The cat is not very social so I didn't even know anything was wrong ( my son is 10) He thought Yoshi just didn't want to come out from under the bed and play. Then tonight he comes out of his room in a panic saying that Yoshi is dead. I go get him under the bed and he is very weak and thin and lightly coughing and has a small nasal discharge.

Re: Nina's Timmy

Hi Nina,
I'm glad Grace is feeling better. I don't know about Timmy. If the sneezing continues I'd go ahead and take him in. If he tests positive you know you need to treat aggressively. I lost my first positive to an upper respiratory infection that quickly turned to herpes and almost pneumonia..
tNina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Everyone,I just mentioned my Timmy to Michelle L. He's the one that miraculously tested negative, (remember the big debate over PCR testing to determine if FeLV is sequestered in bone marrow?). Anyway, as you know, my household and feral colony has been fighting some sort of bug lately. Tim had some sneezing and congestion and his third eyelids have been up for over a week now. I'm starting to get concerned. I should probably take him in to be tested while he's exhibiting symptoms, (because he's more likely to show positive then), but when it comes right down to it I'm chicken about what I'll learn. He seems perfectly healthy, except for his eyes, well he's a bit more skittish, but he can't see as well! I have him on IA and TF when I can get him to eat it. Do you think I should worry? Do you think I should have him tested? I'm trying
to figure out exactly what good it will do me to know for sure he's positive, (I'll never know for sure he's truly negative). My first bottle baby, Queen Ursula, had nictating membranes for a couple months at one point. The vets were never able to tell me why. An AC acquaintance told me it was because she didn't want to see how crowded the house was with cats at the time. Who knows, she may have been right. The condition went away without any other indications ever presenting themselves.Grace is doing much better. She's still sleeping more than usual, but yesterday she was very naughty, so I take that as a good sign. When she starts beating up Kimba again, I'll know she's made a full recovery.Thanks,Nina

Re: OT - different article on PETA in NC

Well,  I don't know what's going on, but both these links are sponsored by the Center for Consumer Freedom.  The center for consumer freedom is against all animal rights and animal welfare groups and animal welfare laws.  For example they believe that puppy mills should not be put out of business because it's their consumer right to raise puppies in farm type conditions to produce 'cheaper goods' for consumers.  etc... etc They don't believe circus animals should be 'protected' because it's the consumer's right to go to a circus. etc.

Re:Misha

Melody,
The drippy butt sounds like IBD to me. I've never heard of it being associated with leukemia... As everyone else said, you don't have to worry about exposing the baby to Misha. You might want to purchase a large dog crate/kennel or confine her to the bathroom when she has these flare ups though.
Usually IBD is diagnosed through an ultrasound of some sort. Someone else would have to give you more info. here. I have a kitten that used to go through this who is negative for leukemia. We were getting ready to have an ultrasound though and he cleared up and hasn't had it now for several years (fingers crossed!).
Is their diet always the same? Does she get treats? Is there any way you can trace her bouts of diarrhea to her diet?

I would retest him in a year at his annual exam, 
just because you'll already be there, and it can't hurt anything, and it may 
help ease your mind. I wouldn't do it any time soon, or make a special trip to 
do it, as really, what difference will it make? The important thing is that he 
is doing good, and not having any problems. If he gets sick, and you have to 
take him in, you could always retest then, but hopefully, your next vet visit 
will be a year from now for a routine physical!

Melody,
One of my 3 kitties is + also, and while he doesn't have "drippy butt" he is still fine to be around me (I am expecting too- the vet and the OB said no problem, as did the friends on this list!).  The FeLV, from all the reading I have been doing and the help of these wonderful people, there is NO WAY a human can get FeLV or come to any harm from it.  I am praying that something will help the intestinal problems.  Keep Misha at home and love her, and your new baby will have a good friend too.

That's great Tad, and this has always been my concern, the rescue of
the FELV+ cats from this "rescue". I will pass your letter on to Kara
and Holly (those are the two local rescue ladies who have direct
contact with the AW case). Peaceful Kingdom is the rescue in TN that is
working to save as many of the AW cats as possible (but they don't say
their intended fate for the pos kitties). I THINK that Kara and Holly
work for them, but I am not sure of that, I will ask how they are
connected, and I believe I have already invited at least one of them to
the group, but I will ask them again.
  
