Caring for your pet neutered cats, especially males. Often, cats with FIV show no symptoms for some time, and when they do the symptoms are often fairly non-specific. These can include diarrhoea, sneezing, skin and eye infections, weight loss, lethargy, and reduced appetite. Swollen glands can also be a symptom. The best way to protect your cat from FIV is to get them neutered. This will help reduce their urge to roam and fight, decreasing the risk of your cat being bitten by an infected cat.’

Neuter cats to help protect them against FIV

V

et charity PDSA is calling for more cat owners to take preventive action and get their pets neutered to protect them from Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a cat-specific virus similar to the HIV virus. FIV is spread via cat bites, most commonly seen in unneutered cats, which sadly has no cure.

The vet charity has revealed that nearly one million cats in the UK are not neutered – meaning they are at greater risk of contracting the deadly disease.

Many owners remain unaware of FIV, which can lead to the breakdown of a cat’s immune system. Cats with FIV can live

for long periods where they appear healthy and show no signs of illness, but in the later stages of the disease their immune system begins to struggle and sadly, if they start to suffer they may need to be euthanised.

With no vaccine available in the UK, neutering cats is the best way to protect them as it reduces the chances of them roaming and coming into conflict with each other.

PDSA Vet Olivia AndersonNathan says ‘FIV positive cats do not pose any risk to humans or pets of other species, and the disease is spread through cat bites, a territorial behaviour most commonly seen in non-

If a cat is diagnosed with FIV it is important for owners to take steps to protect their pet and prevent the risk of them spreading the disease to other cats.

Olivia adds ‘FIV-infected cats need special treatment once they’re diagnosed to protect both them and other cats.

Infected cats need to be kept indoors to prevent spreading the infection. Contact with other cats, as long as they don’t fight, can be safe – research shows that within stable multi-cat households where there is no fighting, the chance of an FIV positive cat infecting another cat is incredibly low. However introducing any new cats can upset the stability and lead to fighting so isn’t recommended. As a precaution, infected cats can be fed from a different food bowl to reduce the chance of any saliva coming into contact with healthy cats, and hunting or raw diets should be avoided for infected cats as both put them at higher risk of infections without a healthy immune system. A good quality diet, routine preventive care such as vaccinations and flea control, as well as rapid treatment of any other problems will help them lead a relatively normal life.’

She added ‘If you are concerned your cat may have contracted the virus, call your vet for advice. Certain blood tests can help to determine if your cat has become infected, and although incurable, and if FIV is confirmed your vet will be able to recommend ways to manage the condition.’

T

he railway line to Fleetwood became one of the world’s first holiday resort railways when it opened in 1840.

For 130 years it carried holiday and Irish Sea ferry passengers into Fleetwood, and the port’s oncemassive fish trade to the junction for the national network at Poulton-le-Fylde. The line carried its last passengers in June 1970, apart from the occasional enthusiasts’ excursion.

The Poulton & Wyre Railway Society was formed in 2006 to reopen the section from Poulton to Fleetwood. Network Rail issued a clearance licence to allow Society volunteers access to their section of the line from Poulton to the Cala Gran Caravan Park and Highways England issued one from there to Jameson Road bridge in order to clear vegetation and repair boundary fencing.

Poulton & Wyre Railway Society

Over the past decade PWRS volunteers have removed tons of rubbish and vegetation from the track. Fencing has been repaired, and some of the track sleepers needed replacing. A new footpath across the rail track has been installed for the Wyre Coastal Path to replace a previous very muddy crossing. Thornton and Burn Naze are unrecognisable from the littered, weedstrewn, plant-choked stations of ten years ago.

The ultimate achievement would be to have a fully operational heritage railway from Poulton to Fleetwood, with regular trains running from a transport hub in Fleetwood to link with mainline services at Poulton via a new platform. A separate commuter (community) service using good quality refurbished rolling stock could operate daily and support local transport needs.

Thornton and Burn Naze stations would be brought back into use and a new Fleetwood South station established at Jameson Road for passengers to and from Farmer Parr’s Animal Park and the Fleetwood caravan parks. The station would also be close to the bus stop on Fleetwood Road.

At present all clearance work is carried out by just a few enthusiastic PWRS volunteers at each site.

Some members have undertaken grant-funded certified weed control courses at Myerscough College, to operate our industrial standard weed and brush cutters and to be responsible for the chemical treatment of all types or weeds and shrubs to keep the rail track and corridor clear.

However, the PWRS is desperate for more volunteer support from anyone who can offer a few hours per week, usually on Wednesday or Saturday mornings at each of the above venues. All relevant training will be given and full health and safety policies are strictly complied with. Our present teams offer a great social atmosphere with refreshment breaks when appropriate. Appropriate working clothing can be supplied and Hi Viz outfits are mandatory when working on the rail corridor.

If you feel you may be able to offer some time to assist the PWRS achieve its vision as above, please contact the PWRS Secretary in the first instance to arrange an initial chat and site visit to any of the above working areas of interest. PWRS Chairman & Secretary: Brian Crawford, tel. 01253 975757.
