Re: Prayers needed for Inky -- to Hideyo

sub q is definitely better than drinking-- they get more fluids, I think, 
and it flushes the kidneys better.  When Josephine had renal lymphoma, the 
sub q fluids really made her feel better.
 
I know it is hard to give them to very small or thin cats, though.

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

[Lee Evans]

Try an overnight soak in 
Petzyme (purchased at PetsMart) or some other enzyme product that you can use to 
soak your clothes.  The mistake most people make with enzyme odor removal 
products is not keeping them wet long enough for the bacteria to work on the 
source of the odor.  It would also help if you had a place to store your 
clothes so your kitty couldn't access them.  I'm sure you hang them in a 
closet but try to place underwear and other items you store in dressers one 
drawer down from top and one drawer up from bottom.  That should leave you 
with two drawers.  You might also try adding plastic storage boxes to your 
drawers.  I have several spraying kitties who spray my dresser and the 
urine seeps into the drawers.  I solved the problem the above 
way.
 
Dr. Bronner's Lavender 
soap is excellent as a laundry soap, floor wash, counter wash, body wash, almost 
everything wash.  It's natural, no cancer-causing chemicals or chemical 
fumes pretending to be Lavender or Rose.  A bit more expensive then Tide 
but worth it for keeping chemical's out of your cat's environment.

Re: ot: Update on Antonio

Aloe vera gel is a good idea.  I would probably buy the gel, (aloe
only, no other additives or perfumes), at the health food store because
it would be more sanitary.  Funny, I'd have no problem putting aloe gel
direct from the plant on a sore of my own!  I used aloe gel on my
Gypsy's inflamed sores, (from IBD).  It really seemed to help speed the
healing process.  

It's so wonderful that you have such faith in your vet.  I've gone
through a half a dozen looking for one I can trust since my favorite
retired a couple of years ago.

Healing vibes to you and your big boy,
Nina

  Nina,
  Thank you so much.  I stayed home from work today -- I wasn't
feeling well - but mostly I was worried about my boy.  Since yesterday
he had been staying under the bed.  I put a big towel down by the bed
and laid there beside him - was up at 3am with the big lug applying
cold compresses - which he seemed to appreciate.  He just couldn't get
comfortable.  He's feeling a lot better now though.
   
  One thing I do respect about my vet is that he is an excellent
surgeon.  He did a 2 hour hip reconstruction on my parent's kitty (a
stray who came to me that they adopted)...he did an amazing job.  He
was so exhausted after that surgery - he had to go home.  Apparently
the poor kitty had been injured by a car or a fall well before they got
him and the little guy was in bad shape.  His back leg wasn't even in
the socket because he really didn't have a proper hip socket.  Now Mr.
Steve is the most gorgeous, healthy guy you've ever seen and doesn't
even have a limp.  Dr. Reid made him a hip joint.  His spay and neuter
surgeries are so far above the work you normally see - very tight and
concise incisions/stitches that heal beautifully.  He operated on Mama
Kitty too when she had a very bad abscess from a bite before she
transitioned to indoor living.  He truly is talented - which is rare
considering that he is a general practitioner out in the county and not
the least bit flashy or arrogant.  Even so - if there is any way we can
avoid surgery for Antonio - we will.  It will only be a last resort.
   
  Antonio is so smart -- he knows he has a drippy ugly bottom and
would not sit down until I got him some special towels LOL I am
probably the worst housekeeper on the planet - but he is so fastidious
and concerned that he wouldn't get on the bed until I put towels down
for him - and wouldn't sit in his favorite places in the den until I
had his special towels all around.  He knows they are just for him and
nobody else bothers them.
   
  I've been debating using aloe vera gel on him - I must have half
a dozen plants...but since he is comfortable now, I just don't want to
apply anything that might get his backside angry again.
   
  Sorry this is so long - I really appreciate you guys being there.

Update on Valley - and thank you

[Susan Loesch]

My big flamepoint Siamese, Valley, who had the 7 hematocrit, is much better!!  Thank you all for your prayers, good vibes and input.     He has now had two shots of Epogen.  Last night he came into the kitchen to drink water with the other kids rather than my taking a bowl to hiim.  He came into the den and jumped up on the couch - where he spent the night.   This morning I took him to the litterbox as I have been doiing and he jumped right out - which tells me that he is going on his own now.  Also, for the first time in almost a week I didn't have to syringe-feed him.  He ate Fancy Feast on his own.    My vet says his gums look better - I wasn't sure.    We are now doing a "hide and watch" - and wait and see if he continues to feel better and if his gums pinken some more.  We may go to an Epogen shot once per week.   I am very encouraged!

