[Felvtalk] News about Ginger
My vet ordered Interferon and Cyproheptadine. The vet suspects leukemia is already in kitty's bone marrow. Ginger kitty refuses to eat his food but tried to eat his cat litter last night.

Re: [Felvtalk] News about Ginger
First -- I'm sorry you had to find us, but I'm glad you're here. Please try to remain as calm as possible and don't panic. Ginger will pick up on that -- he might get stressed out if you're freaking out and that won't help him. (hugs) Only you can decide if it's time to let him go. No one can make that decision for you -- you and Ginger kitty have to decide that. If he's ready to go, you will know. Try something smelly -- anchovy paste maybe.the juice from a can of tuna..see if he will take that. If he continues to refuse food, he could get worse. More than 72 hours without food and the damage could be irreversible. My very first experience with FeLV: my cat was diagnosed on 10/25/1999 and I had to put her to sleep the very next day. That's how I came to find this list. She was so sick with the anemia that to keep her alive would have been cruel. But some cats pull out of it -- some don't. Depends on the cat. My one FeLV+ cat lived to be 9-1/2 years old. So some of them have a good life. I don't give up on them until the kitty tells me that they are tired and are ready to go. If you think Ginger wants to fight, then give him the chance. We have ALL been where you are. This is an ugly disease.

[Felvtalk] Feeding with syringe!
I'm sorry if I missed any latest info, but has the vet seen Ginger kitty yet? Has he given any supportive treatment like at least some sub-q fluids? If you haven't fed a cat with a syringe, technique is important. I always gave the cat sitting on my lap or to my side, holding the head from under the chin, slightly up (cat can be wrapped in a towel if difficult to hold), inserting the syringe from the SIDE of the mouth (NOT front), squeezing in a small amount and allowing the cat to swallow, and continue with tiny amounts. No sense squeezing in a lot if food only to have the cat spit it out. The food has to be mushy enough to easily get through the tip of syringe. Here, we have Hill's Science Diet A=D, which is high caloric for sick and recuperating cats. Here's some info on syringe feeding: http://www.goodsearch.com/search.aspx?keywords=How+to+feed+cat+with+syringe Videos on syringe feeding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9ygsA93vQc , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6o17wH6ujk Eating litter can mean many things, usually because something is missing in their diet, some kind of nutritional imbalance, which would be quite understandable in a sick cat. http://www.goodsearch.com/search.aspx?keywords=Cats+eating+litter+litter Natalie -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of botha.marin...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2012 6:39 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] News about Ginger My vet ordered Interferon and Cyproheptadine.

Re: [Felvtalk] News about Ginger
Amen, Terri! That's the best advice to give. And yes, we have all experienced this horrible disease. Same happened to my kitten I adopted through my local humane society. He never showed signs of being sick (except for some very loose stools sometimes) and tested negative (but I think they tested him too early). Anyway, one day he was fine, and the second day I was putting him to rest. He was in very bad shape and I could see it in his eyes. He was only 9 mos old. Next month will be a year since he was laid to rest. He was an orange flame kitten, long - haired and beautiful!!! Again, only you can decide if it's Ginger's time, but please do not let him suffer. My heart aches for both of you!

Re: [Felvtalk] News about Ginger
I know this sounds completely off subject, but there is a ton of information on Tanya's CRF website about what to do for cats that aren't eating. This info, although is provided for cats with CRF, can be used for any cat that isn't eating. I would also recommend a b complex supplement. It will stimulate appetite, and cats lose b vitamins during times of stress. What did your vet say concerning euthanasia? Some won't say anymore. I will be thinking of you and Ginger.

Re: [Felvtalk] News about Ginger
Eating litter is a classic sign of severe anemia. Most of my FeLV's died from anemia. At this point it's probably too late for interferon. That is a good preventative to boost the immune system, but it takes a while to start working. I euthanized all mine at the point they started eating litter, but that is a choice that only you can make. My thought are with you your baby. I know how hard it is to see them suffer.

Re: [Felvtalk] ELISA IFA Tests:
Hi, I am new to all of this. My cat Oliver had the PCR after testing positive with the ELISA. Sadly, he tested positive after getting the PCR test. He is a 6 year old Siamese. My vet had a chat with some hoity toity vet either at Davis or Cornell who said that it was more accurate. Everyone else in the house tested negative and just had their booster shots. Follow up blood work for all is in Mid March. Thanks for all of the info here!

Re: [Felvtalk] News about Ginger
Hi I just have to be totally honest here so that you and Ginger don't go through what my little Fletch went through. I didn't make it to the vet on time. Fletch died in his crate while I was racing to get him there to stop his suffering. He died a horrible death, and I will never ever forget it. Now, none of us can see your kitty, or what kind of shape it is in, but please, don't wait to long. It's a hard decision because there IS hope for Felv cats. It's a fine line to walk. And I think it's very hard, anymore, to find a vet who will actually tell you to euthanize. My thoughts are with you. I'm so sorry you and Ginger have to go through this.

