Re: FeLV+ / FIV+ Maine Coon ...

2005-12-07 Thread gblane

Hi Pat -

I've had an FELV/FIV pos kitty - Mr. Black Kitty, a real beloved cat.  He 
came into my life skinny and sick, but feisty.  Found him in 2001, he died 
in 2002, a year later.


I've also asked about mixing FELV and FIV - and I don't think there's any 
definitive answer, except that both have lowered immune systems, and it 
might be a problem for the FIV kitties.


I give all my FELV kitties .5cc interferon daily as an immune system 
booster.  Give it to my other kitties if they get sick.  Different vets 
charge different prices - I've found a great price ($15 for a large bag) 
and so it's cheap for me.


Best of luck,

Gloria

RE: FeLV+ / FIV+ Maine Coon ...

2005-12-07 Thread Hideyo Yamamoto








Unless the Maine Coon kitty is an aggressive
biter, its pretty safe to mix him with FelK kitties  I would be
more concerned about mixing FelK kitties with FIV kitties (but not feLV
positive) kitties as FeLK can be transmitted more easily by casual contact
especially among FIV kitties whose immune system is already compromised. I am on
FIV support group and many many people on the list mix their FIV positives with
FIV negatives and FIV negatives are not transmitted from FIV positives and they
remain negatives - I have 6 FIV positives and one of the positives is mixed
with negatives and am considering another positive into negatives which is a
big step too me, and I havent done it unless I felt safe about it.. but
I am hesitant to mix with FIV positives with FelV positives because of the
reason I mentioned above.

i totally agree--i'd put an FIV+ with a FeLV+ with no hesitation 
i've known FIVs who have been vaccinated against FeLV to remain FeLV-,

It's so sad that we are seeing so many cats test positive for both Felv and 
FIV.
In fact, we originally had 2 FIV areas and 2 Felv areas, but we had so many 
cats turn up positive for both, we have a Felv+/FIV+ area also.

Yep (with a pre-qualification that FIV+
cats are not aggressive/biters and do the appropriate introduction process so
that they wont feel like they wont feel like protect themselves 
when they feel fears, they can be aggressive though by nature, they may not
never never throw multiple cats who are strangers to each other in the same

Oh.. Jenn  You are making me cry 
I thought of several faces of my babies when I read it  its so
true and its so beautiful 

.and Sickly kitties also know that saying
good-bye does not mean that saying good-bye forever  Sickly kitties
know that they will be even closer to us spiritually even if or after they
cross the bridge.

I wrote about that exact fact in my memorial to my Moogie.












Sickly kitties need more love, more time, more attention, and
more devotion, but they give it all back to you. Sickly kitties snuggle up
under your covers at night because they have a hard time staying warm on their
own. Sickly kitties trust you 100%, because sickly kitties know that you crawl
on your hands and knees on the way to the toilet in the middle of the night
just so you don't step on the sickly kitty stretched across the hall way floor
that doesn't have enough energy (or desire) to move out of your way. Sickly
kitties know that if suddenly their food begins to taste bad and they don't
want to eat it any more, you will go to the grocery store and buy them a carton
of light cream and some ham lunch meat. Sickly kitties know that sudden trips
to the vet to get rehydrated because mom had to be at work for 8 hours and
couldn't be home to force feed water 3 cc's at a time are the norm, and no work
schedule is more important than rehydrating the sickly kitty. Sickly kitties
know that even though they feel really bad, in a few days mom will make it all
better again, and they can enjoy a few more weeks under the covers with mom at
night, a few more weeks walking across mom's keyboard on the weekends. Sickly
kitties know that mom never lies, mom never ignores them, and mom never puts
them in second place. In the end, sickly kitties know that mom will be there
and hold them and tell them everything is OK, and that it's OK to go to sleep,
and as they close their eyes and let go, sickly kitties know that mom loves
them, and always will, and mom knows the love is a mutual feeling.

I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special needs cat who
must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life.
Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they add up
until she earns a free can of formula!
PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil!
If you use KMR, even just one can, please email me for the NEW address to send
them to!