Aloe vera, is it poisonous? (was Update on Antonio)

[Nina]

Okay, while I was reading about aloes and aloe vera gel I did start to
remember something about the skin of the plant being toxic, (not the
gel from the inside).  I found this post from a Holisticat archive. 
I'm still confused after reading it, but I thought I'd pass it along
while I look for clearer answers:

ALOE(part used: leaf gel) vera vs ALOES (parts
used: dried leaf juice---the
following info was taken from the book "Herbal Medicines: A Guide for
Health-Care
Professionals", by Newhall, Anderson,and Phillipson; hardcover, 296
pages,
$77, available through the American Botanical Council 1-800-373-7105)

Aloe vera (Aloe vera and aloes are often
confused with each other) refers
to the mucilaginous tissue located in the leaf of Aloe vera or related
Aloe species. However, many documented studies for Aloe vera have
utilised
homogenised leaf extracts which therefore combine aloe vera with aloes,
the laxative preparation obtained from the bitter, yellow juice also
found
in the leaf. Commercial "aloin" is a concentrated form of aloes.

Aloe vera is obtained from the mucilaginous
tissue in the center of
the Aloe vera leaf and consists mainly of polysacharides and lipids. It
should not be confused with aloes, which is obtained by evaporation of
water from the bitter yellow juice that is drained from the leaf.Unlike
aloes, aloe vera does not contain any anthraquinone compounds and does
not therefore, exert any laxative action.

Hypoglycemic activity has been documented for
an aloe vera extract,
although it is unclear whether this is associated with the true aloe
vera
gel or the aloes extract.

The external application of aloe vera gel
during pregnancy is not thought
to be any cause for concern. However, products stated to contain aloe
extracts
or aloe vera may well contain gastrointestinal stimulant anthraquinone
components that are well recognized as the active constituents in
aloes(laxative).
As such, ingestion of such preparations during pregnancy and lactation
should be avoided.

ALOES

...recommended for the treatment of atonic constipation and suppressed
menstruation.

In human studies: the purgative action of the
anthraquinone glycosides
is well recognized, although aloes is reported to be more potent than
both
senna and cascara. An aloes extract in doses too small to cause
abdominal
cramps or diarrhea had a significant hypoglycemic effect in 5
non-insulin-dependant
diabetics.(Ghannam N et al. The antidiabetic activity of aloes:
preliminary
and experimental observations. Hormone Res 1986; 24:288-94)

Aloes is a potent purgative that may cause
abdominal pains, gastro-intestinal
irritation leading to pelvic congestion and in large doses, may result
in nephritis, bloody diarrhea, and hemorrhagic gastritis.

The drastic purgative action of aloes
contra-indicates its use in individuals
with hemorrhoids and existing kidney disease. In common with all
purgatives,
aloes should not be given to patients with intestinal obstruction,
abdominal
pain, nausea, or vomiting. Aloes colors alkaline urine red. Aloes is an
abortifacient and affects the menstrual cycle.

Thank you, Nina.  He's feeling better today.  He jumped on my tummy (all 22.5lbs) bright and early this morning LOL  He's up and about and no longer hiding under the bed.  At any rate, I felt comfortable leaving him to come to work today.  Maybe it's just me but it seems like Cefa drops work a lot better than Clavamox.

Brenda,
I am so sorry for Schumacher's passing, as well as the others.  This is just unfair after all you went through with Miss Kitty and her babies.  I think of them often and remind myself to appreciate each moment I have with my positive Will.  Your dear Schumacher reminds me to appreciate each day with my negs. as a gift as well.  Thank you.  I hope that your other fur-babies are strong and well.
 
Hugs,

Re: Aloe vera, is it poisonous? (was Update on Antonio)

[G. Lane]

Re Aloe Vera - it has some great healing 
properties.  There's a part of the plant that's 
toxic, but part of it is not. In general, I think 
that aloe juice is from the healing part of the 
plant, not the membrane that is or can be 
toxic.   I looked it up a few years ago and found 
a nice diagram, can't find it now though.


It's UNFORTUNATE that the web sites that label it 
as "poison" or "not poison" don't go into more detail.