Re: [Felvtalk] News about Ginger
I have just signed up for felv talk and truly appreciate finding this group! After fostering three kittens, our family decided to adopt them when we received the results that all three were positive for feline leukemia. We kept all three and have one cat still with us who will turn five years old in May. I tell you this to let you know that I have been where you are with Ginger twice...in both situations, our kitties had severe anemia. The first time, I know that I let our little one suffer too long due to my difficulty letting her go. The second time, I knew when it was time to euthanize and was able to say a peaceful and gentle goodbye. I listened closely when our vet presented the options. As Marcia said, it's a fine line to walk because you want to do all that you can do for your baby but you do not want to see him suffer. I will keep you and Ginger in my good thoughts and am so sorry about the situation.

We kept all three and have one cat still with us who will turn five years old in May. I tell you this to let you know that I have been where you are with Ginger twice...in both situations, our kitties had severe anemia. The first time, I know that I let our little one suffer too long due to my difficulty letting her go. The second time, I knew when it was time to euthanize and was able to say a peaceful and gentle goodbye. I listened closely when our vet presented the options.

[Felvtalk] Ginger; virus in bone marrow
.. I want to tell you what hapenned to us with our FeLV+ Jourdan. On Thurs vet though virus was in the bone marrow. Sat she was very poor but she was holding her own. By Mon one of her eyes looked very strange so I went to get things ready to get her to vet, drove her there, less than 10 mts. We got her out of carrier, set on table, when vet came in she reared her head up and stared at them. Both her eyes were completly white, looked like something out of a horror movie. Vet said the virus would have gotten in her brain and made her blind, she was in lots of pain so we helped her along. But did I wish I had done it before.. I'm not saying same will happen to Ginger but we don't know. If virus is in the bone marrow it is very bad and she's really suffering.

The other day I felt a very large knot on his left front leg. I took him to the vet to get it checked out. He thought it was probably cancer. He removed it today but he couldn't get all of it. He described it as having tenticles going in all different directions. He is sending it off to be sure it is cancer and what type.

Re: [Felvtalk] Smokey
Depending on how far it has spread and whether it has metatisized, amputating the leg might be an option. Cats and dogs do great on three legs. We had a cat in our rescue recently who had to have her leg removed all the way up like to the hip. They didn't leave a nub or anything. Looked like she had never bee born with a leg. Kind of weird looking but you couldn't tell the difference at all in how she acted and played. Actually she had had some pain in her leg before they removed it so once it was gone then she felt even better and became more playful. Like I said, it may not be possible for various reasons but if the vet says it would work and it's the only thing that would get rid of the cancer then I would go for it. “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 13:50:02 -0800 From: create_me_...@yahoo.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Smokey Cindy - So sorry to hear about Smokey.

Re: [Felvtalk] Ginger; virus in bone marrow
I'm a little confused. I thought the FeLV virus gets into the bone marrow of every cat that is not able to extinguish the virus. The virus gets into the blood stream then progresses to the bone marrow. From there the virus will replicate in the white blood cells and the cat will stay persistantly viremic or it will become dormant in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is where the virus resides in every positive cat isn't it? “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 12:06:02 -0800 From: marta.gas...@yahoo.com To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Ginger; virus in bone marrow ..

I first found this site when my Smokey tested positive for feline leukemia. He had a hard time at the beginning with fevers but we finally got that under control. He has gone over 6 years with no problems or sickness. The other day I felt a very large knot on his left front leg. I took him to the vet to get it checked out. He thought it was probably cancer. He removed it today but he couldn't get all of it. He described it as having tenticles going in all different directions. He is sending it off to be sure it is cancer and what type. I have never dealt with this before and Smokey's outlook seems pretty grave. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Felvtalk] Tanya's CRF Site
One of my vets tells of cats who drink local city water who develop this problem. My guys all drink bottled spring or distilled water because we travel and it is easier to do the bottles than to change from one city water to another (yes, there is a difference...big time).

I had 1 water fountain in the kitchen and got another for my bath since everyone comes into my bedroom at night. We like my memory foam mattress and the electric blanket. I have noticed that everyone drinks more water since the fountains. They are attracted by the sound and everyone has adifferent part of the water slide to drink from. I also added a bit of organic (cloudy) cidar vinegar. Someone in the group recommended it for the crystals. I also started Homey on cranberry paste.

Re: [Felvtalk] Ginger; virus in bone marrow
I believe that when the IFA test becomes positive, the virus has gotten into the bone marrow.

I thought the FeLV virus gets into the bone marrow of every cat that is not able to extinguish the virus. The virus gets into the blood stream then progresses to the bone marrow. From there the virus will replicate in the white blood cells and the cat will stay persistantly viremic or it will become dormant in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is where the virus resides in every positive cat isn't it? I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't..the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further. - Mark Twain _ Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 12:06:02 -0800 From: marta.gas...@yahoo.com To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Ginger; virus in bone marrow ..

We got her out of carrier, set on table, when vet came in she reared her head up and stared at them. Both her eyes were completly white, looked like something out of a horror movie. Vet said the virus would have gotten in her brain and made her blind, she was in lots of pain so we helped her along. But did I wish I had done it before..