  
Your very generous offer to use your garage will be well received, and
they very well may need to take you up on the offer. I'm here in VT
too, Tad, and if you need any help, I am more than happy to come lend a

RE: Misha

I am sorry that your Misha is having a problem - how long is she having
a problem?  Was there any changes on the diet or environment?  Have you
run a blood panel to see exactly what's going on with her?  How did your
vet come to the conclusion that the problem is caused by the virus?
 
When you mentioned that you are worried about exposing the baby to her -
what will be your exact concern?  Please know that Misha is not in any
danger to your baby at all - 

It might be more difficult to pay extra attention to Misha once the baby
is born, but please try - she is going to need your love and care even
more so - 
I really hope that you will not put her down while she is still lively
and playful and enjoying her life - she loves you, when it's really time
for her to cross (hopefully it's not going to be any time soon at all),
she will let you know - 

There are lots of supports here - and we are here for you and Misha -
Hugs to you and Misha.

Hey out there I need some sugeestions/feedback about
Misha and what we should do with her.

Misha is six years old and tested pos for FeLV. We have
had her for almost 6 1/2 years. She is in good health
and none of the other cats (all share the same wate
dish) have FeLV. Misha's FeLV shows up, according to
her vet by attacking her intestines. She has chronic
bouts of what we call drippy butt. She leaves little
presents aorund the house. She has been on various
medications and recently the vet suggested Kaopectate
or Pepto Bismo, which made her problem worse.(gave her
pain and lots of diahreha) I have read aobut
medications to treat FeLV, none of which cure it just
maybe ease the symptoms. Does anyone else have a cat
with this type of FeLv and if so what do you do? Also
give me some feedback. We live in Gainesville, Fl and
my husband and I are expecting our first child in the

RE: Bramble









Michelle, I am sorry that Bramble is
having a problem – a skin problem is one of the hardest thing to identify
the cause of – as I read different materials – symptoms tends to
show on their skin easiest as it’s very surface of their body – 

 

Have you happened to change the diet at
all?  I had one of my kitties whose patch started out as a size of penny,
in weeks, it ended up being a size of my hand – it always looked raw and
bloody, and did not know what was causing it – I tried different thing –
I did not use steroid because I was worried about side effects – I don’t
know exactly what worked – but I used an ointment (can’t remember the
name – but  I have it at home – it has a bit of steroid in it,
and it’s yellow) – and finally got better –

 

I also have a friend whose kitty had a
very bad skin problem,  and she was on steroid shot every 6 to 8 weeks or
so, and the owner did not want to do it anymore – and she changed her
diet with no preservatives and no more tap water, and she told me that her
kitty got better 100% - 

 

I am praying that Bramble is only going to
get better – keep us posted!

demand a different vet. He either has an allergy which I suspect as he has

we can be sure that ear mites are not the problem as he also had the revolution

has a bit of a runny nose and scratches her ears and she hasn't got ear mites

jab to stop the itching.





 





I am scared because this is what happened
to my last FIV girl before we knew she was FIV - after they withdrew
treatment in preparation for dermatology her system collapsed. So he most
likely has an allergy and seizure problems and needs treatment for both. I'm
not sure if steroids would interact with seizure meds and his heart med.

RE: Please - I need another big prayer for George!!









I know – the main concern with
George is that – I have got to catch him while his appetite is there –
otherwise a trap won’t do any good – he already doesn’t have
much appetite – though when he doesn’t eat anything at all –
he still comes to my yard which is blessing to me -

I have successfully trapped cats a 2nd time.  It's not as easy,

the fish net if you've had luck with it in the pas though.  It's so hard

oral infections









Is oral infection common among feLV kitties, or is this more
for FIV kitties - ?

