Re: [Felvtalk] scratchy meow
Tracy, there is always a risk with any surgery for any cat. Not a big one but it is there. It is safer to have Bacca spayed after she is out of heat. I have had 8 FeLV+ girls spayed with no issues. None were in heat. All were in good health when they had the surgery. They went to a low cost spay clinic for their surgery. The biggest issue was keeping them crated for a couple of days after the surgery. They really didn't like that. All were rescued ferals and I knew I wouldn't be able to keep them quiet unless they were in a crate.

I had an appt for her friday to be seen but i am going to wait til she is out of heat and get her spayed. She is playing and just ate an entire container of wet food. I am scared of getting her spayed because the last vet made such a big deal out of the eye surgery and how the anesthesia could kill her. I am going to go in and talk to the vet as well. I did get a new one. They seem more reasonable as I have taken several other animals of ours there and things have gone well(crossing my fingers that it will continue).

Re: [Felvtalk] WBC/RBC/platelet count decreasing
I am not a vet, but I would be surprised if either Liquid DMG or Transfer Factor would be a problem when giving prednisone or another steroid. They are both supplements and not really in the same category as interferon, LTCI or something like that. Best wishes for you and Wolfie.

I definitely plan to ask the internal med at Cornell to look into these. We are definitely considering LTCI but the pred is the sticky part. Neither one of us want to take him off of the pred for something that has no research backing up that it works. She read all the research and had several others review it. They all agreed the science sounds reasonable but there are just so many problems with the paper. I have yet to read it myself but plan to. That is probably the one option I'm leaning towards.

I don't have most of my email handy, so I can't look back at what you've written. Have you tried Transfer Factor? What about Liquid DMG? These are affordable supplements, and they *seem* to have helped in the case of my FeLV+ girl, Ember. DMG especially *seems* to have little possibility of any negative consequences. When I've seen wbc issues in Ember, I've *seemingly* reversed some losses with these supplements. Please note how I use the word *seem*. Neupogen might be an option. It's something I'm keeping in mind, but I don't know much about it, other than it helps with wbc generation. I believe some folks have used ImmunoRegulin in similar situations to yours and had good results. Maybe the archives will shed some light on that. And I could be wrong, but I seem to remember Epogen helping in non-regen anemia, though that makes absolutely no sense. Again, the archives will hopefully help. LTCI might help with wbc generation. I'm seeing lots of mention of it on the list, but I'm very leery of it. We FeLV+ caregivers are so eager for anything that might help, but the marketing Immulan has engaged in has been questionable. Of course, that doesn't mean that it doesn't help, but the company haven't done enough proper tests to provide real reassurance that their product works. It's good that we're getting anecdotal evidence on the list, but that only goes so far. Finally, I wonder if Pet Tinic might not help the rbc that Wolfie is able to produce. It's really just nutrients and nothing terribly unusual... mainly iron, I think. Obviously, when it comes to any of these options, please consult your vet. My hopes and prayers for Wolfie's health, and for your ability to find something that might help his blood counts.

He's been stable for a few months but his WBC, RBC, and platelet counts are all gradually declining. I was expecting him to crash when I got the confirmation of non-regenerative anemia but he's holding his own.

Still working on the girl. She has circles on both sides and 2 stripes down her back. she is a tortoise calico.

Re: [Felvtalk] Nibbler Has Gone On - Please Add To CLS
Dorlis -- LOL, I feel your pain! The same thing happened to me, I took in a couple ferals that I had helped a friend catch in her back yard, COMPLETELY meant to give them to the Wisconsin Humane Society for adoption after they were socialized, but when push came to shove I worried too much that they would be separated because they are such buddies to each other, and I worried about the girl because she is pitch black, etc. So now we have 2 kittens in a household of 4 older cats. We named the kits Dumbledore and McGonagall (we might have named them differently if we'd meant to keep them! It's really hard to call them!). We are stunned at how easily they have integrated into the household -- while rambunctious, they are very polite and respectful to the others, and Dumbles clearly adores our elder, 17-year-old, Luc. Luc gets annoyed when the kits impede his progress but there's never anything more than a put-out mew! and a little slap. Even Tribble, our resident psychopath, is tolerant of stuff from them he would never put up with from the others, and in turn the kittens don't do the OMG, is THAT the time? kind of thing that the other cats do when Tribble approaches them. We have one cat who stays upstairs behind a screen door because he is so terrified of the downstairs cats, and we want to try him with the kittens. He's upstairs alone most of the day, and he likes having people around, so we're hoping the kits would be good company for him.

