Oh, it
must have felt so sad to find out your negative kitty became positive - I worry
about the same thing for my kitties from time to time - I have all sorts of
positives - Corona, FIV and FeLV - so I worry about both directions for all of
my 50 plus cats - as much as I am committed to do everything I can to prevent it
- I try not to think about it too much, either, because it will drive me
insane.
But I
know what you mean by the possibility of our kitties catching something at a
vet's office - I even took Gigner's own thermometer to the vet so that they
won't have to use theirs, and I try not to make an appointment that is late in
the day, but rather, earlier in the day so that they don't handle too many
animals before they touch Ginger. I am very protective and you just never
know!
She
alsomight be in heat already, and I am so not ready her to go through the
surgery (especially after what happened to my suzi), though I am aware of the
stress factor being heat, too.

You
have certainly boosted Ginger's weight, Hideyo--that's
great.
I
know the disappointment you feel about her remaining positive. I went thru the
same thing--not only did they still come up positive, but one that had tested
negative previously re-tested positive.
Have
you tried deli meats? Michelle recommended that when Levi was ill, and he
enjoyed it for a couple of days.
I agree with you re the stress of FeLv cats going to
vet,with barking dogs etc. (never mind what they might pick up in terms
of illness) Are you able to consider having a housecall vet
instead?
Sending lots of positive vibes and hugs for
Ginger.
love,
Kerry

visit
I took Ginger to the vet this
morning for check up not that something has been really wrong with her, but
since her appetite goes up and down from time to time, I thought I should just
make sure that all her organs are ok
When I first got her about 5
months ago, she was about 6 months old, but she only weighed 2 lb. But today, her weight was over 6 lb!
my little girl has grown so
much!!
In house PCV test, her HCT value
is 32 but I also had them send it to a lab which sometimes comes lower
but my vet thought her gum and tongue are nice and pink.
I did FeLV/FIV test since I only
did it once I had a slight hope maybe she wont be positive anymore as I
had read that about 2/3 of FeLV positive cats overcome the virus and test
negative eventually.
But she was still positive I was
very sad, but at the same time, it really doesnt change much in terms of how
I take care of her anyway.
I felt so bad that Ginger freaked
out so much she got so scared because dogs there were barking all the
time. I hope this visit wont
have any negative effect on her well-being due to the stress she
experienced today. She has
not eaten as much and I was a bit worried, though she did drink a whole bowl
of liver shake last night I think she gets tired of eating same thing after
a while She loved baby food for a long time, and all of sudden she stopped
eating it. Then I tried
cooked chicken, and she liked for a while. Then, I tried smoked turkey, which she
has loved for a while, now she is tired of it for now, she has loved steak,
but looks like she is getting tired of it, too. I try salmon, sardines, mackerel cans,
too. Let me know if you have any
suggestions.
Please send Ginger positive energy
that her test result will come back OK
Thank
you.
