102. Online Feline Fanciers: Zoonoses And You A description of diseases cats can transmit to their owners. http://home.earthlink.net/~featherland/off/zoonoses.html

Zoonoses and You: Something To Be Concerned About by Lorraine Shelton of Featherland Cattery My introduction to zoonoses, diseases that can spread from animals to man, came in the form of an annoying upper respiratory infection that would not clear up. Many years ago I used to buy imported parrots from a quarantine station, bring them home, and tame them for sale as pets. I knew that this practice was slightly injurious to my health, as I sported bruises and scars from parrot bites so severe that a total stranger was prompted to give me the phone number of a battered women's shelter! But I didn't realize that these assaults to my flesh were not the only injuries I could sustain from my daily contact with pet birds. My doctor suspected that I had contracted psittacosis, a chlamydial infection of birds that can cause pneumonia in humans. Although easily cured in healthy young adults as myself with a course of antibiotics, this disease can be lifethreatening in immunocompromised persons, such as the very young and the elderly. After hearing this frightening news, I started to treat every incoming parrot for this disease as well as test them prior to sale to make sure I would not spread this disease to an unsuspecting pet owner. Since that time I have learned that it is important for my doctor to know my hobbies and my occupation so that he can be aware of diseases that other patients may not be at risk for. And I became aware of the potential for legal liability if one of my customers should become sick following the sale of one of my animals.

Vaccine Induced Sarcoma and Neoplasene Treatment If you've been following the story of little Angela, the cat diagnosed in April, 2009 with vaccine induced sarcoma, then you know that she recently had her 3rd surgery to remove the sarcoma. Unfortunately, vaccine induced sarcoma is very difficult to treat effectively through surgery alone. The cancer often comes back even after the tumor is surgically removed. In one study at Cornell University, out of nearly 100 cats with vaccine induced sarcoma who had their tumors surgically removed, only about 13 percent of them were still alive after 2 years had passed.
