How has your cat been feeling since the transfusion? Has he been able to sustain any energy, appetite and such after his transfusion? I am glad you found this board. I was given very good info here after Bogey was diagnosed. Her IFA was positive and so her bone marrow is affected. Her RBC was 13 when I took her in. She had stopped playing, eating and was sleeping all the time. After being on the Prednisone her appetite rebounded. They also put her on an antibiotic that we have since stopped at the vets urging and added Stanzolol 2mg once a day. She goes back in tomorrow to see if her counts are better and I think they will be. Her gums are more pink, playing some and eating good. I am certain though that she is still quite anemic. We just need to show improvement with this treatment. I find myself saying all day today "Please be higher". My point being they can rebound from the anemia. I don't know for how long but I am going to give my cat the best chance at life that I can as I am sure you will and everyone else on this board does.

Re: [Felvtalk] My baby recently diagnosed with FeLV
– more than 10 times the recommended daily dose for cats. That’s the only study which has found this supposed link between Winstrol and liver damage. And even in that study, with those remarkably ridiculous doses, the cats in that study only had elevated liver enzymes (no tumours, etc.) and the liver enzymes dropped back to normal levels when the Winstrol was discontinued. This is consistent with my experience as well. I refused to stop the Winstrol for my cat, when the enzymes went up, because he was going to die with the low red cell count he had. I kept him on Winstrol for around 10 months, before the red cells were in a normal range. During that ten month period, I would wean him down a few times, but ALWAYS the red cells would immediately drop again, so it was more than clear that it was the Winstrol making the numbers rise. So, in the end, he had Winstrol pretty much for the duration of 10 months and his liver enzymes went right back to normal again, once I discontinued the Winstrol – NO lasting damage. This was also my experience with a second cat with a nasal sarcoma, and where I used the Winstrol to keep her appetite up and reduce the swelling (she was 16). The enzymes went quite high at the outset of my use of Winstrol, but went back to normal when I weaned her off for a bit and then again when I ultimately took her off the Winstrol. Get the Winstrol if you can, and use it in combination with the prednisone (which I am told also helps to protect the liver when the Winstrol is used) and Doxycycline.

Re: [Felvtalk] My baby recently diagnosed with FeLV
Hi Elizabeth, I had commented a couple of times on your Facebook posts on the Felv+ Owners page. How has your cat been feeling since the transfusion? Has he been able to sustain any energy, appetite and such after his transfusion? I am glad you found this board. I was given very good info here after Bogey was diagnosed. Her IFA was positive and so her bone marrow is affected. Her RBC was 13 when I took her in. She had stopped playing, eating and was sleeping all the time. After being on the Prednisone her appetite rebounded. They also put her on an antibiotic that we have since stopped at the vets urging and added Stanzolol 2mg once a day. She goes back in tomorrow to see if her counts are better and I think they will be. Her gums are more pink, playing some and eating good. I am certain though that she is still quite anemic. We just need to show improvement with this treatment. I find myself saying all day today ³Please be higher². My point being they can rebound from the anemia. I don¹t know for how long but I am going to give my cat the best chance at life that I can as I am sure you will and everyone else on this board does. Some cats can live a long time with FELV and some just cannot. I wish us all the best of luck.

Re: [Felvtalk] My baby recently diagnosed with FeLV
Good for you for not listening to the euthanasia nonsense. Doxycycline is used in case the anemia is being caused by Hemobartonellosis (Hemobart for short). But you said there was a piece of floss in his stool. Floss can do all kinds of nasty stuff to a kitty's intestines. He could have lost blood because of that. Testing positive for FeLV is unfortunate, because now vets can focus on this instead of looking at the complete picture. Some kitties can live for several years after testing positive, so do not give up hope. How long have the 2 cats been best friends? If the other cat has tested negative, it may very well be that she has a strong enough immune system. Separating them now may only cause undue stress, which you don't want to do. Concentrate on increasing the immune system, keeping them well fed & happy. We never really know how long we have with them - whether they test positive or not... I'm sure others will chime in here too.

Hodor is STUNNING. Looks like a combination of my 2 kitties. Glad you found our group, we're here to support you as you support Hodor. Thanks for helping him. When my cat first got sick, I had my vet order LTCI injections. They seemed to help, but they were expensive. Hugs to both of you!

