Hi, I just wanted to ask you to take a moment to send a prayer 
for my most gentle kitty, Rikki who crossed the bridge to heaven tonight – he 
had the most peaceful crossing –though I was in the same are as he was resting 
(on the couch), I regret that I was not right besides him and was not holding 
him as I ma sure he would have liked –  I was so exhausted and laying on the 
floor and felt sleep and woke up and he had passed already – I feel badly that 
I was not holding him.. Though he was so weak towards the end, every time, I 
could go and call his name, he would meow for me like he has done for the past 
several years I have had – I couldn’t wish for a much more perfect than rikki – 
   
  I don’t know for sure if he had FIP for sure,, as it impacted a different 
part of the organ in his case (kidney) – though I know it was not CRF, as his 
kidneys were just fine two weeks ago.  I was talking to someone today in rescue 
business – and there seems to be more FIP cases in our area for some reason – 
so Susan, in a sense you were right, there is something going on that no one 
knows about – there is more incidents for FIP in the area at least than every 
in the past.. and don’t know why..Right now I am in despair and tired..
   
  I have 4 other kitties who are showing a partial of symptoms in other kitties 
who have passed away, and very paranoid. and I put all of them on FOI 
interferon hoping that I am catching everyone early enough that can reverse 
anything going one.. I am praying that I have seen the last of FIP tragedy at 
my household..
   
  I also found out that one of my dogs JoJo who is 8 years old mix of chow and 
shepherd may or may not have cancer – his one of eyes is bleeding a bit and has 
a big tumor in his gum.. and has blood in his urine. The vet was not crazy how 
his eye and tumor looked.. we did an impression on him and see if we can find 
more – please send a prayer to JoJo and send a healing energy that he is going 
to get better –
   
  Also, I have not seen my feral calico kitty – Angelina for 4 nights – I 
talked to my AC—and she is either suffering something very acute or may not 
with us anymore – I knew she was not ill – I mentioned to her about my 
neighbour poisoning cats and she thought, she may be one of the victims – I 
can’t tell you how angry and devasting I am – she is a such a beautiful kitty, 
and was getting so used to me and meoed so loud and happy to see me – I have so 
much sadness, despair and angers these days. I am having a hard time to believe 
in faith.. may all my babies rest in peace.. and come back and have a joyful, 
happy and healthy life….

Hey Kelley,

My husband and I tiled our house ourselves this past
spring and summer.  We did almost the whole house,
except for the master bedroom, master closet-pretty
small, and one of the other bedrooms.  Our whole house
is a little over 1500 square feet, so it was quite a
job, but we did it, and it looks great.  I would say
it cost under $4000, but we picked out porcelain tile
and what we liked.  It could have been done for about
$2000-$3000 had we gone cheaper on the tile.  Also, I
went to a friend's house last month that had the
stained concrete like Phaewryn was talking about, and
it looked absolutely fantastic.  They stained it a
brownish color, and the concrete had been etched
(scored) to look like large tiles, 2x2 or bigger, and
then covered with a really shiny shellac.  It looked
GREAT, and I bet it was not expensive.  The only thing
about concrete is that it's porous, so the shellac had
to also needs to be a sealer.

Re: Sick cat, ideas?

[Jennifer Phaewryn O'Gwynn]

I'd HIGHLY suspect herpes-virus. Herpes can cause all of the same symptoms
as an URI can, plus it's MORE apt to cause eyes to seal shut and to cause
cornea damage. It IS treatable though, I have a regimen suggested a year or
so ago from this list:
One treatment for Feline Herpes recommended to me via email:
One treatment is Interferon and L-Lysine(which is an immune system booster
to help his own body fight it off). Interferon is available from a vet, but
L-Lysine is over the counter (you can find it at a health food store). A
treatment for the active infection would be Acyclovir (Zovirax) which is an
oral anti-viral and an antibiotic (either Doxycycline, Azithromycin or
Rifampin). Those used in conjunction with Vit A supplementation and Viroptic
eye drops (or Idoxuride/Betadine eye drops or Chloramphenical eye drops
since Viroptic is expensive) really work great to clear up the active
infection. Once cleared, the patient should remain on the Vit A, Interferon
and L-Lysine to prevent future recurrences. They should also be kept
stress-free. Of course, you should always get the permission form the vet
before doing any of this. Similar diseases (that cause similar symptoms) are
Bartonella, Chlamydia, and Mycoplasma (all of which can occur along with
Herpes).
L-Lysine 500mg twice a day
Interferon 10 units orally once a day for 7 days, stop for 7 days, then give
10 units orally once daily for 7 days (and so one)
Doxycycline 5 mg per pound twice daily for 6 weeks
Azithromycin 5 mg per pound once daily for 21 days
Rifampin 5 mg per pound once a day for 21 days
For Vit A supplement you can use Felivite 2 with Taurine (it contains Vit A
as well as a few others to help with immune boosting)
Eye Drops are usually dosed three times a day (use caution to use NOTHING
containing a steroid as steroids will actually aggravate the eye and make it
worse)
All of these dosages came from The Journal of the American Animal Hospital
Association Jan/Feb 2004, pg 6-12

This treatment has proven VERY successful at treating my Greek sponsor cat,
he's vastly improved now!
Here are a few other links to possible viruses that could be at the root of
your cats' illnesses:

As for the intestinal problems, well, IBD is only one of many conditions
that can lead to poopie-butt. Has your vet tested for tritrichomonsis? it's
becoming more and more common in cats lately...

