[Felvtalk] Help with Yeast Infection

[dlgegg at windstream.net]

My Annie who still tests positive is Healthy, active and rules the roost.  Harley who is 18lbs, a great hunter and has an attitude, walks around Annie always with his eyes on her.  He only problem is hayfever.  Like me, when ragweed and horseweed are in bloom, he has runny eyes, sneezes and a runny nose.  If she stays inside, she has no problems.  If she seems healthy other than the ear infection, I would not worry about her.  Have you looked into herbal treatments for her ears?  I rely on herbs for myself and my cats, starting with Bragg's raw vinegar, I put a dropper full in ther water every time I refill their fountains.  This is for Harley who had a problem with urine crystals.  Since his first round, no more.  Check out herbs for yeast problems with a holistic vet.

After the last infection that did not respond to treatment,  I asked the vet to see if she had any immune deficiency issues as I had read that yeast was opportunistic where cats have a suppressed immune system.  Unfortunately the test for Felv (Elisa) came back positive.   I am just devastated as she is my little princess.   When I got her as a kitten,  she had tested positive but tested negative a month later.  I was told that if a kitten tested negative after positive,  that she had shed the virus and would be free of Felv.   I guess that is not the case.    I would have never brought her home if I had any idea that she was positive as I have another cat who was and still is Felv negative.