[Felvtalk] My baby boy Spatz
Hello, I'm hoping someone here can give us some information or insight. Our little tuxedo boy is 8 years old and has been healthy until recently.? He started hiding out and just not acting his usual sweet self, so we took him to the doc.? He was given antibiotics for a week and still not well - better, but not well.? His blood tests showed severe anemia..so blood transfusion, more antibiotics and prednisone.? We were sent to a specialist, who tested and got a weak positve for FELV.? Retest showed positive, so now we're struggling with whether to try interferon (our vet has not had good results) or LTCI (Imulan).? Does anyone have feedback regarding LTCI?? We're willing to try it, but don't want to make our boy go through more injections if the outcome is just survival, we want him to have a good life, you know? The weird thing is, he has had the FELV vaccines, and tested negative in 2004.? Our other boy is 12 years old and negative, but we hate keeping them apart.? I'm so glad I found this forum, I'm just torn up about what to do next and felt there was nowhere to turn. Thank you all!

I have to tell you guys about BooBoo's new regime. It involves taking him out in the patio twice a day for fresh air and nature. He's really enjoying it. He watches and listens to the birds for about 10 to 15 minutes at a time. I think it does him a world of good. Today he walked into the living room after his outdoor adventure, which is unusual, and was waving his tail in Lennie's face who was sleeping on the sofa. This woke Len up who just stared at him. Then Bob was feeding Len some silly cat treats and BooBoo who usually cowers from him, got up marched right over to Len and hissed at him. Totally out of character. Lennie who in his day would lay ruin to any animal who entered his yard just left and went back to bed. On the way to the stairs Boo tore the hell out of the bottom stair carpet and boinged upstairs. I had brought his food up but he literally threw himself down in front of it, put his head between his paws and sulked until Bob came up and encouraged him to eat. It's getting ridiculous. He wants both of us to feed him and stay with him til he's done. So far the Lasix seems to be keeping the fluid under control and he's breathing normally. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Lynne

This didn't go thru the way it should have--sounds like cats on the keyboard.

RE: My baby, Olive has become free now --my 4th loss to FIP..
I am so stupid and out of it,,, I can't even spell my cat's name --- I meant "Olive" -- I am sorry Olive I am just so scattered..

I had to let Olive free fromher body this morning -- she seemed to be in so much pain from the emergency clinic trip, since last night,she has had seizures almost every 15 minu or so last nigth even after valium and I couldn't let her continue that way.. I usually have a very difficult time to help assist them cross any of my kitties, because I can't let go of them. and I never know what they want for sure.. but this time,, it was very difficult to see Olive go through the seizures so many times as she seemed to be in so mcuh pain..it seems very selfish of me to let her be how she was.. I had someone come over and assisted her crossa little while ago-- of course, I have so much gult now and don't know what to do with the feeling.. though logically, I could convince myself that I did a right thing.. i just don't feel right and I have a regret already -- I am feeling numb right now at the same time, I am feeling awful about what i did.. I was talking to dr. Addie from University of glagslow who has done research for FIP for the past two decades, and she was explaining to me how FIP is the disease that we human create by domesticating our kitties and keeping them indoor -- please don't get me wrong.. she was not suggesting that keeping cats indoor was a bad thing.. but there is a price to pay when you have multiple of animals in the house.. as feces from litter box is the most common way to get the corona virus and as they shed from feces -- and out in wild, FIP is much less common due to the fact that they don't use litter boxes obviously... and that's what I meant when I produced the disease and not separating them in a small group.. There are a few people on FIP support list who have lost several of their kitties to FIP --- it can be sproadic and usually is.. but sometimes, it's epidemic.. and when it happens it's very scary..as you already know.. I am so afraid thinking what's now, what's next -- as I am trying not to create a problem before it even happens.. but you just have to understand.. my Oliver was just fine (or at least I thought which was my very bad) until last night.. it seemed progressed so quickly and never seen anything like it... Everyone, prlease pray that my olive is at peace and feel free andmy Dharma, Naomi and Peter are greeting at her at the rainbow bridge..
RE: My baby, Olive has become free now --my 4th loss to FIP..
Dear Hideyo, I am so, so sorry for all the pain you are going thorough with your recent losses. You know rationally that you have done everything you could to give your kitties a few months or perhaps years of a happy and secure and loved life, so please dont let yourself feel guilty for any decision youve made. Your intentions were and are (as are all of ours) to do whatever we can for the animals we so dearly love. You have given all four of them food, shelter, warmth, and care. Be gentle with yourself, and dont second-guess your decision to help little Olive to the bridge. Hold on to the images you have of her sweetly sleeping the way cats do - with her little paws tucked in underneath her and the contented look on her face. She was lucky to have had you for the short time she was here. -Peggy