Gerge & Carl update









I talked to an AC (Dr. Ryan) about George and Carl last
night and this morning –

 

George said, that he has soar in his mouth (I don’t know
if he has any virus at this point – can’t remember whether FIV or
FeLV causes soar inside of the mouth, anyone??) and he has a headache and feel
nausea, feels weak – he is definitely very sick – almost every
other times when he comes to my yard to eat, he can’t eat anything at all
– and I get very worried – I (through dr. Ryan) was trying to
explain to him that please trust me and I want to make him feel better by
taking him to a doctor – he was a bit skeptical about the idea, he said
he would consider it  – anyway, I am going to see if I can catch him
with fish net this weekend – if he is not sick, I should be patient and
wait and have him get used to a trap again, but I am so worried that if I wait
too long, he may become too sick to come to me – I feel a lot of
pressure, because I can’t screw it up this time - if I do, he will not
trust me again and won’t be able to catch him –

 

Carl was neutered this morning – and wanted to let him
know that he was going to be so that he wouldn’t be surprised –Also
I asked him how he is doing physically and emotionally (he turned out to be
FIV+) – anyway, he said that he feels bewildered and confused, and he
feels tired, and feel cramps in his tummy sometimes – I really couldn’t
find out more about “being wildered” part as we are running out of
time to take him to the vet this morning – but he kept repeating it many times
– I first saw Carl several months for the very first time, and you knew
that he used to belong to someone, and all of sudden, he was on street trying
to live on his own – Dr. Ryan suggested that we can ask him about where
he has come from, and why he feels that way next week when she returns from her
trip if I wanted to..  

 

By the way, Carl has some type of stringy thing coming out
from the surgery site – the vet said that it is a tissue – if you
leave it alone, it will get cut off naturally (like a belly cord?) – but he
keeps licking at it, and have not seen anything like that before – has anyone?
I really don’t have to worry about this?

Peggy,
I'm sorry about your losing Thorne.  Such cute names, they all fit 
together so well, I'm guessing the cats are like that too.  If I were 
you, I'd bring Flower home.  The three cats were together for a long 
time, I think if Flower were going to become positive, she probably 
would have already.  Petal may have had the virus when she came to you, 
you can't know that she got it from Thorne.  Is Flower vaccinated 
against FelV?  Is she healthy and strong?  I understand your wanting to 
protect Flower, but I think the quality of life is as important, maybe 
even more, than the quantity.  She must be missing you and Petal,  and 
wondering why she's been taken away.  You are all mourning the loss of 
Thorne, it's such a shame to have the other two separated as well.  No 
one can guarantee you Flower's safety, but we never have any guarantees 
in this life anyway.  My thoughts are with you.

RE: flower and petal









Peggy, I also now remember seeing the
article about – most of the cats have been exposed to the virus, (can’t
remember whether it was 60 or 80% according to the article, but anyway, it was
some significant number) but only a very small percentage will become infected,
and I am hoping that Flower is one of the majorities that do not get effected –


 

I also read a book written one of the very
famous vets, about how most of us think that these virus (whether it’s
FIV, or FIP or FeLV) are the which are killing our babies – however, these
disease are really not so much about the virus itself, but about their immune
system – when they are stressed and their immune systems are down, they
are more likely to susceptive to these virus whether they have been already
exposed or not – as for the corona virus, again most of the cats will be
tested positive for the virus titer (90% of mine are), but only small percentage
of them will develop FIP – again, it’s really not so much about the
virus as they are all exposed to it, but unfortunately only some with weak
immune system whether it’s generic or emotional or physical stress might
develop it – 

 

So, I guess what I am saying is that,
Peggy, I feel that creating stress free environment for our babies will be the
most primary thing for us for them and anything else (including any integration
issue due to the virus) will become secondary -

Hi Peggy,





 





If I recall Thorne is the cat you lost?  If so, then if Flower and
Petal were both with Thorne for that amount of time I would think that if Petal
were going to get the leukemia she would already have it.  If it were me I
would bring Flower home.  That's what I did anyway.  My positive was
miserable at my mother's and her best buddy was miserable here without
her.  None of the other cats ever caught it from her and I have since
brought in another positive that I knew in advance was positive.

That's great Tad, and this has always been my concern, the rescue of the 
FELV+ cats from this "rescue". I will pass your letter on to Kara and 
Holly (those are the two local rescue ladies who have direct contact with 
the AW case). Peaceful Kingdom is the rescue in TN that is working to 
save as many of the AW cats as possible (but they don't say their 
intended fate for the pos kitties). I THINK that Kara and Holly work for 
them, but I am not sure of that, I will ask how they are connected, and I 
believe I have already invited at least one of them to the group, but I 
will ask them again.


