Sick cats and immmunosupression

:lol: Thanks Ladies:lol:

Yes, I think I'll phone my vet and ask. Hubby is being paranoid about it and I can't find evidence to prove it isn't an issue:hehe:

What do you mean Raglet - I can't send you any more pets then? What a shame. They have 350 looking for homes

Thankyou eveyone for yor very helpful advice and experiences!

And the websites were helpful too:blush:.

I tend to agree about the immunosupression being minimal - I don't catch things any more easily than hubby, and for the last several years 100% of what I've caught was a present from him, never a patient or animal.

The issue of toxoplasmosis does worry me - I don't know if I've ever been exposed, but I think I'll ask my GP to run a test to find out. If I'm already positive (and I grew up on a farm with hundreds of pets, helped butcher animals generally had my hands dirty, so probably did get exposed), then I can't catch it again, so that issue would be resolved.

I'm off to see the lady who currently has the sick cats in her home to protect the other healthy cats in the cattery. She's got 30 personally in her livingroom at the moment, so I do hope I can help out. A couple of old moggys asleep on the lounge sounds just the right thing:blush:

:blush::blush::blush:I met some of the orphans yesterday. 32 4 week old kittens, all asleep in their baskets for the 2pm rest hour.
Very very cute!
My depest respect to their current forster mum on achieving rest hour like that:blush::blush::blush:.


Kisses to your poorly pooch Raglet.

Hallo!

Well, I got the results back on the toxoplasmosis screen back, and suprisingly and dissapointingly - I'm negative.

Now I have to think whether the risk is worth it. My vet said not to do it. I'm not normally so indicisive, but I really don't know.....