Hideyo, sending prayers. If she is anemic, wouldn't that be a sign that she has something other than FIP, like leukemia the cancer or something else hard to diagnose (but potentially treatable, or at least manageable for a while with steroids)? Michelle
RE: OT:Need prayers for my baby Dharma again pleease!!
Actually, anemia is one of the common symptoms of FIP as well, usually mild anemia, but as the condition gets worse their PCV could drop.. both of my Naomi and Peter were mildly anemic when they were first diagnosed, but Naomi got more anemic I hate anemia its too frustrating there arent many I can do though I know she is not at a point where she needs transfusion yet.. but if needed, I would try it, and would also try epogen.. I called about Acemanna again as you suggested when I was having a problem with Tsubomi unfortunately its still discontinued temporarily.. Presisolone is one of the treatments suggested for FIP havent used yet as FIP is auto immune disease, their own immune system attack their body.. I have been giving her moducare as immune balancer.

Hi Hideyo, Athena and Artemis are doing great. They are about 1 1/2 years old now and you'd swear Athena can see just as well as her sister - she gets into just as much mischief as Artemis does. They are so cute. I haven't mixed them with the rest of the household, so they get to hang out in my study and sun themselves in the south facing window while I'm at work. My digital camera gave up the ghost last year and I'm leaving hints with my boyfriend for a new one this Christmas (so I can update their pics!)

It is disturbing to me that the Acemanan is still being withheld from the market. I'm trying to remember if it was the FDA or dept. of agriculture that was doing that.

Acemanan availability (was need prayers for my baby Dharma again pleease!!)
You know, I was just thinking that perhaps there might be a way to get special dispensations the way we do for feline interferon. Or, perhaps it's sold in a different country that we could order from. Has anyone looked in to it's availability somewhere besides the US? Has anyone contacted the company that distributes it or produces it to find out? Don't get me started on how "disturbing" it is to be "protected" by our government agencies.

Re: Acemanan availability (was need prayers for my baby Dharma again pleease!!)
It's definitely worth checking into. I've been googling here - the scientific name of this product is acetylated mannans. The injectable form of it is manufactured and marketed by Carrington Laboratories as Acemannan Immunostimulant ™ . Veterinary Products Laboratories sells the product for veterinary application but I'm wondering if it is available outside this milieux. I personally would like to talk directlyto the person who made the decision to withhold it from the market and hear their justification and why it is taking such an extraordinary amount of time. Their claim was that they were auditing it -- but I would also like to know their definition of audit. Ifind it odd that wound dressingscontaining acemannan in gel form are still available. elizabeth In a message dated 10/25/2006 9:34:34 P.M.

This might be a guy to talk to at Carrington Laboratories: Carlton E. Turner, Chief Executive Officer(972) 518-1300 According to this article - Carrington is the only manufacturer in the world...at least the raw materials... News from Carrington Laboratories Makes me wonder if there is a way to process one of these powdered forms to come up with the injectable formula.

RE: My baby Tsubomi is in trouble - please help! - michelle
Thank you michelle, I was hoping that you would respond to me she is on carafate already, but since she is no longer vomiting or having bloody stools, I dont think she has an internal bleeding.. I dont know.. I did read when a cat is severe anemia, they will vomit blood and have bloody stools as blood get too concentrated and I feel that thats what happened She no longer has high fever again I am giving her interferon right now I have given epogen and predisolone also but again,, I am just not sure I may give her lasix as she has a bit difficult time breathing after she moves around or get streesed out.

Hideyo, it sounds like she is anemic from losing blood, which means that no medicine is going to help her unless it stops the bleeding. If she has a bleeding ulcer, she should be given Carafate, which is a medicine that seals up ulcers. Prednisone can make ulcers worse. If she has a bleeding tumor, nothing will help unless the tumor stops bleeding, which sometimes happens. I would ask for Carafate and maybe do an ultrasound. Some vets can do an edoscapy, which is a scope that does not cut into the body at all, and they need only light anesthesia for it. The fever can come from having a reaction to the transfusion. Did they give her a benadryl shot? The hospital that did Simon's transfusions gave him one prophylactically before each transfusion I think. Michelle In a message dated 10/7/2006 2:22:53 A.M.

