FELINE IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (FIV)

Feline immunodeficiency virus is in the same familyas the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and the human

immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the virus that causesAIDS). It attacks the immune system and as a resultthe cat is unable to fight off various infections and

cancers. These viruses are called retroviruses. Retroviruses are species-specific.There is no evidence FIV can be transmitted to mammals other than cats. FIV is foundworldwide in domestic cats and wild cats. It is not transmitted by close contact but isshed in the saliva and is usually transmitted by bite wounds.

FIV infection in cats has three phases:

Phase 1- aninfected cat often has a fever and enlarged lymph nodes within a monthor two of infection. These symptoms disappear and the cat is then considered inPhase 2.

Phase 2 the infected cat is a dormant carrier of the virus. During this stage there areno signs of disease. This stage can last for many years. It is during this stage that theimmune system may be gradually destroyed.

Phase 3 occurs most commonly in cats that are 5-12 years old. During this finalstage, the cats immune system does not function properly. The cat becomes proneto infections which are usually chronic. Once a cat is in the late stages of this

disease, the life expectancy is one year or less.

If your cat has been diagnosed as FIV-positive, you will want to work with yourveterinarian to provide the best care for your cat. A vaccine, which does not give totalprotection, is available but there is no cure for FIV. With good care, a FIV positive catcan live a near normal lifespan with no signs of sickness for years.

AREYOUREADYFORARABBIT?

Rabits are complex creatures that make wonderful pets but

they require special care.

Animals like their routines and moving from one home to

another or from a shelter to a permanent home can be stressful for any pet, including

rabbits. By preparing everything ahead of time, you can help ease the process for your new

rabbit.

Here's a quick checklist for what to do before you get your new rabbit:

Set up your rabbit's "rabbitat" in a quiet, out-of-the-way area with one or more

litterboxes (and safe litter), water bowl or bottle, and safe chew toys.

Rabbit-proof any areas of your home to which your rabbit will have access in order to

prevent injuries, but don't forget to supervise him when he's not contained.

Check with the shelter, rescue, or foster home ahead of time to find out which types of

hay and vegetables your rabbit really likes and have them on hand.

Try not to handle your rabbit too much during the first few days. You can allow your rabbit

to check you out by sitting on the floor and letting her come to you.

Keep the environment as quiet as possible.

Let your rabbit get used to his new home before introducing

them if you have other pets, like cats or dogs.

If you already have one or more resident rabbits, keep your

new rabbit separate from them until you can do

introductions in a neutral location.

If you're adopting multiple rabbits at once, keep an extra close eye on them. The stress

from a change of venue can result in fights, even with rabbits who have been bonded for

years.

UPDATE . . . CHAP AND LUCKY!

Chap has been adopted AND his diabetes isstill in remission! Chaps diet consists ofPurina DM plus an occasional small piece ofskinless baked chicken but no insulin (weare keeping our fingers crossed). He has agreat personality (very vocal) and is a Packerfan. He will drag his Packer blanket fromroom to room.

Lucky hasnt been as lucky. We are still inthe process of adjusting her insulin. She iseating Purina DM but needs insulin twice a

day. Before Lucky came to Eastshore, shewas not in a good environment. As a result,she is skeptical of cats, dogs and humans.Lucky is considered a special needs kittybecause she will have to be on the PurinaDM diet plus insulin indefinitely.

She needs a home with someone who canshow her a lot of patience and love.

WISCONSINS NEW DOG SELLER LAW Act 90

PROTECTING DOGS AND PEOPLE

The Wisconsin State Legislature unanimously passed Act 90 which is a new law

intended to protect dogs as well as the people who buy or adopt them. With

this law in place, you are far less likely to get a dog that arrives in your

home with ailments that will lead to high veterinary bills or even death. The

law does cover more than puppy mills.

Whos going to be regulated:

A license is needed if you are a:

1. Dog breeder selling at least 25 dogs a year from at least 3 litters2. Pet store or other retailer selling at least 25 dogs a year3. Dog auction offering at least 50 dogs for sale a year4. Non-profit animal shelter sheltering at least 25 dogs a year5. Animal control facility that contracts with a city, village, town or county6. Flea markets or other temporary market where dogs are sold.

There is no plan to extend the law to cover smaller breeders, sporting dog trainers, pet owners or

others.

What the standards of care require:

Dogs must have:

1. Clean, safe cages or enclosures, that are large enough to allow them to move naturally and thatprotect them from the elements

2. An adequate supply of clean water and clean, palatable, nutritious food3. Daily exercise4. Daily contact with humans and other dogs5. Veterinary care when they are sick6. Safe, comfortable transportation

What this law will cost taxpayers and pet owners:

1. License fees paid by the dog breeders and other licensed businesses and groups will pay theentire cost.

2. No general taxpayer funds will support this program.3. License fees range from $125 a year for non-profit animal shelters to $1,000 a year for someone

selling at least 250 dogs a year.

Who will enforce this law:

The job to protect people, animals and the environment will be handled by the Wisconsin Department ofAgriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection Inspectors. Inspectors are hired with experience and training

in the areas they inspect.

Need more information:

Go to: www.datcp.state.wi.us , search for dog breeder