For example, I use Georges Aloe vera juice 
routinely with cats, it's not poison, and has had 
some good effects on mouth problems for example, 
my Lucy had mouth inflammation and my acupuncture 
vet recommended it - and it worked great.


Also, acemanan is based on Aloe - go figure - this is from Wikipedia:
"Many of Aloe vera's beneficial properties are 
attributed to 
mucopolysaccharides 
present in the inner gel of the leaf, especially 
acemannan 
(acetylated mannans). An injectable form of 
acemannan manufactured and marketed by Carrington 
Laboratories as Acemannan Immunostimulant™ has 
been approved in the USA for treatment of 
fibrosarcoma 
(a type of 
cancer) 
in dogs and cats after clinical trials. It has 
not been approved for use by humans, and although 
it is not a drug its sale is controlled and it 
can only be obtained through a veterinary doctor."


A site called 
http://www.1st-aloe-vera.com/aloe-vera-currenthistory.htm 
- lists these significant dates and events:
"1991 - Ian R. Tizard, PhD, of Texas A&M, 
reported in the Journal of Molecular Biotherapy, 
that Aloe mannose was highly effective against 
feline leukemia and soft tissue cancer in cats and dogs.


1992 - Dr. James Duke, United States Department 
of Agriculture, approved the use of Aloe mannose 
as a treatment of soft tissue cancer in animals and feline leukemia."


Aloe is not to be written off  - it has some great healing properties.

Okay, while I was reading about aloes and aloe 
vera gel I did start to remember something about 
the skin of the plant being toxic, (not the gel 
from the inside).  I found this post from a 
Holisticat archive.  I'm still confused after 
reading it, but I thought I'd pass it along while I look for clearer answers:


ALOE(part used: leaf gel) vera vs ALOES (parts 
used: dried leaf juice---the following info was

Aloe vera (Aloe vera and aloes are often 
confused with each other) refers to the 
mucilaginous tissue located in the leaf of Aloe 
vera or related Aloe species. However, many 
documented studies for Aloe vera have utilised 
homogenised leaf extracts which therefore 
combine aloe vera with aloes, the laxative 
preparation obtained from the bitter, yellow 
juice also found in the leaf. Commercial "aloin" 
is a concentrated form of aloes.


Aloe vera is obtained from the mucilaginous 
tissue in the center of the Aloe vera leaf and 
consists mainly of polysacharides and lipids. It 
should not be confused with aloes, which is 
obtained by evaporation of water from the bitter 
yellow juice that is drained from the 
leaf.Unlike aloes, aloe vera does not contain 
any anthraquinone compounds and does not therefore, exert any laxative action.


Hypoglycemic activity has been documented for an 
aloe vera extract, although it is unclear 
whether this is associated with the true aloe vera gel or the aloes extract.


The external application of aloe vera gel during 
pregnancy is not thought to be any cause for 
concern. However, products stated to contain 
aloe extracts or aloe vera may well contain 
gastrointestinal stimulant anthraquinone 
components that are well recognized as the 
active constituents in aloes(laxative). As such, 
ingestion of such preparations during pregnancy 
and lactation should be avoided.


ALOES
...recommended for the treatment of atonic 
constipation and suppressed menstruation.


In human studies: the purgative action of the 
anthraquinone glycosides is well recognized, 
although aloes is reported to be more potent 
than both senna and cascara. An aloes extract in 
doses too small to cause abdominal cramps or 
diarrhea had a significant hypoglycemic effect 
in 5 non-insulin-dependant diabetics.(Ghannam N 
et al. The antidiabetic activity of aloes: 
preliminary and experimental observations. Hormone Res 1986; 24:288-94)


Aloes is a potent purgative that may cause

may result in nephritis, bloody diarrhea, and hemorrhagic gastritis.

Oh Susan, we all understand that feeling of being "cautiously

he's on the road to full recovery, but any improvement is cause for
celebration.  Live in the moment and when you do think about the

Re: Moses tested FeLv+ and FeLv- I'm confused!

[Jennifer Phaewryn O'Gwynn]

PCR is unreliable and a waste of 
money.
 