Re: My baby Tsubomi is in trouble - please help!
Hideyo, it sounds like she is anemic from losing blood, which means that no medicine is going to help her unless it stops the bleeding. If she has a bleeding ulcer, she should be given Carafate, which is a medicine that seals up ulcers. Prednisone can make ulcers worse. If she has a bleeding tumor, nothing will help unless the tumor stops bleeding, which sometimes happens. I would ask for Carafate and maybe do an ultrasound. Some vets can do an edoscapy, which is a scope that does not cut into the body at all, and they need only light anesthesia for it. The fever can come from having a reaction to the transfusion. Did they give her a benadryl shot? The hospital that did Simon's transfusions gave him one prophylactically before each transfusion I think. Michelle In a message dated 10/7/2006 2:22:53 A.M.

Re: my baby crackers
Had you ever had Crackers tested previously? Was he vaccinated? I think it's highly unlikely Crackers got leukemia from Pokemon. Was Pokeman ever tested? I don't think you should blame yourself for bringing Pokemon in, and I doubt that is how Crackers got felv.If Crackers does have felv he sounds very healthy and could live a very long life. You'll get lots of good advice from this list. tonya[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: About last Oct. we found Pokemon at our local park. She had a pink collor on and was so tame and lovable. But she was skinny. I thought I was doing an excellent thing bringing her home and my son 4 and niece 9 wouldn't have it any other way. She seemed to gain weight when she got here. She was small so i thought she was still a kitten about 4-5 months. Well a few weeks ago Pokemon started "coughing" she got into the basement and had insulation on her nose. So when the coughing was still going on but not as bad I thought she must have sniffed some insulation. Last Monday her breathing semed like a deep hard breathing and she was always so skinny i didn't notice a weight lost. I went down into the basment i live in a triplex...i found rat poisoning in a corner on a shelf. I rushed her to my local animal hospital and they told me that she needed emergency care...so we drove to unniversity of penn animal emergency hospital. They took her right in. I was thinking oh no rat poisoning..we dont even have mice here. Well finally after getting half assed answers and them saying it could be this or that...she told me that Pokemon had an abundancy of fluided in her lungs and finally was told that she had lyphomia and that they estimated Pokemon to be between 5-7 yrs old based on teeth and kidney size. To do the full tests and amit her to the ICU unit would be between $6000-$8000 estimate and we needed to put $1300 down. And they were so kind to let us have 5 mins to decide. Also the dr. said that this lyphomia could have been from Feline Aids or Feline Luekemia and that Cracks may have been affected. Now my mind was shot. I decided to euthanize her when they said she was so sick that they also believed she had this for awhile and was little hope. Ok on to Crackers. On the way home from putting Pokemon to sleep I immediately called my vet to get Crackers tested for FIV AND The luekemia. That was Tuesday and today is Saturday. Last nite Friday cracker had his appointment the dr said looks like he will be negative for both but we still have about 2 mins. Well he said oh we do have a positive. As my heart dropped he got his book and said feline luekemia. The dot that registared was a little very lite blue dot. I told him to send out the other ultra violet test. They should be back Sun morning and with the holiday if not sun then Mon. He said Crackers looked very Healthy and strong. I asked him over and over being in shock if there were false positives and he said that the test didn't have any. Here is a little of Crackers history: he is my big