Re: Just wondering
I'm no tsure on the doses, but the purpose for the Vitamin C is to boost the immune system. Since FeLV is an immune disorder, you need to boost the system. I can tell you that you shouldn't give too much because they'll get the runs. Another good booster is Pet Tinic. There's another like it but I can't think of the name. I always used Pet Tinic. It's a blood builder. Loaded with antioxidants. www.drsfostersmith.com carries it.

Freeing Mia.
Hi everyone, Thank you Nina for the link to the yahoo feral group, what a great resource! To the best of my knowledge, our "colony" consists of just wild Mia (now spayed, wormed, vaccinated and flea treated), and a big grey tom that would occasionally stop by to check on her and the kittens. He comes quite infrequently and won't let us get close, but I suspect that he may belong to someone down the street, so I'll be knocking on doors this weekend to see if I can find an owner. We put food out and never see any other kitties, but if any show up, we will try to trap them as well. I felt so bad for Mia last night, we let her go, opened the carrier door and she went 30 yards like she'd been shot out of a cannon before slipping through the back fence. We will continue to feed and water her, though we have to sneak around my crabby MIL, who doesn't believe in feeding strays (or spaying, you'd think we'd get a thank you, all we hear are complaints from her). I think an igloo with straw hidden in the brush pile might help her out in the winter, if she'll use it.A backup caregiver would be heaven, (as we live 30 minutes away),I'll follow your suggestion and see if a local group might help us find one. Anyway, we stayed last night to play with Alice and watch the Apprentice, and Mia came to the back doormeowing for her kittens. Ran away again when I went to the door. I know I had to take them from her, but aaarrrgggh, such guilt!!! MIL hollered and said we'd have to retrap her and let her go someplace else.Nasty old crab. No danger of usactually doing that. Meanwhile, Alice was working her charms on Gary and I,she played nicely without hiding while we watched TV,ran up every few minutes to check in with us, purrand play, layed downfor quite a while right infront of the TV and stared at it with us, and then curled up in the crook of Gary's arm while purring and staring lovingly from his face to mine. If by any tiny chance she gets a negativeand we can't finda betterguardian, we willkeep her. If not,she has changed the adoptionequation from one of begging someone to "do us a favor and take the sick one", to "who is good enough to deserve the absolute honor ofsharinglife with thenicest kitten they'll ever meet." It would be lovely if that were us, but if I can find a home with more financial resources for treatmentsand fewer petsit might be better. (Ialso have 3 lovebirds andan African Grey, she's like having a 2 year old for life :o).Thank you Wendy, for your welcome,hopefully I'll be asking you for advice on mixingAlly with Blue in a few months. And thank you Belinda for thesupplement links and information.Ally's IFA should be in any day, but I never heard of the PCR, I'll look that up now.I'll post Ally'sresults as soon as I get them.

Re: Kitten newly diagnosed
I definitely agree about not keeping her on antibiotics and starting supplements. I don't know enough about Interferon to comment, but I will say as far as antibiotics go, make sure she is getting the proper dosage and staying on for the proper length of time. Not just what your vet says, but what the manufacturer says. I once discovered the vet was not giving Spaz enough of the med (I understand their desire to use the least effective dose, but you still have to give enough to kill the infection) and also that it could sometimes take extended periods of time in severe cases to fully eradicate the bacteria. Obviously, you don't want to use more than you need, but you also don't want to not fully eliminate the cause and let it gain strength again when her immune system isn't able to effectively fight it off once you stop the antibiotics. Being immuno-compromised, it will be harder for her to fight things off. Spaz was in the hospital for 9 days with her URI, and though her fever finally stayed down and she would eat, etc., she did not entirely stop sneezing for a whole month. By contrast, her sister, Gizmo (not felv+), caught the same infection (dirty humidifier filter), showing symptoms after Spaz and she was over it completely within the week. Anyway, best wishes for you and your little one!

Continuous use of antibiotics destroys an immune system, leads to resistance making these sweeties far too susceptible to future infections. I highly recommend that you start her on Interferon, as well as a combination of vitamin/mineral supplements to boost her immune system. I have had FeLV positive cats in rescue that were much worse off than Lucy completely turn around and live asymptomatic without the need to for antibiotics.

Without going into too much detail, they are now 7 months old and I have just learned that Lucy is positive. She is symptomatic, she had a high fever and URI in the beginning of May, went on antibiotics, but within a few days of being off the antibiotics she had a fever of 105.5, had difficulty walking, went from 5.9 pounds to 5.1 in a very short period of time, and was one depressed little kitty. She went on antibiotics last Monday and was diagnosed as positive that day. She has really perked up, she's gained most of the weight back, is running, jumping, and playing with Izzie, but the vet seems to think that as soon as she goes of the antibiotics she will most likely get sick again. I had Izzie tested and she is negative. After many discussions with three different vets I decided to keep them together as it seems most likely Izzie caught it and fought it already. I've made the decision that the quality of their life together is what's most important right now and hoping that Izzie stays negative. There seems to be a lot of conflicting pieces of information out there. Does Interferon work for kitties who are symptomatic? One of the vets suggested I just keep Lucy on antibiotics until they stopped working, he thought Interferon wouldn't help as she had advanced this far. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
