Re: [Felvtalk] request for counsel on BreAnne

Has your vet done a complete blood panel on her?  You might be able to find a 
clue to her problem.  Also complete urine test would help.  These will help 
identify a problem.  Since cats are so good at hiding illness, we sometimes 
need to go to extemes.  It costs, but may be less in the long runsince you find 
out fast what is wrong and needs to be done.   
As to food, I have found that Gerber's baby food (check first to be sure there 
is on onion or garlic in it) is easier to feed and my girls have responded to 
that. Also, add hot water to canned food.  My girls and boy seem to prefer the 
liquid to eating the meat.  At least they get some nutrition. Also, has your 
vet said anything about doing sub q fluids?  I had to do that with Lil Bit 
after I first got her.  Se was stressed out, had a ragged coat, no luster and 
had lost weight.  After a little over 1 - 1/2 weeks, she responded and has been 
fine since.  Giving her fluids wasn't very hard.  The vet gave me a bag of 
fluids and needles and told me how to do it.  The heardest part was sticking 
her with the needle but I remimded myself I was doing it for her benefit. 
If she is stressed out, maybe keep her seperate from the others for a while and 
give her lots of extra attention and loving to reassure her that she is loved.  
Then reintroduce her to the others and see how it goes then.  These ae all 
tihngs I have done with my pride.  Good luck!

 antibiotic.  We started everyone on Petzlife oral gel (thank you Natalie) a

 weight, not eating well.  I follow her around with the food and draw her

 use. I have been hydrating some orally and giving some NutriCal.  She has

 Easter Sunday I was able to be home all day and let Scrumptious out (since 
 she is negative). 
  
 I guess writing this is about getting ready maybe to let her go.  The cat she

 Her Grieving the loss of Isaac?  She was really, really thin about 9 months

I agree, lots of love , good food and as stress free a life as you can give 
them.  So far, Annie is going on 8 years, the last 4 with me and she is healthy 
as can be.  Nitnoy is on her 2nd year with me.  She was feral and had her tale 
bitten off by a raccoon a few days before I actually found her.  Now she is 
healthy, well fed and happy and learning how to trust and be loved.

   I have heard of all kinds of things that are supposed to give great

 results.  After 8 years of specializing in nothing but Fe-Luk cats i have 
 found that, love, attention, basic supplements ( iron,L-lysine, and the like) 
 are the best treatments for them.
 Adding things like high O2 water helps as well.( moving water not in a bowl).
 I know that many are going to say things like interferon, transfusions and 
 like are good for them but they only prolong the inevitable.  This virus will 
 at some point in the cats life cause issues that will have grave 
 consequences.

  I was wondering if anyone has heard of this, a woman on FB is claiming 
  that
  coconut oil given for approximately 4 weeks will cure a cat with FeLV. I
  wrote to her and told her that there was in fact no cure and she told me 
  to
  talk to a man named Mark McCandlish, though there are several so I was not
  able to look him up.
 
  I am a licensed vet tech and am constantly researching FeLV and have not
  seen anything of the sort out there. One would think if a cure would have
  popped up that it would be talked about everywhere especially by the FeLV
  cat parents crowd.
 
  I find it frustrating when people post information on FB under cats that 
  are
  in need of homes and do not have their facts straight. They are either
  sharing that FeLV is this freakishly contagious disease and that all FeLV
  cats must be kept separate or euthanized or they are spouting about 
  cures.
  Those of us who have FeLV babies and are praying for that cure to save 
  them
  don't want that fake carrot dangled in front of our faces.
 
  Anyway sorry for the rant, I just wanted to be sure I am not out of the 
  loop
  before I keep arguing with her about it.
 
  Also there are 2 beautiful, sweet cats in Austin TX who are felv + and in
  need of a home asap. If anyone may be interested please let me know and I
  will forward the link with the info and pics. They are incredibly sweet

FYI:  hydrogen peroxide should only be ingested as food grade, not the stuff
you buy at the drug store or supermarket.  I kept reading about the wonders
of hp, and I use it to clean everything --it's great. But in all the
articles I read extolling it's wonders, none of them mentioned that you need
to use food grade if you plan to put it INTO your body. I'm assuming the doc
is injecting her with the good stuff.

 I live in Arkansas.  I know there are some quacks out there, but I 
 always appreciate the folks who study and offer alternative 
 treatments, as our environment in the USA isn't very supportive of 
 that.  Wish there was more research into this area.  I've used a 
 number of alternative treatments, and have witnessed folks I know 
 who've gotten cancer, looking at something to help.  I sure hope your 
 friend finds a way.  It's been a long time since I've looked into 
 this, but ozone is also used for similar purposes as H2O2.