Your very generous offer to use your garage will be well received, and 
they very well may need to take you up on the offer. I'm here in VT too, 
Tad, and if you need any help, I am more than happy to come lend a hand. 
(I'm in Hardwick, not sure I remember your location, though I recall 
you're also in VT, right?).


I have not gone through my email from yesterday yet, I'm sure I have an

Actually its the children's book market that is harder to break into than the adult book market. All the actors & actress, muscians, sports figures etc. are taking a side-line writing children's books and the publishing houses are eating them up.

Re: Fwd: [NJCares] Attention: Noah's Ark Rescue / Blind Kitten -Attention Kat

2005-06-17 Thread Mari Kolbe

I am so glad to see that this kitten is indeed going to be rescued.  The request for help has been posted on a dozen different lists by many people.   There have been a couple of offers to rescue this kitten but no one seemed to know if the kitten still needed help or had been rescued.  It would be nice Kat, if you could have the original poster you responded to forward this information to the original list with the request to cross post so that first everyone would know this little one has a home, secondly it does all of us in rescue good to see a happy ending to a rescue story - it is what keeps us going and thirdly time spent posting this kitten's plight could be then spent on the next little one who needs our help.  I know that there is a little blind kitten in Clayton, Alabama that really needs help finding a home and possibly one of the individuals who expressed interest in your little guy could arrange to have him transported to them.

Again, Kat - thanks for posting that he had been rescued and bless you for opening your home and your heart to this special little kitten.  We provide a forever home for special needs babies and have several little ones who are blind from birth defects, URI's or torture - they have got to be the sweetest little creatures.

Hi, I 
mentioned to you a little bit, but I have been trying to capture one of my feral 
boys, George for a couple of weeks now, I feel like he is getting thinner to me, 
and he barely  eats (he sips juice from fish can’s soup) and 
I am just so worried about this guy – He does not go into a trap since I screwed 
it up last time, so I feel like the only chance I have in order to catch him is 
with a fish net – I caught three cats in the pat with fish net – it’s more 
riskier than trap, but I feel like I shouldn’t wait too long to catch him 
because of his health condition– and don't know any other way that I can - I also have 
an appointment to talk to Dr. Ryan (AC) so that I can find out more 
about his condition now -  and if she has any meditation or suggestions as 
to how I can catch him succesfully before it's too late 
-

According 
to Jasmine (AC)  whom I 
spoke with a couple of weeks ago , he has a moderate kidney 
problem and might have an infection with one of his long teeth (I have given 
some antibiotics in his food for a couple of time) – he is also willing to be 
adopted by me (at least he is willing to give a try) –
Please pray that I can successfully 
catch him very soon and he will be safe and Ok until I can catch him! 
  Thank you!

Re: Bramble's Fur

Amber is great now, she still has some times when she scratches the fur away by her ears, but we assume it is all stress related, she also sometimes gets a bald spot inbetween her shoulder blades, that comes and goes also. I did not put her through any tests, because of her being FeLV+ but overall she is great. Does Bramble seem stressed?

Nina,
 
You're funny.  Well, thanks so much for the positive kick-in-the-ass!. 
 
I've often thought of trying to self publish a series of books, or a 
collection of short stories with illustrations featuring the "throw 
aways" of the animal world.  (Ah, but alas...if I wanted to get the 
money together...I'd have to stop picking up animals in order to save 
enough to publish.) 
 
