on the inside of the eye lids), or if it is open wounds. From what I have
heard, some of the treatments for RW are 10 times more dangerous than the
condition itself. On the FIV+ list a few months back there was a RW
discussion, and it was noted that the medication you said your cats are on (I
don't recall the name now, but I recognized it in your email) has been proven
to kill FIV cats. FELV is not that much different from FIV in regards to
immune system responses. You could join that group and ask them there for more
info... I don't recall the details now. It's

I
collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special needs cat who
must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life.
Bazil's caretaker
collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they add up until she earns a
free can of formula!
PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for
Bazil!
If you use KMR, even just one can, please email me for the NEW address to
send them to!
