One of our FelV kittens is very anemic. Has anyone ever tried iron suppliments? We went back to the vet yesterday, and got her vitamins and iron, and hope this will buy her a bit more time.
She is 8 months old and only weighs 3 1/2 pounds. She didn't actually lose the weight, she just never gained anymore weight than that, as she is also a small cat. She recently lost control of her back legs and the vet isn't sure this is caused by the FelV. He thinks it may be a neurological thing...... This happened suddenly about a week ago. First she was wobbly and then she got so she couldn't stand at all, and also lost control of her bladder and bowels. She is still eating and does not seem to be in any pain. Otherwise I'd put her to sleep. She is my daughter's favorite cat, and she doesn't want to do this unless the cat is in distress. I just wondered if any of you had ever seen this lose of mobility in a FelV cat? Advice please.
