I've ever met! I didn't know much about FIV other than it was pretty
hard to spread it and that cats can live relatively normal lives with
the virus. But what really set me straight was the attitude of my vet
who basically said,
My FIV cats have always been pretty affection and mellow. But then so are my non-FIV cats. I do think that, as tomcats go, the ones who aren't all that into fighting are more inclined to get beaten up and get FIV.[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We've got an FIV guy here...the sweetest, most laid back l

Lucky you, with a vet like that! No, I remember
MC (tenhousecats) saying that at their large
rescue up in Michigan, the FIV's were sweet and
laid back - and all mine six are (and healthy too, no problelms).

Hi Lance,
I haven't been on my email most of this week and I
just read about Ember. It does sound like a reaction
to the Advantage. Although I've never had a problem
using it on my furbabies, each and every kitty is
different. Please update us on how she is doing
today. I hope she's back to h
Hi Sherry,
Just checking in to see how you are doing. How was
your camping trip a few weeks ago? How are all your
babies doing at the shelter? I hope well.

I am sorry to hear about Mowgli, as well as all the

Strength going out to you.

Hi Wendy thanks for asking,the camping trip was ok.It was a bit cold.I ate way too much junk,and I am a Weight Watcher Lifetimer and I sure was glad to be back on track when I got home. :) We lost Lola when I was camping and now Mowgli.And still needing prayers for Mini and Hiliary is at the clinic
Sherry,
Glad to hear you had a good time, but sad to hear
about your babies, as I know you were. You are such a
trooper. You and those kitties. My husband and I
went on WW last fall and it is a great program! Tried
and true. Take care of yourself and keep us posted on
the furbabies.
:)

"No big deal" -- those were the exact words of one of my vets when Scooter tested FIV+ And my current vet (part of an AAHA certified veterinary hospital) is also similarly enlightened, including on the question of FIV+ and FIV- cats mixing. I know how lucky I am. I know this is not the standard
All four of my kitties do fine on the Evo, but some
kitties can definitely be allergic. I've read about
other's experiences like that before. It sounds like
you've found a food that works. I'd compare the
labels to see what differences there are in
ingredients so maybe you can pinpoint the culpr
I think FIV cats seem to be the sweetest too - trapped
one the other day and the poor boy peed in the trap,
he was so frightened. That's the first time that's
ever happened to me.
There are a whole bunch of rescue people a little
north of where I am who instead of saying the cat

HI Phaewryn,
My mom did have to do some digging around in her fur to find the flea
dirt. Mattie is a shih tzu with long, long hair. My dad checked
Mattie over and never found fleas. Very strange. I read just
yesterday that if we had gotten a sample of the flea dirt, we could
have put it o
My FIV+, Simba, is sooo cool...he used to play fetch when he was a
kitten. He'd go after those feathers on a long stick & pick the whole
thing up in his mouth & bring it back & it was bigger than he was!

As long there is a dog in the home and it goes outside there will be fleas around.
If it isn't treated for fleas the fleas are going to jump on the kitty. Then you know for obvious reasons.
Us humans can carry fleas into our homes as well.
Especially when around a lot of sand and dirt.
In a
Program, a pill that is a flea birth control hormone, seems to work well,

that is true or not). I don't use it with mine, but I don't use anything
for fleas at this point. If they get them, I would use that befo

6 months, never tried it though.

True, but somehow it seems to control the flea populations sufficiently
that way so the fleas disappear. I am not sure why. I think maybe the adults, by
the time they bite, don't live much longer.

Hi Michelle,
Just reread your post and see that's what you said. I think a fleas
life span is only about 6 weeks.

Mama Kitty is a celebrity now :0) She is 'Pet of the Month' at my
veterinarians office! She got free treats and toys and her name will be on
the sign out front for a month. We are so proud!
This afternoon MK had her fourth treatment with Acemannan and a vitamin B12
shot. She has gained

Great news about MK! You definitely should be proud if she can take
those abdominal shots. I'm pretty sure she's tougher than me. Icing
on the cake to have her attain the title of "Pet of the Month."
As for donations for testing treatments, I've wondered about this
myself. I joined up with
I've had great success with a flea comb and dippping it in a container
