I'd like to thank the members of this group who were so
helpful to me and Meerli when he was sick.

As it stands now, he is *much* better! He gets his antibiotic
drops for two more days, he's alert, he's now eating and
drinking on his own,and he purrs up a storm anytime he's
held or stroked.

Phil P. . I'm very grateful for your kind, knowledgeable
responses.

Way to go, Phil. I had no idea declawing was a "philisophical" matter.

Ha!  (re: last sentence)  In that case, you lucked out.

unprovoked jab! LOL!

Hey, what is, is...  a spade's a spade; I called it as I've seen it happen
time & time again to umpteen posters.  If you have a philosophical
difference with a person, you're usually out to be as nasty as possible to
them.  Including all of the LMAO's,  LOL's, & exclamation points galore in
your replies - Mr. Predictable, when you fly off the handle.

If you had a difference of opinion about an issue with a poster, and yet
were civil & helpful to them, then yes, IMO, they *did* luck out.  Rather
refreshing.

....and a silly twit is a silly twit.

Six years now, you've been launching these unprovoked attacks  - At least I
launch my attacks against people who mistreat, abuse or neglect cats.  You
launch yours outta the blue.  Do you realize you're an a.shole and you have
something seriously wrong with you?  Or are you as clueless as you are
self-righteous?  They're rhetorical questions in case you don't have anyone
around to help you figure it out....

I used to get a laugh from your unprovoked attacks, but now I see something
is seriously wrong with you - so I won't laugh at you this time.

Go ahead; go on like a bad case of diarrhea as you usually do.  You'll just
sharpen my point.

So what's happening with "One Eye"?  I keep thinking and worrying about this
cat.

I welcome philosophical differences.
It would be kind of boring if everyone thought the same way. :-)

Hiya Susan,

Yabba dabba doo!  Nothing makes me happier than a kitten who sends the
parvovirus back to hell from whence it came!  You can now rest assured that
this little monster will never harm him again.  Naturally exposed kittens
that recover usually develop life-long immunity.  Still, it wouldn't hurt to
finish up the kitten series of vaccinations after he fully recovers - which
will probably take a few weeks - and his first year "booster".

I think most cats develop life-long immunity naturally - otherwise FP would
have decimated the feral population a long time ago.

One last note of caution:   Once FP is brought into a home *infectious*
virus can survive for *months to years* outside the body.  Therefore, its
absolutely *imperative* that you vaccinate  all new kittens you might adopt
at least two weeks before you introduce then into your home.

Thanks for the update.  You sure made my day!!!

Best of luck.

Phil

Hi Phil! :-)
  The very first thing I do after Meerli is completely over this
is to get all his inoculations updated so no illness can strike him
again.
  He's a strong little fellow and is once again into all kinds of
mischief....just as any kitten should be;. :-)
  I researched Panleuk on the web and found out that the virus can
survive for years in almost any environment! The things you can learn
on the WWW!!
 In the future, if I do get another kitten, I intend to make sure
that his/her vaccinations have been done before he reaches my home.

I have an excellent article on feline panleukopenia written by the
virologist (Fred Scott) who first documented maternal antibody interference
with FP vaccines as the reason for many vaccine failures.  The "kitten
series" we have today are a result of his work.  There isn't a vet alive who
is responsible for saving more lives than Dr. Scott.

Hi Phil,

I know you wrote this as part of another thread last week, but I wanted to
thank you for this.  My husband and I just adopted our first cat and we
have our first vet appointment scheduled for the end of December.  We were
trying to come up with a list of questions/information we need, and your
site has been extremely helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to put it together to help us newbies

Hi Phil,

I'd like to add how helpful and excellent your site is! You ( and other old-
timers here,) helped me greatly @t 5 or 6 years ago with my various health
concerns re: my dearest Blue, who just recently passed away on Nov 20th-04.

You (and others) always answered my questions kindly and intelligently and
yet never 'flamed' me just because I don't fit-in with typical, cookie
cutter mold of 'cat lovers'. Fact is, I loved my cat Blue dearly, but I know
that he was not* your typical average cat. He was special. If he was an
average cat, and had any sort of ticky behavioral issues, then I would have
found a home for him, as I don't do well with hard to train and/or
unaffectionate 'animals', period.

Anyway, I just passed on your site with several family members and friends
who have cats.  How I wish you were located near in the FL panhandle, but
alas it's probably a good thing your not, because I'd probably be constantly
'picking your brain' about your vast knowledge on cat's health and all of
their related symptoms.

W/ regard,

ML
