[Felvtalk] Virbagen interferon low doses - Need advise
Xana, my baby is now 2,5 yo. I suspect she developped leukemia, although the vet is not 100% sure. She is now with antibiotics. She had fever, convulsions, ataxia...

[Felvtalk] Update on Sabrina/Eleanor
Resending. *** We picked her up on Sunday at the sanctuary she is now in her new home! Meanwhile this past week, the results of the IFA test came back - NEGATIVE! YAY! Her Elisa snap test about a bit ago was positive. As I understand it, the next test in about 30-60 days should be an Elisa lab test then another IFA. Is this correct? While we were at the sanctuary, the family also fell in love with another Siamese, Coco, in the FeLeuk room. That kitty has tested positive on the snap test but has never had an IFA. The sanctuary owner wanted them to have her too but I said NO. We don't know her status well enough. Sending her home with Eleanor would be entirely too risky for Eleanor at this point. I told her to get Coco IFA tested at least. So I have two questions: 1. At this point Eleanor has tested positive on the Elisa snap test negative shortly thereafter on the IFA test. Just what does this mean for her what should be next? 2. Am I right in refusing to let Coco come with Eleanor? Is there any possibility that she could at some point, IF she tested negative on the IFA? Please do tell me what to do at this point. My first concern is for Eleanor. Incidentally Coco has NOT been in the FeLeuk room up there very much since the other cats don't like her, so she has been pretty much isolated from them Pam ___ Felvtalk mailing list ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Thank you for your answer. Indeed, FIP is always a posibility, but in this case, is not clear and the antibiotic good response seems to confirm it. I had dealed with PIF 4 times and know well it. The wet is not worried about it. But, in any case, I am not sure about toxoplasma. Protein is altered, high gamma but normal albumina in blood work . A/G ratio is 0,4. The anemia is caused because the Fel viruses is in the bone marrow. The vet suggest low dose omega interferon orally, at long term... Xana also has chronic flu, i mean feline herpesvirus.

Blood work shows anaemia, hematocrit 25%. white cells were highly increased. Toxoplasma vas positive to igg( 1/10), (igm negative, 1/10).

[Felvtalk] IFA test
Remember I wrote the other day about our two FeLV+ boy cats that I had retested by IFA method last week, and were both negative? I just found out that Mr. Tux, whom I got from a rescuer in NJ, had the ELISA 2 yrs ago and IFA 2 months later by another rescuer - BOTH were positive! My Eliot Spitty had only the ELISA 3 1/2 yrs ago, it was positive. How lucky that both were negative now. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Pam Norman Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 9:51 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Update on Sabrina/Eleanor Resending. *** We picked her up on Sunday at the sanctuary she is now in her new home! Meanwhile this past week, the results of the IFA test came back - NEGATIVE! YAY! Her Elisa snap test about a bit ago was positive. As I understand it, the next test in about 30-60 days should be an Elisa lab test then another IFA. Is this correct? While we were at the sanctuary, the family also fell in love with another Siamese, Coco, in the FeLeuk room. That kitty has tested positive on the snap test but has never had an IFA. The sanctuary owner wanted them to have her too but I said NO. We don't know her status well enough. Sending her home with Eleanor would be entirely too risky for Eleanor at this point. I told her to get Coco IFA tested at least. So I have two questions: 1. At this point Eleanor has tested positive on the Elisa snap test negative shortly thereafter on the IFA test. Just what does this mean for her what should be next? 2. Am I right in refusing to let Coco come with Eleanor? Is there any possibility that she could at some point, IF she tested negative on the IFA? Please do tell me what to do at this point. My first concern is for Eleanor. Incidentally Coco has NOT been in the FeLeuk room up there very much since the other cats don't like her, so she has been pretty much isolated from them Pam ___ Felvtalk mailing list ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
