Sounds good!  The web shows it's esterified fatty acids, but it's hard to find 
an understandable definition. How/where can one get it Michelle?

 Took Merls in today.  Could not afford it but I was really worried about his 
 mouth.  He has nasty lesions but is still eating.  He will be on the feline 
 immune booster as well as a holistic concoction for his mouth. Recheck in 3 
 weeks.

 it to each other when needed in an emergency. I have an FIV+ cat now who 
 appears to have non-effusive FIP (not definite but many signs pointing 
 there). The only hope of helping that is feline interferon omega given in 
 combination with steroids, and given quickly. I will not be able to get it 
 quickly. Does anyone have it who might be willing to sell me a few doses to 
 get him started while I try to get it? Or to do an exchange like we used to

 I have 2-3 methods I use
 1) I started out giving a depomedrol injection periodically (once every 4-6 
 weeks or as needed).  Seems like it's 1/2 cc depo.
 
 2) Then someone suggested oral dexamethasone - so I give about 1/2 cc Dex 
 orally, and it lasts a few days.  Sometimes though they're quite resistant 
 to having something squirted in the mouth. 
 
 3) the most recent option Ive tried is Zyrtec.  I buy Zyrtec at the grocery 
 store or pharmacy.  Also got a pill cutter and cut the Zyrtec in half.  I 
 put the half zyrtec in wet food once a day.  You may need to crush it at 
 first.
 
 I've started doing the last two together in some cases.  Have found the 
 Zyrtec very helpful for some runny noses too.
 
 But to start out, with a difficult cat, I do Depo for about a month and see 
 how that works and if I can switch to Dex.
 
 If you google these options you can find out more, of course.

 Off topic or a new one.
 My poor Bryyn is having an awful time. Does anyone have experience with 
 severe mouth pain? I've been told by vets that she's too young for 
 stomatitis, but she's having a horrific time. 
 
 My vet prescribed prednisone, but not only does it not seem to help, we're 
 leery of it for the long term and honestly can't afford it.
 
 It seemed to be mostly jaw/lymph related as she would freak when yawning, 
 but it's getting worse and I'm beside myself. She also has awful breath

 I think there can be a variety of causes.  Some of the ones of concern, I

 14 year old feral FIV+ kitty who had an eye issue like this and my vet felt 
 it was a tumor, we then found out she had CRF and toxoplasmosis (vet didn't

 sucessfully, for all until a urinary issue took her quality of life.  At 
 first I'd been so scared of an eye tumor, but the eye was never a problem

 Hi everyone,
 
 I just noticed my 10 year old FeLV cat, Krammer, has uneven pupils. He had 
 a winky/weepy eye a couple of weeks ago for a few days, where he had some 
 drainage and one eye was squinty with a smaller pupil. It cleared up on 
 it's own after a few days (I give him lysine). A day or two ago it came 
 back, this time the other eye (if I recall correctly). The affected eye is 
 squinty, third eyelid shows a little, and one pupil is small while the 
 other pupil looks normal.  I'm not sure if this is just a herpes flare up, 
 or something else. He first tested positive about 6 months ago. I found 
 the term anisocoria while searching this list archives. Gonna research a 
 little more. 
 
 Second question:
 One of my 8 month old FeLV kittens, Shmoo, began having what I would call 
 labored or heavy breathing 2 days ago. I can see his sides and nose moving 
 as he breathes. He is a little less active, and last night he 
 coughed/wheezed a little and his paw pads, usually pink (he's a white 
 cat), looked slightly purple, like he's not getting enough oxygen. He 
 looked pink again this morning. Gonna take him in, but wanted to mention 
 it here too in case anyone has input. 
 
 Thanks,

 results. They do not make it here in the US anymore, it comes from the UK,
 and I get it from amazon.  It is one of the least toxic flea treatments
 available, and that's why I use it.  It's a creamy substance that you mix
 in their food.  I have 6 cats, and they eat it willingly...no problems.
 I've heard they shut down the plant here in the US because of cleanliness.
 I would never put a topical on a felv+ cat.  Be sure to change bedding
 daily or at least every other day and vacuum like crazy.  You could also
 look into the food grade diatomaceous earth...it takes some time and effort
 to work though.  Good luck...Tracey

 I am having a crazy hard time keeping fleas off of my FeLV foster. I do
 flea comb at least once a day and keep everything very clean but they won't
 go away. I hate the thought of putting a topical on her because her nodes
 are huge and her immune sytem is already compromised but I know these fleas
 are no good either. I have no idea how they can still be on her because I
 have been so aggressive.
 
 Has anyone researched topicals for + cats? Like are there any that are
 'safer' than others? I was thinking of trying Revolution on herthat way
 it it will keep away fleas, ticks, earmites, etc. Thoughts? She is 7 months
 old and healthy considering.

Re: [Felvtalk] Need home for FELV cat in Ft. Worth

Thanks! Right, good point about the tests, I'll check again to make sure they 
did more than just the snap test. Her daughter is a rescuer but is more than 
overwhelmed with her cats and those of 2 sick friends. I'm trying to recover 
from cancer and get energy back so hesitate to take more. 

Will look into the Iowa folks again thanks. Used to be one or two in Missouri.

 CW only accepts cats from Shelters, not individuals,
 unless the owner of the cat dies. It’s a great place, though.
 I took a cat from our Shelter there last summer and got a
 tour. The ladies running the place are extremely dedicated.
 They have had FeLeuk cats there live a good life, to their
 teens.

 Gloria Lane and Lance,
 There are two shelters that I know of in Iowa that rescue Feline Leukemia cats
 Carmen Conklin at CW Shelter in Northeast Iowa cwshel...@wildblue.net;  and 
 Witty Kitty in Solon, Iowa Jennifer Doll jkd...@gmail.com.  Not sure how 
 they would get there but maybe they know of a transport if they have an 
 available spot.  There is a transport that helps with dogs called Heinz 57 
 Rescue and Transport in Desoto, Ia. --- maybe they would help with the cat.
  
 Also, this lady with the feline leukemia cat needs to know that one test does 
 not a diagnosis make depending upon the test used.  It could be a false 
 positive, if the cat is young, it  could fight it off with good medical care 
 (I got lucky and had 4 that fought it off), the cat can live with feline 
 leukemia (probably just a shortened life), etc.  Is there a reason she does 
 not want to keep the cat?
  
 Please keep me posted.  Thanks, Karen

 I told her I'd help look for a home for this kitty.  Lance, are you still in 
 that area?  I know there used to be a Missouri rescue, also, that took FELV 
 cats, too.
 
 Thanks for any suggestions!

 Praying someone takes this little one. FELV+ is not a death sentence.