Re: Can FelV Positive Cats Affect health of Transplant Patient?

[Jennifer Phaewryn O'Gwynn]

That applies to ALL cats, not just FELV+ ones. CATS in general (and dogs
too, for that matter), can carry things immuno-compromised humans may be
more apt to catch, like worms, protozoan infections, toxoplasmosis, and just
germs in general. The FELV has no effect on that matter. Yes, cornell has
some very outdated and useless info. The lady seems set on dumping her
cats... maybe they are better off without her if she's so closed-minded
about it.

Hi all,

I have a foster cat named Ciara.

I pulled her from the local shelter in late March of this year with 
her 5 kittens.


One kitten died, apparently of URI.  Several kittens had severe eye 
infections to the point their eyes were sealed shut.  They were 
cleaned twice a day with saline and treated with terramycin 
ointment.  One kitten has a scarred cornea.  The surviving kittens 
were all undersized and underweight.  One became very ill with 
diarrhea.  She was taken to the vet and a fecal was run on her, 
negative for both parasites and bacteria, and put on Albon, but was 
dead within hours.   The now 3 surviving kittens are about half the 
size of normal kittens, but have been spayed/neutered and after 
numerous vet trips have been proclaimed healthy.   They have had 
their distemper shots and one felv shot.


Mom has not been doing well and still is not.  She had stomatitis 
and had 8 teeth removed.  She was then diagnosed with IBD (not by my 
regular vet).  I was treating her with a month's course of 
Flagyl.  I had a kitten with watery diarrhea and took her in and she 
was diagnosed with giardia, so all cats are being treated for 
giardia.  She was also treated for giardia and the diarrhea seems 
somewhat better.  She has hair loss and her head is crusty (like 
ringworm) but her back and tail are missing big chunks of hair like 
mange.  The vet did a skin scraping and says it is neither ringworm 
nor mange.  Since the diarrhea has improved the hair on her back is 
growing back in but it is in very poor shape.  (All my other cats 
have beautiful fur - they are all on Felidae).  She had cysts on 
both ovaries when she was spayed.   Now she has contracted URI, 
apparently out of thin air.


I talked to my vet about this and asked if she should be retested 
for FELV/FIV.  He said yes, so we are going to retest her, but that 
there are other virii that have the same effects that can't be 
tested for?  Does anyone know anything about this?  She's been 
mixing with my other foster cats for months.  I've been slowly 
vaccinating them (the rescue I am fostering them for does nto 
require FELV vaccine, but I do) but have one with a heart condition 
that can't be vaccinated.


Money is getting to be an issue here, as I am just running out.  I 
can't get the rescue to reimburse me for medical.  I don't know what 
to do.  Does anyone have any ideas about any of this..stuff to try, 
etc. She's a sweet cat, but I am sure she doesn't liek being constantly ill.

RE: Testing for the cause of anemia

PCV (packed cell volume). I think a normal is about 35%. Some of mine were down 
to around 7% when they died. I'm taking my stamp in Friday for one. IT's about 
$25

Can people become infected with FeLV? 
Epidemiological and laboratory studies have failed to provide evidence
that FeLV can be transmitted from infected cats to humans. Regardless,
FeLV-infected cats may carry other diseases. At greatest risk of
infection are elderly or immunosuppressed people (e.g., those with AIDS,
or receiving immunosuppressive medications such as chemotherapy),
infants, and unborn children. It is recommended that pregnant women,
people with suppressed immune systems, the very young, and the very old
avoid contact with FeLV-infected cats.

Felv is not transferrable to humans so there is no need to be concerned.
In fact, on an email list I belong to -- there are a couple of people
who were transplant patients with Felv positive kitties and had no

Re: Can FelV Positive Cats Affect health of Transplant Patient?

  Susan,
 What your saying is reasonable, this scare tactic is not, anyone  
immuno-compromised should take precautions, but to say they shouldn't 
even consider it is ridiculous:


It is recommended that pregnant women, people with suppressed immune 
systems, the very young, and the very old avoid contact with 
FeLV-infected cats.

I am so sorry.  You are going through such hell right now.  If this is
FIP then  know you are living with despair and waiting for the next
disaster.

 

I hope the New Mexico rescue's vet is working with UC Davis or Dr.
Addie.  If this is some new strain of corona then we really need
research.  Typically older cats are pretty safe from FIP.

Re: Can FelV Positive Cats Affect health of Transplant Patient?