I have one started called "Too Old To Learn" that's a combination of 
true stories about older animals, rescues and pound critters that 
stresses that not only puppies & kittens can be taught, but older 
"used" animals can learn to break bad habits and be wonderful 
companion animals.  The chapters include: "Frankendog"- about an 
ancient, (horribly unattractive-God bless her), mange-ridden beagle, 
Mabel, who finally gets a real home for the first time in her life - 
we think she was a breeder dog who lived in a crate her whole 
life...the SPCA estimated her age at 14..., "The Original Poodle" - 
about a dog, K.C., I found wandering on North Avenue in the early 
90's...once we had her shaved you -Honest to God- could see EVERY bone 
and tendon in her body.  The vet who shaved her actually walked out 
into the waiting room to prepare the other clients for her appearance 
before we carried her through.  "Puddles" - the story of a dog, 
Schatzi, who was submissive to start with but was turned into the 
pound because her owner was afraid her husband would "dicipline her to 
death"...she would urinate & duck everytime someone looked her in the 
eye or reached for her.  "Broken"- a three legged white lab/terrier 
mix, Max, who not only charmed his way out of the pound but won over 
an entire elementary school & its administration.   "Demolition Dog", 
-Moose, a huge brindle mastiff/great dane mix who was surrendered to 
the pound because he was "impossible" to train...and he was, until 
Taz, an older great perinese (sp?) who had been trained as a helper 
dog for the deaf was surrendered too.  Taz did what no human could 
do...teach Moose to be civil and obedient.  "Jezebell" - a skinny, 
old, mangy long-haired cat that shredded every volunteer in the 
shelter, but eventually learned not only to enjoy, but ask 
for grooming.  "Cats are Friends, NOT Food" -story of a 
rescued-neglected standard poodle, Basha, approx.5-6 years old and 
Jerrycat, (7 or 8 yrs. old), an 100% outdoor cat that chose instead to 
live at the house up the street (Basha's house), BUT had to train 
Basha to accept that cats were not fast food first- something that her 
humans could not manage to do.  It took two years but he finally wore 
her and her people (really NOT cat people to begin with) down...and 
now not only does he have control of the housebut he and his 
brother use Basha as an afghan in the winter.
 
As you can tell, I've had more experience with dog rescue than cat 
rescue...Quintapus was my first cat.  I came to this website after I 
rescued a Felv+ cat, Simms, and found his person on this list.
 
(Since I've had so many bad experiences with "charities" I figured if 
I ever managed to get them published, I'd use part of the money to 
help fund vet bills for families that adopt special need animals - to 
encourage them to do so.  That way I KNOW where the money is going and 
that its being used wisely and NOT going to fund the non-profit 
shelter owner's mistress' boob job...but that's another story.)
 
If I ever do manage to get published Nina, I'll let you know.  Of 
course, I'll have to...I'll need more stories...  :-)
 
Thanks again.

She is purring all the time when I look carefully at her, so it is purring breaths, but it seems twice as fast as the other cats.  I tried to count her breaths but can not see or feel them, only can hear the purrs through her nose. She is otherwise eating, playing, purring, etc. normally.  I of course always fear lymphoma because I have lost mine to that.  Some of you have had cats with lung tumors.

He will need to go back to the vet tomorrow but he is not going to that particular vet - I'll demand a different vet. He either has an allergy which I suspect as he has scratched around his ears since coming here despite having his ears syringed - we can be sure that ear mites are not the problem as he also had the revolution treatment. It may also be seizure related though as he also was tugging at fur on his leg whilst grooming so I don't know. But saying that Minstrel also has a bit of a runny nose and scratches her ears and she hasn't got ear mites either. I will try a different food. Hopefully the vet will give him a steroid jab to stop the itching.
 
I am scared because this is what happened to my last FIV girl before we knew she was FIV - after they withdrew treatment in preparation for dermatology her system collapsed. So he most likely has an allergy and seizure problems and needs treatment for both. I'm not sure if steroids would interact with seizure meds and his heart med.

But its a nice thought.  (While I agree that Felv cats shouldn't be put down because of their health issuesQuintapus wasn't an Felv cathe had heart, asthma and CRF problems instead.)Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Tamara,It's nice to hear you relaying fun memories of your darling Quintapus. You should write some of these down, he was a special man, it would be wonderful to share how special he was with others. Hey, maybe a children's book, I bet kids and the parents would get such a kick out of his antics! (Gloria was just talking about a kid's book). It would be a wonderful legacy to help educate the worth of our Felv darlings to those who still think it's appropriate to euthanise them when diagnosed. Do you have any artist friends who could draw the pictures? Think about it, okay?Ninatamara stickler wrote:> NOPE, he was just a plain ol' little med-haired black and white who > was absolutely certain that he was a pure bred!

