Re: Virbagen Omega Interferon - Availability in Canada

[cat-sculptures Lee Soper]

 Hi there, i am Sandra with Tabbs in Spain, I have just started my boy on Virbagen Omega, and thought that any information that you have would help you . so here goesIt cost me from my vets 403 euroes and the treatment is for 10 mu  2 treatments per bottle, the address on the leaflet is virbac SA-L.I.D. 1ere Avenue -2065m 06516 CARROS-francahope this may be of some help to you. sadly the cost is a lot, and if it works for my boy, I will be looking for another supplier, as I can not keep up with this cost every 3 weeks, Tabbs is on 1/2 bottle every other daygood luck Kindest Regards Sandra   --- "Marlene Chornie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: "Marlene Chornie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:51:49 -0500To: Subject: Virbagen Omega Interferon - Availability in Canada Hi All,       I found out a bit of information regarding the  "potential" availability in Canada.  According to a Senior Veterinary  Biologics Evaluator, Veterinary Biologics Section, Canadian Food Inspection  Agency - apparently the manufacturer had submitted all the necessary paperwork,  etc. for it to be approved for use in Canada, and it was "in the works" last  year and it's anticipated approval was around May 2005 (as I had previously read  somewhere).  However, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency had requested a  couple more items of information from the manufacturer, but they never heard  back from the manufacturer.  I wonder why that is???  I believe I have  the correct address for the manufacturer in France (?) and am considering  writing to them to ask them if they have any immediate plans for resubmitting  for approval here.     It's not the information I had hoped to find out, but it  does give us at least a glimmer of hope on the horizon for it being available  here in Canada.  I'm guessing that would make it a little easier for those  of you in the U.S to import it from here perhaps?   Marlene Pekoe & Angel Digby

Eddie appreciates all you did for him.  He was 
feral.  He was not supposed to be very friendly according to human 
understanding.  He considered you a very good friend in cat 
understanding.

FeLV + test results

[Karolyn Lount]

I learned something the other day I did not know. If a cat is vaccinated
against getting FeLV all its life it will test positive. So it could
very well be that a rescue cat that tests positive is not. This is what
my new vet told me. I feel this all the more reason not to put down
those that test positive. 

RE: FeLV + test results

[Chris]

I think that this is only for FIV vaccine, not FELV... but I may be wrong on
that

Re: FeLV + test results

[Belinda Sauro]

   Karolyn,
 Don't think I believe that, I have 6 cats and the only ones that get 
the FeLV vaccine are the negatives, it serves no purpose to vaccinate 
the positives. All of my negatives test negative after years of getting 
the vaccine.  Now I have heard that a cat that gets the FIV vaccine will 
test positive for it, maybe your vet meant that??

Re: FeLV + test results

[gary]

I'm pretty sure he meant if the cat was vacinnated against FIV, not FeLV.  I 
haven't heard anyone talking about FeLV vaccinated cats testing positive, 
but the Fiv vaccine will definately make them test positive for FIV and the 
worst part is that the vaccine is ineffective against the most common strain 
of FIV in the US.


Gary.

  I sadly have 3 babies to add - all 3 were about 2-2 1/2 years old.  
  My little Jack died on Jan. 21.  He was the sweetest little orange tabby 
  boy, no bigger than a 6 month old kitten.  During his last weeks he was 
  always cold so he always beat me to bed at night and was waiting under the 
  covers for me.  Our vet suspects that he had feleuk in his bone marrow 
  but we didn't test him - and on the snap tests he repeatedly tested 
  negative.
   
  On Feb. 8th I lost Cheyenne.  She was a little Siamese baby - small 
  but not as small as Jack.  She was definitely feleuk positive. She came 
  to me at 4 months from a Tx kill shelter -- in fact Gloria and I read about 
  her on this list - and Gloria went to Tx to pick her up along with a great big 
  ol' dlh orange tabby boy, Charlie, who is FIV+ -- and thriving.  For the 
  first few weeks I had to make Cheyenne let me hold her - and then one day in 
  my arms she just sighed this big sigh and relaxed and became my sweet outgoing 
  little girl.
   
  Then, on Feb 9, Sweet Willie Brown died.  He was a tiny tabby when 
  he came to our rescue group - spent his whole kittenhood  with one 
  sickness or another and the for the last year and a half was so thin that he 
  looked to be at death's door.  He also repeatedly tested negative and our 
  vet suspects feleuk in the marrow.  Just a few months ago extensive 
  bloodwork showed nothing but a little anemia and a slightly elevated white 
  count.  He finally began to put on weight and I took him to our Board 
  meeting on the 20th to show off how chubby he was.  He has always been a 
  favorite of everyone in our rescue group- and he spent the evening sitting on 
  one shoulder and then another.  Shoulders were his "thing".  I miss 
  that "out of nowhere" feather touch as he landed on my shoulder - have 
  shoulder will pounce.
   
  There are now 3 more angels in the heavens and I know they are playing 
  together, all healthy, at the Rainbow Bridge.

I agree with Chris.  That's not so with the FeLV vaccine.  My 
Siggie was always vaccinated and has always tested negative.

Condolences

[PEC2851]

I apologize for being away from active participation.  Lots going on 
here with my health, but that's neither here nor there.
 
I just wanted to say how sad I am to see how many fur-kids have crossed The 
Bridge...
So many innocents, taken away.  How sad.
 
I pray you all will find some comfort in the memories left behind and the 
knowledge that your babies are "healthy & whole" now, and romping together 
across The Bridge, waiting for the day you'll be reunited.
 
God bless you all You ALL are in my prayers & thoughts.
Hugs,
Patti