[Susan Hoffman]

Having adopted a kitten to a man who was HIV+  I know there are additional 
considerations here.  We had to have the kitten tested for toxoplasmosis and a 
few other things that are not normally of concern.  (The adopter paid for the 
additional testing and the kitten was negative on all counts.)  This was a 
committed adopter.  Had the kitten tested positive for anything of concern, the 
kitten would have stayed with me for treatment and then been retested.

infection are elderly or immunosuppressed people (e.g., those with AIDS,
or receiving immunosuppressive medications such as chemotherapy),
infants, and unborn children. It is recommended that pregnant women,
people with suppressed immune systems, the very young, and the very old
avoid contact with FeLV-infected cats.

Felv is not transferrable to humans so there is no need to be concerned.
In fact, on an email list I belong to -- there are a couple of people
who were transplant patients with Felv positive kitties and had no
problems.
 
I would suggest visiting www.felineleukemia.org so you (and your friend)
can educate yourselves on this virus. There is an email discussion group
on that website as well, which you can sign up for and ask questions.

RE: my 5th loss (to FIP?) - Rikki is at peace now

[Rosenfeldt, Diane]

Hideyo, I am so sorry about Rikki.  Gentle Bridge vibes to him, and I
know he knows how much he was loved.  I hope that Jojo's problems are
treatable, and that Angelina turns up alive and well.  If she was a
victim of this sick poisoner, may she rest in peace and may he rot in
Hell.
 
Rest up, and stay strong for your other kitties.  
 
Diane R.

Subject: my 5th loss (to FIP?) - Rikki is at peace now



Hi, I just wanted to ask you to take a moment to send a prayer for my
most gentle kitty, Rikki who crossed the bridge to heaven tonight - he
had the most peaceful crossing -though I was in the same are as he was
resting (on the couch), I regret that I was not right besides him and
was not holding him as I ma sure he would have liked -  I was so
exhausted and laying on the floor and felt sleep and woke up and he had
passed already - I feel badly that I was not holding him.. Though he was
so weak towards the end, every time, I could go and call his name, he
would meow for me like he has done for the past several years I have had
- I couldn't wish for a much more perfect than rikki - 

 

I don't know for sure if he had FIP for sure,, as it impacted a
different part of the organ in his case (kidney) - though I know it was
not CRF, as his kidneys were just fine two weeks ago.  I was talking to
someone today in rescue business - and there seems to be more FIP cases
in our area for some reason - so Susan, in a sense you were right, there
is something going on that no one knows about - there is more incidents
for FIP in the area at least than every in the past.. and don't know
why..Right now I am in despair and tired..

 

I have 4 other kitties who are showing a partial of symptoms in other
kitties who have passed away, and very paranoid. and I put all of them
on FOI interferon hoping that I am catching everyone early enough that
can reverse anything going one.. I am praying that I have seen the last
of FIP tragedy at my household..

 

I also found out that one of my dogs JoJo who is 8 years old mix of chow
and shepherd may or may not have cancer - his one of eyes is bleeding a
bit and has a big tumor in his gum.. and has blood in his urine. The vet
was not crazy how his eye and tumor looked.. we did an impression on him
and see if we can find more - please send a prayer to JoJo and send a
healing energy that he is going to get better -

 

Also, I have not seen my feral calico kitty - Angelina for 4 nights - I
talked to my AC-and she is either suffering something very acute or may
not with us anymore - I knew she was not ill - I mentioned to her about
my neighbour poisoning cats and she thought, she may be one of the
victims - I can't tell you how angry and devasting I am - she is a such
a beautiful kitty, and was getting so used to me and meoed so loud and
happy to see me - I have so much sadness, despair and angers these days.
I am having a hard time to believe in faith.. may all my babies rest in
peace.. and come back and have a joyful, happy and healthy life

Re: my 5th loss (to FIP?) - Rikki is at peace now

[Gussies mom]

So sorry about your baby. It sounds like you have had a very difficult time 
lately. I had a bout with FIP a few years ago with cats pulled from animal 
control. I had to put my favorite kitten to sleep on my 39th birthday. That's a 
birthday I won't forget. 
  At least your baby had someone as loving as you to take care of him and has 
someone to wait for over the bridge.

[cindy reasoner]

Hideyo,

I am so sorry to hear about Rikki.  It sounds like you
try to do so much to help all the kitties you find.  I
wish you didn't have to go through so much sorrow.  I
know you must feel like giving up but even with the
babies you have lost you gave them all of your love
and caring.  If it hadn't been for you they might not
of ever known that feeling.  I know you are
heartbroken after losing so many.  You are a wonderful
person that tries to help all these precious babies
you find.  I will be praying for you and your other
kitties.  Also, I will pray that you get some good
news on JoJo that he doesn't have cancer.  You are in
my thoughts and again I am so so sorry.

Re: my 5th loss (to FIP?) - Rikki is at peace now

[Marylyn]

I am so sorry.  Please consider that you were close to him and he may have 
waited to leave until you fell asleep.  Maybe leaving that way was easier for 
him or he thought it would be easier for you.

May the angels give you and all your little ones peace.

We also have gotten into this new habit of when Tigger jumps up on the table, 
with his tail in the air, we use it like an old style hand water pump, and make 
noises "wreeech, wreeech, wreeech, wreeech!", like it's all rusty, LOL!
