Now there's an apt term, scrappy...I took some more pictures of Buddy today and I'll post them when I get a chance.  He has an old wound on one side of his face where the skin looks like it was badly abraded or even burned.  I think that may have been a healing wound when we first saw him.  We're so sad about him being FIV+.  Like I mentioned earlier, it's no surprise but no less heartbreaking for being anticipated.Becca[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  I had a Buddy too.

I'm back for a while again

2006-04-15 Thread felv



Hi everyone! Just dropping in to say hi and check out the goings-on lately. 
I find myself lately sitting at my computer wondering why I'm sitting there, 
cause there's no email or anything really to do. SO, I know going back on mail 
on this group will fix that! No lack of email here, right? 
 
Anyways, my condolences to everyone that has lost a baby while I was away, 
and hi to any newbies that have joined in that period. I'm Jenn, but probably, I 
know, not the only one (I'm going to change my name, but am undecided on what to 
change it to at this point).
 
If anyone in the North-eastern USA in the "New England" states has FELV+ or 
FIV+ cats up for adoption, I'd be happy to put them up on my NE adoption listing 
pages. 
 
I currently have one cat up for adoption here now, in rescue. He's a very 
sweet FIV+ boy, who gets along GREAT with kids and dogs, but has never seen 
another cat until he came here, and is just not so sure he cares for them (I 
think he thinks he's a dog). SO, if anyone in NE wants a GREAT FIV+ boy, healthy 
as can be, sweet, loving, even-tempered, good with kids and BIG dogs (his buddy 
was over 100lbs rotty/shepherd), send them my way. Zack would love to be part of 
a family, and not stuck in a cage all alone here.

Re: "Slight" positive

2006-04-15 Thread felv



Faulty test? Bad laboratory procedures? Could be any number of things, all 
the way from your vet got lab samples mixed up, to the testing kit was 
defective, to it's possible your breeder isn't god and can't control everything 
all the time, to maybe your breeder wasn't so reputable after all. OR, if your 
cat has ever been boarded or spent any time in a place other than your own home, 
she might have been infected there (highly unlikely unless you boarded her at a 
VERY nasty place where they let boarders interact). Anyways, there's lots of 
reasons HOW it COULD have happened, however unlikely. BUT, chances are, 
it's just a bad test result. Wait a month, go to a DIFFERENT vet (one that might 
have newer or a different batch of test kits). Then, if THAT comes back 
positive, have blood drawn and send off for an IFA, done at a large lab, not in 
house at the vet's office.

Hello Sylvia,

Sorry to hear about the results of the SNAP for your little boy. What  
I've read indicates that you will want to do another test with  
different technology sometime soon. An IFA might do the trick. I'm  
really not sure of what the (Idexx?) SNAP is vs. ELISA. Someone here  
could probably enlighten me. You might also want to do the same test  
in three weeks to three months.


In the meantime, a really good diet (Innova EVO, Felidae, etc.) and  
as little stress as possible are the way to go. Even if he doesn't  
have the virus, those are good steps to take for any kitty.  
Hopefully, this is just a false positive (not unheard of). Take care.

You're right, to everyone else he'll be just one more
outdoor cat who's disappeared without any warning or explanation.  There
were cats all over this neighborhood when we moved to this house 5-1/2 years
ago and they all seemed to live at a house across the street...an endless cycle
of kittens and more kittens.  Around the time TorTor died in July 2004, we
realized suddenly that almost all of them were gone.  It must have become
a hotbed of disease and death over there.  That was TorTor's home [sic]
and we believe Buddy is a close relative.

Buddy was so well behaved at the vet's.  He would have preferred not to
have his temperature taken, of course, and he didn't see why he should be still
long enough to get weighed.  He is a big boy...11.5#, mostly muscle! 
He was so relaxed and compliant for everything else, I just couldn't believe
it.  I'd been so sure he was going to put up a fight when they drew his
blood.  Sadly, he did test FIV+, but I knew in my heart that he
would.  His puncture wounds aren't as bad as I had feared.  They've
abcessed outward and there's a little drainage, but the tissue looks clean and
has good color.  He has a mild fever and they put him on clindamycin plus
Metacam for pain.  We'll have to wait and see how well he recovers from
the infection.  Now that I've had a better look at the wounds I think the
big fight must have happened at least a couple of days ago and he's going
through the worst part of the recovery phase right now.  We'll neuter him
once he gets past this.  Then what, I don't know.

I took him to a new low cost clinic that's nearer my home and has later hours
than our regular doc.  I was very pleased and impressed with the clinic
and staff, so this will be our new backup clinic.  My original plan was to
take Buddy back there for his surgery but now I want him to see our regular
doc.  The more I reflect on our experience with Paassht, the more I trust
her to take the approach with positives (of both kinds).

"Slight" positive

I am totally bewildered and am wondering if anyone out there can help shed 
some light.  My one year 10 month old Persian cat was tested for FELV/FIV 
with the SNAP test on Thursday and showed a "slight" positive for FELV.  
This blew me out of the water as I purchased him as a kitten from a very 
reputable breeder who has paper proof that all her cats are negative and 
vaccinated.  My cat has never been in contact with any other cats and is a 
strictly indoor pet.
 
How can this be???  Any ideas

2 FeLV+ Kittens Need Home - Please Read

2006-04-15 Thread Amy Wilkins
I'm writing about 2 male white kittens in Rochester,
NY that desperately need a home.  I just got a call
from a woman about her son who died suddenly and
unexpectedly.  I don't know the details but I know he
had 2 kittens that he loved dearly.  He adopted them
at 6 weeks old from our local humane society and a few
weeks later they both tested positive for leukemia. 
He had fallen in love with them and decided to keep
them, so they have been in a loving home since
September.  Now that the son has passed, the poor boys
have no home.  The family called about taking them to
our humane society and they said they would euthanize
them.  The family is devastated and just wants to find
a home for these 2 cats.  I am pregnant and have lost
my job because of being so sick and there is just no
way I can add 2 more to my batch right now. I have
been in bed sick for the past 18 weeks and can't even
think about introducing 2 cats right now.  I feel
awful for this family and for these cats that are so
sweet and full of life.  I know it is a long shot but
can anybody take them?  I would help set up transport
to get them to a new home.

Cindy,
That's wonderful news about Smokey!  How long does the vet intend to 
keep him on Winstrol?  I know there are people that treat with equistim, 
(Immuno Regulin), as a preventative, but because it is a bacteria used 
to stimulate the immune response, I would think it wouldn't be something 
that you would want to keep Smokey on indefinitely either.  Please tell 
us more about the protocol you and your vet have chosen for Smokey.

Karen,
Healing thoughts coming Ozzie's way.  Poor little sprite!  You could

   Thanks Wendy and everyone else sending well wishes.  I'm still 
tender when I sit too long but getting much better.

I'm so glad to hear you made it through your surgery
successfully.  What a blessing.  Prayers for your
quick recovery.  I hope that Bailey responds to the 
new herbs.  I will continue to keep him in my prayers.
