Heather - 01 Dec 2004 14:30 GMT 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.

I had no idea declawing was a "philisophical" matter.

LOL! The silly twit couldn't resist another > 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.

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.

I keep thinking and worrying about this cat.

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

[quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > --unknown >Feline Healthcare: http://maxshouse.com 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.

The things you can learn > on the WWW!! 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.

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

Congratulations on your new family member.

Slimpickins - 11 Dec 2004 16:28 GMT 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