You must wait 120 days to be sure 
of ANY test result by ANY means, due to the nature of the virus:
 
Cats will test positive around 30 days post-exposure on the ELISA test. The 
pathogenesis of FeLV can take one of three paths. Cats can be transiently 
infected and then clear the virus around 12–16 weeks after exposure (meaning 
they can test positive, and then "turn" negative after around 90-120 days). 
They can also develop a latent infection, in which case both the ELISA FeLV Test 
and IFA test will be negative. Latently infected cats can harbor the virus in 
their bone marrow for years with no clinical signs. Most latently infected cats 
can eventually clear the infection, but in a small percentage, the virus can 
reactivate and clinical FeLV can occur later in life. This reactivation of 
latent virus explains why a nine-year-old cat that has tested negative and lived 
indoors alone may suddenly become ill and test positive for FeLV. Cats can also 
be persistently infected, clinical or nonclinical, but these cats may be 
shedding virus.

The skin of the aloe is toxic, the gel 
"juice" from INSIDE the plant is not. :)
 
It was discussed here about 3 years 
ago... I have good memory. There was/is an aloe-based product (Acemanann) 
that's used to treat FELV it's carefully extracted from the gel (the inner 
parts of the leaves), without any traces of the skin.

Great cat. Hard-working rescuer! Please contact me directly if you can help!
Thanks.

Denise, I've spent over $900 on Chatsworth. He had no skin on the back of
his forearms. I went to 3 vets before I found someone that knew how to close
the wounds. He now tested positive for FeLV and FIV. He is super, super
sweet, but I have never had to find a home for FeLV cat yet alone one
that had FIV too? We found homes for two toms that were FIV+ very quickly.
It surprised me because I had a beautiful long haired Calico with FIV that
took me a year to find a home for. This double whammy will be terribly hard.
Any suggestions?

Well, I guess I have six of one and half a dozen of the other.  About evenly 
divided for PCR being the best test ever and PCR being useless.  Groan!

  PCR is unreliable and a waste of money.

  You must wait 120 days to be sure of ANY test result by ANY means, due to the 
nature of the virus:

  Cats will test positive around 30 days post-exposure on the ELISA test. The 
pathogenesis of FeLV can take one of three paths. Cats can be transiently 
infected and then clear the virus around 12–16 weeks after exposure (meaning 
they can test positive, and then "turn" negative after around 90-120 days). 
They can also develop a latent infection, in which case both the ELISA FeLV 
Test and IFA test will be negative. Latently infected cats can harbor the virus 
in their bone marrow for years with no clinical signs. Most latently infected 
cats can eventually clear the infection, but in a small percentage, the virus 
can reactivate and clinical FeLV can occur later in life. This reactivation of 
latent virus explains why a nine-year-old cat that has tested negative and 
lived indoors alone may suddenly become ill and test positive for FeLV. Cats 
can also be persistently infected, clinical or nonclinical, but these cats may 
be shedding virus.

Re: Moses tested FeLv+ and FeLv- I'm confused!

[Jennifer Phaewryn O'Gwynn]

Depends on the lab and you never know WHAT lab your vet is going to send
it to.

Let me put it this way, a very valid study was done on the PCR test for FIV
(which, granted is different from FELV), and they tested several cats, some
who were positive, some were negative, and they threw in some DOG BLOOD,
just as a control. The PCR found FELINE FIV in the DOG blood.

To me, that's pretty much the definition of unreliable.

http://www.vin.com/mainpub/feline/aafpfelvdx.htm  states:
16. Other confirmatory tests, such as methodologies utilizing polymerase
chain reaction (PCR), may be useful but are currently unvalidated. Although
PCR offers a promising approach to FeLV testing, currently neither
production of PCR reagents (primers) nor testing protocols is standardized
or consistent.

(OT) Please send good vibes to my friend's cat, Emily, she has breast cancer.

[Jennifer Phaewryn O'Gwynn]

I just got this note from one of my friends that brought the feral colony up
to live with me:


I took 2 of my cats for check ups this evening...the vet found a breast
tumor in my 9 year old Maine Coon.  She's having a mastectomy tomorrow...I
just came home and looked it up on the internet and I see  that 85% of the
time it's malignantplease say a prayer for my baby girl...she's my first
cat and she's so smart that sometimes I swear she must be part humanI
can't believe this is happening...she doesn't like to be brushed or have her
belly messed with so I didn't know she had a growthonce the doctor
showed me where it was, I felt it immediatelyI feel so bad I didn't find
it.

Her name is Renee, and her cat's name is Emily. Please send good vibes,
prayers, etc for Emily! I told her she should join this group, since so many
people here have gone through the cancer thing. I know breast cancer is a
different kind than usually comes with FELV, but it's still cancer...

