Kenzie: I don't know about Transfer Factor, but had something to contribute about Holistic Vets. I don't think the lack of any in your area is a complete bar. My Fel Leuk cat Monkee went to a Holistic Vet in the last weeks of his life because I was desperate. I now realize that we should have been doing that all along, but my dad was a vet, so I just didn't know about some of the newer forms of treatment. My Holistic Vet, Dr. Susan Maier in Simpsonville, Kentucky, was great. I really think her positive attitude and treatments eased Monkee's pain and boosted his spirits for 2 extra weeks. Dr. Maier's treatments compliment and support traditional vet medicine (and she is a trained, "regular" vet too). So even if you are happy with your vet now, you can still work with a Holistic vet because they are not exclusive of each other. Dr. Maier's office was a far drive for me and my sick cat, so we only went there twice. Everything else we did over the phone and email-- yes, a vet that emails! If I needed to add another homeopathic med, she would tell me where to get it (usually natural health food stores- if you don't have those those, again, there's the internet), or she can mix up meds and mail them to you. I know she will do "consults" over the phone and email if you fax her the cat's medical records. You can "request a consult" from her webpage. If I were you, I would honestly contact her office and tell her your situation, and see if she would be amenable to helping you out over the distance by doing a phone consult, etc. I think it's important to realize that just because you may not yet have a Holistic Vet in your area, you are not out of luck. In this age of technology, if you have a willing holistic vet who uses that technology, I think it's worth it. She's also very Fel Leuk oriented- up on the latest research, she's had Fel Leuks herself, she knows all about supplements and will give you diet advice, and she has remarked to me about the vets who recommend putting them to sleep-- that they are in the "dark ages"- which is a good sign! Here's her website: http://www.horizonvetserv.com/ I hope you try her. You can tell her I passed her name on to you. -Caroline
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: RE: Felvtalk Digest, Vol 33, Issue 33Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 12:10:46 -0500 Hi Susan-My name is Kenzie and I would like more information on Transfer Factor if you have more...I have a male kitten who is FELV positive and is having a hard time. We had a two week bout of no appetite, severe weight loss, puking and diarrahea. He has since begun eating again and drinking but has no energy and I am wondering if this transfer factor would help him. I am hoping he is not going through some sort of failure like heart or kidney but do not see any signs of either besides his absent of playing. He lays on the couch all day until I get home and then will follow me and lay near wherever I am at the moment. He has fevers on and off. I am giving him Mega C Plus also but I would really like to do as much as I can for him. Do you think this would help him? Is there anyway to purchase a couple bottles at a time? How much does it run? I don't have money to purchase a huge case of it and we don't have any holistic vets here. I have had a hard time finding a vet that would even do anything with my kitties. The general idea in our town it to put them to sleep if they are positive. Our vet now does as much as he can because he understand they may have a good chance and I am willing to try but he has a very basic office. Any help or ideas or information from anyone is appreciated!!Thanks!
