I am rather new to FeLV but Cornell University has good sites for
information on this illness. If the anemia is from FeLV it has to be in
the bone marrow which according to what I have read, means the FeLV has been
with the cat for a long time. Our vet has our Stinky cat on Interferon and
Yes, Michelle the Interferon message was from Stinky's Mom and I will go to
the site you sentfor Revival. The vets are of a notion that if it
isn't FeLV than it is most likely cancer. I will go to this site and order
some for Stinky. I did tell my vet aboutImmuno-regulin use in
catsand he
Lisa:
Please, take your cat in if you can. As I am sure you know, the
anemia sets in it seems overnight. Our Stinky cat is back in
hospital. Her red cell count is down to 13 and that happened from Saturday
(Saturday her count was 27) until today. Monday and Tuesday she was eating
and
Our vets have Stinky on Interferon everyday, once a day, 1 Ml doses.
I don't know if that is best or not however.
Try dogs.about.com for recipes for shampoo (they have four I think).
Vets also sell Skunk Off shampoo that is supposed to work well (so I have been
told). Try a water/Clorox mix on anything that can be bleached if the odor
is in the house on your rugs and things. The vets tell me the same
Way to go Buddy- I am so glad the tests are negative!
Yes!
Belinda and Robin:
Thank you both for the information. Belinda you have been a wealth of
suggestions- and support- thanks ever so much. Robin, it is good to hear
that your other cats are fine- I sure hope the same of our cats if the second
round of testing does show FeLV. Thanks so much to
Thanks so much Tonya. It helps a lot to know there other people out
there cheering on Stinky! She is a fighter and if any cat can, I think it
will be Stinky. Torti's are like that! They're tough little
cats!
Our dog was sprayed two years ago right in the chest- and I was told the
smell could linger on him especially when wet, for several weeks. We tried
tomato juice, shampoo, etc., but, nothing worked very well. He did
getsprayed though, square in the chest, eyes watering, drooling,
etc. "Dogs
So very glad your Wink is home- I hope the test results will be good
news! It is so hard to wait for results and our thoughts and prayers are
with you!
A prayer for Caesar and good thoughts too!And, to update
you all, our Stinky is coming home this afternoon but, this morning she didn't
look very well to me. Stinky is stronger but, I fear for her deeply. I
know the uphill battle she faces so, I understand if she is too tired to go on
but,
I am new to FeLV but, as far as testing goes, I do not trust testing for
more reasons than one, namely, false negatives. I do not know SNAP tests
but, I think tests can throw false results and should never be trusted 100% of
the time. Speaking from personal experience, I would test and
Bless your hearts and our hearts go out to you. I am so sorry about
Gemma- so very sorry!
Thanks and you're right, Stinky isn't fearful of anything, she goes toe to
toe with our 100 plus Lb dog and she usually wins! You're right! We
have tobe strong becausethey sure have been and, again, thanks a
bunch!
Thanks so much Julie and I think you're right, I think it is the not
knowing that is hardest! Once we know more than we can plan for that and
again, thanks and all our best to your babies!
Dear Friends:
Our Stinky cat is home, for now anyway! She seems to be a little
better. She promptly gave the dog a swat as soon as he got within reach
so, she seems her old self again in that respect.
The IFA test ( 2nd test ) came back negative! Yes! Now as all
of you probably know, we
Sounds good so far Julie! Wish the best to
Wink!
I cannot find anything in our city code with regard to having any certain
number of animals. There are permits, etc., required of kennel owners and
inspections regarding this but, nothing at all about the number of animals a
person can have. There are of course codes surrounding the
What is best?
Two weeks ago our fourteen-year-old cat Stinky started to isolate herself
and than began to lose weight and refuse most food offers. We took her
into the veterinarian and he found she has anemia. The anemia is
apparently very bad and the veterinarian ran a FeLV ELISE and the
