[Felvtalk] Tiffany

[Rachel Dagner]

How horrible they make you feel that way! Some people are just ignorant,
and not much we can do about that. Vets are here to help us care for our
sick animals not make us feel worse. Shameful. Have they suggested AD
prescription diet from Hills? It is high calorie and easy to syringe
because of the consistency. There are some good videos on You Tube showing
you exactly how to do it. I had to syringe feed Tucker AD for awhile until
he started eating again. You could try this first instead of the tube.
Sometimes after syringing awhile cats will even eat the AD on their own. Or
hopefully feel better as they improve and get their appetite back.

Thanks to all who has given advice. We went to vet last night and her blood
levels have improved. However, Since December she is down 4 lbs. She purrs
and is a good girl. I will keep moving forward until Tiffany wants to leave
me. Due to her lack of eating they want to put in a side trach tube... I am
not comfortable with this due to her state. I don't want her sedated in
case she passes away from sedation. A lot of vets in Milwaukee Wisconsin
where Tiffany and I live are incompetent about feline leuk.and treat us
like we are cootie filled.. I get it she is sick and feline leukemia is
dangerous but dont disrespect my child. I plan to use the advice given to
me.

Hi Roxanne,

I just lost my 5-1/2 year old FeLV+ male cat - Tigger – however I do think
if I had gotten him on the Winstrol (Stanozolol) sooner, along with the
Prednisolone, he would have had a chance of making it longer. It turned his
bone marrow back on to producing blood cells, and I believe it turned his
anemia from non-regenerative to regenerative. I also wish I would have put
him on the antibiotic Doxycycline rather than Convenia because it may
interfere with the virus duplicating itself. If you do decide to try
Winstrol and are unable to find it – I do have a source for it in Arizona –
a very good company. I used the liquid and it worked well because it was
salmon-flavorerd. It comes in other forms and flavors also.



I hope Tiffany is doing better!



Ardy

In the last two weeks my poor Tiffany has had three blood transfusions.
Vets and nurses all feel she has a will to live. We just need to get over
this hump. She will now be on epogen. Any feedback is welcome. She was
diagnosed with feline leukemia a year ago. Has anyone had a feline tgat
lived awhile with feline leukemia... Thanks
