I have the higher calorie wet food from the vet and he really likes it. We are taking it a day at a time, but he is perking up-he still sleeps alot-but in his usual spots near the desk and he is wanting to stay near us. He isn't up to leaping for the top of the bookcase yet.

I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but today is a good day. He is to stay on the Procrit 3x a week, doxy 2x a day, interferon 2x a day, LTCI once a week, and iron capsules once a day.

[Felvtalk] Please add Rocket to the CLS 6/06 - 8/10
Rocket had a bad week. She had gotten another Immunoreglin shot last Monday. It didn't seem to help her at all. She just wasn't interested in eating except for a little kibble. I tried several times to syringe feed her but she got so upset. She would start panting like she couldn't catch her breath. We were to go back to the vet today. This morning she wasn't able to walk very well and was having problems breathing. So we made that final trip to the vet. Thankfully my dear neighbor drove us. Rocket normally starts with heavy breathing when we go to the vet. This morning was worse than normal. She had a small seizure as we were entering the vet's office and died there in my arms. Her little heart just gave up. I'm sure she had some type of tumor. Wasn't anemia like Sissy. She was such a good girl. Never a big love bug but enjoyed playing with the feather toy and loved her treats. Even this last week she was rubbing my leg as I was preparing the food plates. Another reason it was so heartbreaking when she wouldn't eat. Rocket is my last FeLV baby. I do feel fortunate to have had her for almost 4 yrs. I 1st met her at the dumpsters July '06. She was one of 5 kittens that would come running when I showed up with food. Spooky vanished but over time I was able to trap Rocket, Sissy, Daisy and Mae. Rocket and Sissy became house kitties. Daisy and Mae were much older when I trapped them and became garage kitties. Now Daisy's babies and these four are gone. Leaves a big hole in my heart. At least she had a good life and wasn't sick until these last few weeks. By sharing her story I am trying to celebrate her life and encourage others to love their companions each and every day.

Never a big love bug but enjoyed playing with the feather toy and loved her treats. Even this last week she was rubbing my leg as I was preparing the food plates. Another reason it was so heartbreaking when she wouldn't eat. Rocket is my last FeLV baby. I do feel fortunate to have had her for almost 4 yrs. I 1st met her at the dumpsters July '06. She was one of 5 kittens that would come running when I showed up with food. Spooky vanished but over time I was able to trap Rocket, Sissy, Daisy and Mae. Rocket and Sissy became house kitties. Daisy and Mae were much older when I trapped them and became garage kitties. Now Daisy's babies and these four are gone. Leaves a big hole in my heart. At least she had a good life and wasn't sick until these last few weeks. By sharing her story I am trying to celebrate her life and encourage others to love their companions each and every day.

GLOW to guide her safely across the bridge, and to help heal the hearts of everyone who loved her. you gave her so much in her time with you; at some point, i hope you're able to understand that, and know that she carries those memories of your shared love with her just as you carry her in your heart forever.

[Felvtalk] FeLV Re-testing for kittens
Hi all, I volunteer at a kitten rescue organization, and talking about all the loving, caring people on this listserv the people at the organization were wondering for those who have kittens that were tested positive, how often and how many (average if you've rescued many) turn out to be negative when/if re-tested later on? It would be especially good to know in case we rescue kittens that test positive. Knowing of actual cases and occasions of kittens that turned out to be negative when tested later on would help a lot in dealing with possible cases, and trying to get them adopted. thank you so much in advance, and I hope this gets through, several of my posts/replies to posts haven't been showing up (on my end anyway) Best Paola ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