Nina,
 
You're funny.  Well, thanks so much for the positive kick-in-the-ass!.  
 
I've often thought of trying to self publish a series of books, or a collection of short stories with illustrations featuring the "throw aways" of the animal world.  (Ah, but alas...if I wanted to get the money together...I'd have to stop picking up animals in order to save enough to publish.)  
 
I have one started called "Too Old To Learn" that's a combination of true stories about older animals, rescues and pound critters that stresses that not only puppies & kittens can be taught, but older "used" animals can learn to break bad habits and be wonderful companion animals.  The chapters include: "Frankendog"- about an ancient, (horribly unattractive-God bless her), mange-ridden beagle, Mabel, who finally gets a real home for the first time in her life - we think she was a breeder dog who lived in a crate her whole life...the SPCA estimated her age at 14..., "The Original Poodle" - about a dog, K.C., I found wandering on North Avenue in the early 90's...once we had her shaved you -Honest to God- could see EVERY bone and tendon in her body.  The vet who shaved her actually walked out into the waiting room to prepare the other clients for her appearance before we carried her through.  "Puddles" - the story of a dog, Schatzi, who was
 submissive to start with but was turned into the pound because her owner was afraid her husband would "dicipline her to death"...she would urinate & duck everytime someone looked her in the eye or reached for her.  "Broken"- a three legged white lab/terrier mix, Max, who not only charmed his way out of the pound but won over an entire elementary school & its administration.   "Demolition Dog", -Moose, a huge brindle mastiff/great dane mix who was surrendered to the pound because he was "impossible" to train...and he was, until Taz, an older great perinese (sp?) who had been trained as a helper dog for the deaf was surrendered too.  Taz did what no human could do...teach Moose to be civil and obedient.  "Jezebell" - a skinny, old, mangy long-haired cat that shredded every volunteer in the shelter, but eventually learned not only to enjoy, but ask for grooming.  "Cats are Friends, NOT Food" -story of a rescued-neglected
 standard poodle, Basha, approx.5-6 years old and Jerrycat, (7 or 8 yrs. old), an 100% outdoor cat that chose instead to live at the house up the street (Basha's house), BUT had to train Basha to accept that cats were not fast food first- something that her humans could not manage to do.  It took two years but he finally wore her and her people (really NOT cat people to begin with) down...and now not only does he have control of the housebut he and his brother use Basha as an afghan in the winter.
 
As you can tell, I've had more experience with dog rescue than cat rescue...Quintapus was my first cat.  I came to this website after I rescued a Felv+ cat, Simms, and found his person on this list.
 
(Since I've had so many bad experiences with "charities" I figured if I ever managed to get them published, I'd use part of the money to help fund vet bills for families that adopt special need animals - to encourage them to do so.  That way I KNOW where the money is going and that its being used wisely and NOT going to fund the non-profit shelter owner's mistress' boob job...but that's another story.)
 
If I ever do manage to get published Nina, I'll let you know.  Of course, I'll have to...I'll need more stories...  :-)
 
Thanks again.

Oh honey, you have all the inspiration and creative tools to really pull this off! Please don't let yourself be discouraged by rejections! I was floored when I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was turned down by an absolutely ridiculous number of publishers. I can't remember exactly how many, but it was such a lesson to me in tenacity! Have you ever looked into the smaller publishers? My husband had a novel published by a small regional publisher because of the special interest the local in the story held for them. Perhaps you could get just enough of a story line and a few pictures to "pitch" the idea to smaller publishing houses. You could also think about approaching rescue groups or animal activist groups with the idea of paying for publishing and a portion of the proceeds could go to their charities. Have you ever
 looked into how much it costs to publish on your own? I'm telling you girl, I think you should chomp down on the bit with this one, the powers that be will be with you on this!I'm sorry I mistakenly thought Quintapus was positive, you spoke so much about him I thought he was positive too. If you want a cheering section on creating the book, I would love to be involved in any way you'd like. (I'm going to be quietly cheering you on anyway!).Let me know where and when I can get a copy of his book!Ninatamara stickler wrote:> Actually Nina, I AM an illustrator/sculptor.