baby 18.6 lbs..he has NEVER been sick ever...no colds nothing and he only had diareahha 1 day when he was a yr old. He is very loving and happy..has never been outside except when he would run out and i was right after him. That he grew out of. He has a hearty appetite. I leave out food and fresh water 24-7 for him. He lives a very stress free life and is a LOVER boy he loves to purr and be rubbed. I am willing to do anything in the world for him and i will. I am open to all and all suggestions. And all I can remember is that the 1st month pokemon came they would fight and he did have a bite mark that bleed..he is all white. So i know he suffered a deep wound puncture for her. What kills me is how dense I was. I based Pokemon like a book by its cover. She was beautiful and so sweet I NEVER realized i should of had her tested and never brought her near my baby. I will never be able to forgive myself for Cracker being a positive Feline Leukemia. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Re: my baby crackers
Hi, My name is Wendy. I've been on this site for about 10 months now and have learned so much. My FeLV+ passed away, but it was so late when I found this group, there wasn't enough time to save him. I think that Crackers has a much better chance. I'm sorry to hear about Pokemon. I find, however, that things happen for a reason, and you did the right thing by loving Pokemon. You didn't know about the risks of taking her in, so please don't beat yourself up. So many of us here have exposed our kitties by unknowingly taking in an FeLV+ before we were educated on FeLV. I exposed three others by taking in Cricket, my FeLV+. They are all negative. Everyone has posted great info. so far for you. One thing I didn't see was how old Crackers was. That is important. If he is older, then it is harder for him to contract FeLV, as Chris said. Or rather, easier for him to throw it off if exposed. From our experiences here, adults almost never contract FeLV. It's the kittens that contract it permanently. So I wouldn't worry too much until you test and retest. The only thing that might be a problem is that Pokemon and Crackers were fighting and the veterinary community doesn't know enough about this virus to know if indirect exposure (sharing water bowls, grooming) versus direct exposure (introducing the virus directly to the bloodstream) plays a part in throwing off this virus. It could. In the meantime, I would change Cracker's diet, as Phaewryn pointed out. I feed mine Innova. You can't get the good stuff at a grocery or discount store, nor can you get it at Petsmart or Petco (although you can buy Eukanueba there, but it's not good food either, imo.) Also, vitamin C and L-lyine (without propyline glycol) are good immune supplements. The other big thing is to keep Crackers stress-free. I would also find another vet. One that does not feel euthanasia is the only option with FeLV+ kitties. One that is educated. You can figure this out by calling different vets in the area and speaking with them directly about their philosophy on treating FeLV+'s. You'll get a good feel for a vet this way. Your vet was wrong about the test not having any false positives. Try not to freak out too much. We all love our furbabies dearly here, and you have found a good place to be while dealing with this. It's a great source of support. If you'd like, I can email you a sick and regular care kitty manual that I compiled. I can't attach it to these postings, but I can send it to you directly if you'd like. It's got a lot of info. in it. Please keep us posted on your kitty's diagnosis, etc. :) Wendy Dallas, Tx P.S. I think $6000-8000 for treatment for Pokemon is RIDICULOUS Just ludicrous!!! And I don't necessarily agree with their diagnosis and what they said should be done. I wouldn't go there again if you can avoid it. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