Maybe we could add Emily to the CLS service for next week???

Phaewryn,
Please tell your friend Renee her kitty Emily is in my thoughts  and prayers. 
Give her a hug for me and tell her we are here for her if  needed.
This is sad. My heart is breaking for her. I love Maine coons  too. 
My daughter's kitty was a Maine Coon mix that recently died. He  was an 
awesome boy. Love his size!
Yes, I agree she should join the group for at least support  anyway.

Re: ot: Update on Antonio

[Belinda]

  The first link I sent was from a vets website and my vet has told me 
the same thing.  Like anything it may not harm every cat the first time 
it's used but my thinking is if it could be poisonous it isn't worth the 
risk to me.  I am going to ask my vet about it again, it is on some 
lists and not on others.


http://dcn.davis.ca.us/vme/DrSue/

I'll do some research on it, but I've never heard that.  In fact, I 
heard the opposite, that it was safe for them to ingest.  I can tell 
you that it didn't hurt Gypsy.

  Found several more links when I typed "aloe vera toxic to felines" 
into google, couple of quotes below:


Dr. Jill A. Richardson, veterinary poison information specialist for 
the ASPCA 's National Animal Poison Control Center, warns that certain 
plants may prove harmful to cats. A partial list of these plants 
includes: Aloe Vera, ferns, Azalea, Baby's Breath, Clematis, Croton, 
Cyclamen, Daffodil, Diefenbachia, Geranium, most ivy & lily plants, 
Morning Glory, Pothos, Primrose, Rhododendron, and Tomato Plant. For a 
more complete list, go to the MORE ABOUT CATS page by clicking on the 
INDEX VIEW button near the top left of this page (under the page title 
Pet Care Tips), then scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the 
MORE ABOUT CATS page. (Source: Wendy Christensen, Cat Fancy magazine, 
June 1998) 



*Forbidden Flora*

But in addition to the unauthorized pruning of your plants, your cat 
could potentially become sick from ingesting certain forbidden flora. 
Many popular houseplants and flowering plants can be dangerous, even 
deadly, to your pet. Although not a complete list, some of the major 
offenders are:


* Aloe vera
* Amaryllis
* Azalea
* Corn plant
* Many ivies
* Members of the lily family
* Philodendron

Lots of angels will watch over Emily and Renee.  It is awful enough but when it 
is a first cat or very special cat  it is especially awful.  (even if Renee 
insists on insulting Emily by saying she might be any part human---she is all 
cat thank you).

exclude any of God's creatures
 from the shelter of compassion

 will deal likewise with their

for a too short of time,but I believe she led me to do what I do.Love all these 
wonderful sick furkids as much as I can for as long as we have them.Once again

Thank you, Terrie.  Antonio has been sassy tonight.  He rolled on his belly and 
wrapped around my foot...climbed inside a new box to check it out tonight when 
I got home.  He's been playing with some of his toys.  His backside still looks 
terrible but I do think he's a lot better.

Re: Update on Antonio

[etrent]

 
Thank you, Phaewryn.  I think that is a good practice.  He's very playful 
tonight and in good spirits.  (He just jumped up on the keyboard)  I can't help 
but think he's feeling pretty good...but to look at his backside still makes me 
wince.  I do worry that he might build up a tolerance if I give it too often 
such that if he does have to have surgery, the demerol might not be as 
effective.  I promise though - if he seemed at all in pain I'd be getting the 
vet out of bed.  It sounds like you have an excellent veterinarian.

You didn't mention your vet upping his pain meds... I do hope he's getting 
enough pain meds! MY vet wouldn't even let Tang leave the hospital until his 
butt inflammation went down to almost normal, due to wanting to be really 
consistent with the pain meds.

need prayers

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

Hi, everyone, I have a couple of kitties who are not feeling too well
and I need you to send them positive energy and white beam of light -
when you lose more than one kitties to FIP.. you become so paranoid..
when they sneeze, run fever.. you think they have FIP - and I am so
tired of being fearful of this disease - my older boy Rikki has lot lots
of weight and he is anemic and I am a bit freaking out, and my ayumi has
mouth sore and can't really eat and lost lots of weight and am not sure
whether I should do a dental for her for certain conditions that she is
in right now.. and my new rescued boy Toni, has had sneeze and running
fever today - and am a little bit paranoid and worried.

 

Please pray all of the babies are just going to be fine.
