hi Natalie and everyone! thanks for all the food suggestions!! Good news! The Whimzer has resume eating - apparently, he was just very angry and disturbed that we changed his routine. Good to know for the future. It was quite a fright though. He started eating normally this morning. Now we can truly celebrate his good bloodwork. We are so grateful for each healthy minute this boy has. It is just about a year ago that the clinic 'gave us the option' of euthanizing him just because of his positive status. I was so happy to show them all how well he was doing, and I know that he will help the staff in encouraging others to keep their FeLV babies. My vet is so open minded and is delighted to see him become a beloved indoor guy. thanks all, Merry Christmas, Shannon

I bet some Feliway would help him too!

However, he went into 'frozen' mode, and it stressed him greatly. He was very well behaved, just petrified. He is very angry, depressed, scratching on his doors to get out today. He was yowling this morning at the doors. He hasn't eaten yet today either - just sniffs and walks away. I am not a big fan of vaccines in general, and was very torn, but ended up getting him rabies only, because he is a flight risk still. I don't know if his demeanor is a 'mild' vaccine reaction, or a stress related one, or both. He does not seem to have a fever, although he's not a kitty I can easily check this on; gums are healthy color. I am deeply grateful that his blood work was perfect (did a full panel); I did repeat snap test, just in case, and the FeLV was positive still and FIV negative. His heart/lungs sound good, and his mouth, etc., look just fine as well. I just talked to my vet and she will call in a cypro rx if we need it and is available all through the weekend for us (we love her!!) (though he might be a nightmare to pill, ditto with syringe feeding). I know all the other tricks, so I will let him nap for awhile and see if I can tempt him at dinner time. wishing you and your furbabies a Merry Christmas, Shannon and Whimsy _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