RE: my baby crackers
Its tough to find a vet who has a realistic attitude about FELV. My first vet, who was wonderful, was upfront with me when my Tucson tested pos. He told me that he had very little experience with FELV. I found a second vet who coincidentally is the vet for a local rescuer who takes in FELV cats and hes been great. Never batted an eyelash when I talked to him about mixing; never treated Tucson any differently. She has a tendency to develop low white blood count he gives her immuno-regulin when that happens. Outside or that, we do nothing special. I changed all their foodthey were all indoor cats a couple of them, including Tucson, got to be real porkos! I give them Wellness wet food and eliminated most of the dry food. There are different foods out there and I know people will give you ideas. Since switching, one of my cats has lost weight and Tucson, well shes lost a bit but its tough with the feline vacumn cleaner!

RE: my baby crackers
The thing about food is that some of this food can be pretty pricey You sort of have to balance things. Keep in mind that they dont eat quite as much of the better quality food as some of the cheaper brand I order Wellness online from The Hungry Puppy in NJ even though theres shipping charge, it still comes out cheaper than other places. One can goes a long way even with all 5 of them They tend to eat smaller portions. However, not everybody can do that so you shouldnt feel that you have to spend a fortune on food. You can always mix foods with home made sort of---boiled chicken or boiled any meat cut up in little pieces. All my cats like one veg or another they love eggs cheese. Theres a brand called Figaro and once in a while I throw in a can as its just tuna veggies. Basically, I try to give them a balanced diet, to stay away from stuff that fills them but doesnt give them nutrition, and to vary things a bit just so they dont get into a I dont like that cat food anymore mood! Thats just my way of doing it- Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2006 4:30 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: my baby crackers Where do you buy your cat food? If it's the grocery store, that's the first problem you have to solve. You need to get a phone book, and look up a pet supply store in your area. Once you find one, go to the store, and pick up a bag of cat food, flip it over, and read the ingredients (don't even bother reading anything that's sold in a grocery store, it's all crap). If it doesn't have MEAT as the first (and preferably the first two) ingredients, put it back on the shelf and move on to the next food down. Do this until you find one that DOES have MEAT as the first ingredient. At the same time, you can also look for corn in the ingredients, and try to avoid those too. What you can afford will ultimately tell you how far you can go in buying the best food you can. I personally recommend California Natural or Innova (or Healthwise, for budget-minded people). But there are other good brands too. Others will make brand suggestions, I'm sure. OR, just search our archives, this has been discussed many times in the past on this list. A few other good brands: Chicken Soup, Felidae, Natural Balance, Newman's Own, Pinnacle, Premium Edge Kitten, Wellness, Wysong Archetype Diet, (Eukanuba is an acceptable food is nothing better can be found locally, better than what's sold in grocery stores). Some brands carry several products in their lines. Some are better than others, for example, Premium Edge CAT food is not good, but their KITTEN food is. Wysong's feline diet is not good, but their archetype diet is good. Etc.. Other brands will have good first 2 or three ingredients, but if you keep reading it just gets crazy as you go down the list of ingredients, for example, MANY otherwise good premium cat foods (with meat as the first 2 ingredients and no corn) add garlic, blueberries, and all kinds of other crazy nonsense to their foods. I don't recommend those, simply because they are MORE likely to cause allergies, and garlic is not safe to feed cats at all, I recently learned on this list. Not sure why otherwise good cat foods add something so dangerous to their products, lack of education, I suppose. Anyways, point is, read carefully. There should be NO onion, garlic, or corn, and preferably not a lot of fruit and veggies, as cats are carnivores. Also, herbs add to the chances of allergic reactions too. The more ingredients, the more you're playing with fire as far as allergies go. That's why I prefer the California Natural chicken and rice, VERY basic ingredients!

my baby crackers
About last Oct. we found Pokemon at our local park. She had a pink collor on and was so tame and lovable. But she was skinny. I thought I was doing an excellent thing bringing her home and my son 4 and niece 9 wouldn't have it any other way. She seemed to gain weight when she got here. She was small so i thought she was still a kitten about 4-5 months. Well a few weeks ago Pokemon started "coughing" she got into the basement and had insulation on her nose. So when the coughing was still going on but not as bad I thought she must have sniffed some insulation. Last Monday her breathing semed like a deep hard breathing and she was always so skinny i didn't notice a weight lost. I went down into the basment i live in a triplex...i found rat poisoning in a corner on a shelf. I rushed her to my local animal hospital and they told me that she needed emergency care...so we drove to unniversity of penn animal emergency hospital. They took her right in. I was thinking oh no rat poisoning..we dont even have mice here. Well finally after getting half assed answers and them saying it could be this or that...she told me that Pokemon had an abundancy of fluided in her lungs and finally was told that she had lyphomia and that they estimated Pokemon to be between 5-7 yrs old based on teeth and kidney size. To do the full tests and amit her to the ICU unit would be between $6000-$8000 estimate and we needed to put $1300 down. And they were so kind to let us have 5 mins to decide. Also the dr. said that this lyphomia could have been from Feline Aids or Feline Luekemia and that Cracks may have been affected. Now my mind was shot. I decided to euthanize her when they said she was so sick that they also believed she had this for awhile and was little hope. Ok on to Crackers.

Re: my baby crackers
I am sorry for your terrible experience, but it is absolutely not true that there are no false positives. I had a false positive on a kitten just a few months ago. The first thing I would do is to find a different vet. There are people here who will be able to give you more and better information, but I can tell you there are absolutely false positives.-- Vist the Austin Siamese Rescue store and save a kitty life! http://www.cafepress.com/austinsiamese
RE: my baby crackers
First off, its very hard for a healthy adult cat to catch FELV. There are two testsone is an in-house test, Elissa. Then theres an IFA, blood sent out to lab. Be sure the vet specifically says he did IFA. Now having said all of this, believe me there are tens of thousands of cats who test pos for FELV and nobody ever knows it. My own didnt test + until she was 4I had her since she was a kitten and shes never been outside. False + are not uncommon and further testing retesting is in order Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelley Saveika Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 1:11 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: my baby crackers I am sorry for your terrible experience, but it is absolutely not true that there are no false positives.

