[Felvtalk] Checking in.....

Fri Jul 21 11:54:03 CDT 2017

I tried, I was going to get him a rabbit but Skylar is huge and would kill it.  I tried to see if he liked my dog and my dog scares the hell out of him and the dog is old.  LOL  have a nice weekend.  I wanted to find someone who lived close who had an FELV Cat so we could see how they did together but no one lives near me.

You could  vaccinate one of yours against felv.  or maybe a different species for him to watch like a fish tank, bird feeders outside of room, or if you have a smart tv..paul dinning videos on youtube are a favorite of mine and my girls :).

Mozart and Miko did everything together. Their mom, Ally tolerated being with them but would have been fine as only kitty. After Miko died, eventually she started playing with him.  He is definitely more dependent on her now than she is on him :-).

I am scared to get him a friend since I have 14 other cats in the house.  He is alone in a big area of the house.  But I am not sure if him and another cat would spread germs back and forth.   My cat clan is up to 28 cats.  Insane.

I understand Sheila! I have my first too, actually Mom and her kittens. One kitten passed away.and the other is 15 months old. Plus I took another FeLv+ cat from out shelter. I will probably end up adopting her too :).

No, he said it was no big deal at all.  I just worry.  This is my first FELV cat.

Sheila did your vet seem concerned about the higher cholesterol?

It was part of a blood panel I had done on him.  I get bloodwork every 6 months and I thought it was odd too.

I have never had anyone tell me my cats needed cholesterol tested.
i was beginning to wonder if the list was still there, had not heard anything.

> My Hospice Boy ( Gilbert) is doing quite well for the moment but ( as we all know with such things it could change any minute...so I'll just enjoy it while it's happening)....    Wondering if any of you have experience with Higher dose Prednisolone administered chronically ( say above 7.5 mg QD)...  When I agreed to Foster Gilbert it came with the proviso that I would follow their directions ( Which I will hold to unless I feel they are killing him unnecessarily quickly)  His Tumor does not appear to have gotten any larger and his pain appears to be pretty well controlled.... Just wish I knew specifically what is helping the most so I could cut down on superfluous drugs....currently he's on Gabapentin( .4 cc BID if pain is up.. QD if doing OK).. for pain, prednisolone ( 10 mg QD administered via syringe dissolved in milk, Venus Fly Trap SubQ BID ( interesting substance... bears closer scrutiny...  supposed to have anti tumor activity) Two other " alternative " medications !
 which I h
 ave suspended only because the poor boy screams bloody murder every time I have to give him something..... with a tumor invading his oral cavity I want to keep anything PO to a minimum....

> don't and the ones that that aren't ..do Hope everyones buddies are doing reasonably well ( as reasonably well as FeLV Kitties can do)...  Gilbert, as I mentioned, had a traumatic brain injury which has left him with poor balance... but lately he's been insistent on expanding his range and even tried running this AM...  Wasn't in anything resembling a straight line but the spirit in this guy is enough to make you weep...  Guess that's part of why I am such a fan of animals.... they simply do what they have to and do it without complaint  ( Sure glad they can't speak...perhaps I'd like them less if their inner thoughts were more like ( Why ME??  I'm a more thoughtful caring cat than Mittens over there; why did _ I_ have to get hit by a car and THEN get cancer!!... and there's that jerk Mittens running around all carefree and happy...where's the Justice I ask you!!!!)...
