Debbie, I don't mean to be sarcastic but it really depends on the issues the
cat has or doesn't have. For my CRF kitty I am looking for the lowest
phosphorus food she'll eat. Cats with sensitive systems really need grain free
foods.
For most cats a high quality canned food is usually best.
Hey Terrie,
Hope this email finds you well and your mother doing well also. I'm sorry to
hear about her. This has been a tough year for a lot of us. I have done a
horrible job of keeping up with the list due to all that's gone on in my life
in the last year, and frankly, I'm just glad that I'

When Gus my SNAP tested once positive male, was not eating, just lying
around, but no major signs of illness. I feed him Gerber meat baby food
with KMR and lysine powder mixed in. He wolfed it down and got over what
appears to have been a viral URI of a mild nature. He is now back to his
old se
I second that!!!

I lost my 18 yr. old Julie to hyperT/kidney failure in December. Instead of
trying to chase Shaft for oral meds, I would suggest trying the transdermal

they are very reasonable compared to my vet/other pharm

Sue,
I don't want to scare you, but 8 is dangerously low, and the member who stated
if you don't do something very soon, Buzzy will die, is correct. The labored
breathing is due to the lack of oxygen in the the blood from the anemia, and
could be causing the heart murmur as well. My kitty died
I would just keep doing whatever you're doing. Having fiv is one of the 'best'
things to have if you have to have a health problem and you're a cat.

still seems like it doesn't make sense--i know better than most that it
takes an adult cat 90 to 120 days to develop antigens after exposure, so why
then do so many articles say that you can test kittens at any age? why not
just SAY that a test result isn't valid in kittens before then? seems to me
there are MANY MANY things about FIV that make it better than having
FeLV--join the yahoogroup FIVCats2 for accurate info.

I don't know why. I think most people just wait on both tests (at shelters)
until the kittens are old enough to combo test. I think you could give the
leukemia test at any age. Honestly, if I were taking in a new cat I would not
even test it as a requisite to taking it in at this point.

Any cat can be anemic. It's just much more serious for felv cats because it is
often nonregenerative. In my opinion IF I could afford it, and IF your cat
handles the stress of the vet ok, I would get the transfusion and see a
specialist. Buy some time, in other words.

I was afraid it sounded like anemia. Did she test him for hemobart? Did she
say it was truly nonregenerative??