Re: [Felvtalk] Scratchy meow
Hi Tracy, My vocal 1 1/2 year old positive female, Sylvia, sometimes changes her voice when she's not feeling well. It drops into a lower register and gets scratchy, like she has laryngitis. She's spayed. Most of the time she's got a fairly melodic, medium-pitched meow-- that scratchy voice is what originally led me to take her to the vet, who tested her for FLV (her third time being tested)...and she came up positive. Since then, she's only had that voice change one time, and it was when she caught a cold from my other (so far negative) kitten, Beatrice. She recovered quickly and the meow went back to normal. Cats have a million different ways of communicating with us; this is just one way Sylvia tells me she's feeling unwell. She also follows me around more often, begging for attention, and gets irritable with Beatrice (hisses, etc). So pay attention to your girl-- if she's still scratchy as she comes out of heat, pay close attention to her and take her to the vet if something doesn't seem right. Follow your instincts and pay close attention to hers. You'll get wonderful advice on this forum. They're a wealth of information and have been incredibly helpful to me. All my best to you and your kittycat!

Her meow just suddenly changed and sounds raspy, almost like a parrot. This is my first experience with a FLV cat. She is not on any type of vitamins, she is just like all the other cats, until she started with this weird meow. When she went in originally for her eye enucleation, the vet just said she would be more susceptible to infections and that she would not live long. Can someone help me?

Crystal, I'm so sorry about Nibbler. I lost Duncan last summer, Charlotte in April and Chutney a few weeks ago. Chutney's passing was a shock because we didn't know he was positive. He had tested negative just 6 weeks before he died, but then his sister Bridget tested positive, so I know that's what killed Chutney.

Re: [Felvtalk] Reversal of FIP in my six-month-old kitten
I think you all have valid points. Here are my thoughts. 1. Overdiagnosis of FIP - this is way hard to estimate because the diagnosis is difficult to come by. In fact, the pathophysiology of the disease is poorly understood so it may actually represent a constellation of diseases. In the end, however, the question is treatment. I think it is foolish to give a diagnosis of FIP if you are simply going to give up and put the animal down. If, however, you have no other explanation and the clinical signs are highly suspicious then you have to look at the possibility that it is. That's what I see happened in this case. Given that, what are you going to do. You have no other explanation, so how do you treat, do you wait until they die and do an autopsy to prove it's FIP or do you try something. I would try something. 2. Skepticism - I understand skepticism because I have tried and failed on more than one occassion with difficult viral diseases in cats. I really get that. What I do not understand (and if someone can enlighten me, I would be open to it) is how someone can see an animal suspected to have FIP, treated successfully and then say it was not FIP. How does one know that, how does one know that they did not successfully treat the disease? If someone says the only way to truely diagnose is by autopsy and the cat survived, prove to me they did not have FIP. If someone is saying it's not FIP only on the basis that the cat survived, well that's a useless statement to me. The skepticism works both ways - you can be skeptical it wasn't or skeptical it was. But in the end the difference is the treatment. I know it's not perfect science but medicine never is. So if you have tested for a number of common diseases, and all but the coronavirus were negative; there was a familial association, recent history of stress (spay, neuter, vaccination) in a young cat, and clinical signs/symptoms of the disease - short of putting the animal down and doing an autopsy, you've got a good of a diagnosis as you can get. 3. Medicine in general - Medicine is truely an art. Every individual is different. Every individual responds differently to life, stress, disease and treatment. Simply because a treatment works on one animal and not another does not mean they carry a different diagnosis. Especially in an immune related disease. The spectrum of disease presentation can be broad and the spectrum of response to treatment can be equally as broad. Does that mean we don't try? I don't think so. We all fail, it's whether or not we get back up and try again that determines our character. High dose Vitamin C appears to work for some (and there is a good scientific basis for why if you look into close enough) maybe not for all, but at the very least, it is an option where there are so few. I respect all you for your dedication to understanding, treating and erradicating the diseases that plague these animals. I know we are all trying to do what's best for them. We each may have a different approach but I am glad to know there are people like all of you with such a desire and passion to help. I have learned from all of you. God bless.

This has been such a cause of panic even among vets who should know better and has resulted in so many needless deaths that I thought it bore repeating. What causes the coronavirus to mutate into FIP is a combination of heredity, circumstance, and possibly God having a sh-tty day and wanting to punish some innocents.