thank you all so much who have posted so far your advice is keeping my family in excellent spirits THANK YOU so much and bless all your furry friends:)
Re: my baby crackers
Well, first off, find a vet that isn't so uneducated. The in house ELISA test has a very high rates of inaccurate results. Next, take another look at the food you are feeding, read the ingredients, it should have meat as the first ingredient, preferably the first two ingredients, and there should be NO corn in it at all. Good nutrition is the best thing you can do. Next, once you find a better vet, make sure they run a second IFA, because if your first vet did such a poor job running the ELISA, he could have messed up the sample being sent offfor the IFA you had done through his office (good bedside manner dictates that you DON'T say "Oh it looks like he might be ok" TWO minutes before the test is complete, just to say "Oh, nevermind, he's infected" That's HORRIBLE bedside manner, it's just terrible)! Then, wait 3 months, and retest again. In the meantime, read about all the possible treatments on our main website, and consider trying one, or more, of them, in a hope that he can "throw" the virus. That does happen, cats can test positive, and then later become negative, if they mount an effective immune response to the initial infection. You also might consider a vitamin C supplement, to boost his immune system, and a good multi-vitamin supplement in general. Now, about your not testing prior to adding another cat, well, mistakes happen, All you can do is learn from it, and try to do better next time. Don't blame yourself for things you didn't know, and can't change now, that's pointless, and doesn't help anyone. Besides, FELV is not like FIV, it's not as contagious, it depends really very much on a cat's immune system, unlike FIV, which is almost always spread by a bite wound. Was Crackers ever tested in the past, before you adopted Pokemon? He might have had it all along. You didn't specifically say he tested positive for FELV, you said they did a combo test and he came up positive (and the doctor only knew that by looking in a book?), so I assume since this is a FELV group, he has felv, but does he have FIV too? I worry also, because if the vet had to look up how to read a combo test in a book, how many of these tests has he actually run? How OLD is the batch of test kits he is using? Has he been using the same pack of kits for the past 5 years? Are they expired? How could he possibly know ANYTHING about FELV if he doesn't even know HOW to run the test without reading the book?

Hi, everyone, I wanted to ask everyone one more time to send Naomi prayers and peaceful energy so that she can spend her final days peacefully without pain.. while I am trying to do what I can to save her life.. there is not much left.. she is losing her blood so quickly and very anemic.. and she is too small and cant get her go through transfusion as she gets very stressed out at a vet.. she is sleeping comfortably right now.. but my vet and I agree that she is on the way to heaven soon.. we thought that the bet thing was to let her pass peacefully at home.. this is so hard everyone.. she is only 4 months old and she is such a precious soul.. I was so looking forward to see her grow as I watch her, there is nothing I can do to cure her.. but I also believe that there is life after this life and she will be happier and heading to a better new life I just wish I could spend for time with her.. I wish I could stay home and be with her.. as I work here, I am sending her love and prayer for her peace
Re: Prayers for my baby Naomi for her final days..
oh, hideyo, i'm holding you both in my heart. just love her for every moment you have together--remember, too, that no matter how long we have with our cats, it is NEVER long enough, and the quality of the alloted time is what has to matter. you have filled her little life with so much, please do not minimize that gift.

RE: Prayers for my baby Naomi for her final days..
Hideyo, I am so sorry that Naomi is doing so badly. I know how hard you have tried to help her, and I know how hard it is to have to be away from her now. If it is indeed her time, here are vibes for a gentle Bridge passage for her, and comfort to you. Some people believe that souls who don't get their rightful time here come back later for another chance. Maybe you'll find your sweet girl again. Diane R.

Re: Prayers for my baby Naomi for her final days..
Hideyo,I am praying for you and for Naomi and sending thoughts of peace and comfort your way. I cannot even imagine having to be at work while my baby is at home making her final journey...it must be torture for you! But know that you have done everything you can possibly do and that because of you she has known love, companionship, and a quality of care that she otherwise would not have had. She is lucky tohave you!Hugs!!MarissaHideyo Yamamoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hi, everyone, I wanted to ask everyone one more time to send Naomi prayers and peaceful energy so that she can spend her final days peacefully without pain.. while I am trying to do what I can to save her life.. there is not much left.. she is losing her blood so quickly and very anemic.. and she is too small and cant get her go through transfusion as she gets very stressed out at a vet.. she is sleeping comfortably right now.. but my vet and I agree that she is on the way to heaven soon.. we thought that the bet thing was to let her pass peacefully at home.. this is so hard everyone.. she is only 4 months old and she is such a precious soul..
