Hi Kayte,

I'm  just now getting to all my email; life's been
crazy!!!  I named Cricket for his jumping ability and
because he was black.  The name was perfect for him.

Unfortunately,  some vets do that - if they encounter an FELV cat, 
they recommend euthanization - I hate it, but it's true.


Fortunately, when I encountered my 1st FELV cat (Calawalla Banana 
Boo-boo), the vet was wonderful - didn't recommend Euth, just said 
that it might limit her life expectancy.  Also said that the virus 
didnt' live very long outside the body fluids.


I still know of vets in this town that euth. FELV and even FIV cats, 
simply because  Sad.

Hi Kayte and welcome to the group!

I live in Arizona and for some reason most of our vets here are 
scared of the disease and don't really have a lot of knowledge about 
it.  At the time, Angel had no symptoms at all.  It was just the 
fact that she tested positive.  There is no way I was going to let 
him euthanize her since she had no symptoms.  I had brought her home 
and started searching the internet for information and that is how I 
found this wonderful group of people.  I only had Angel since July, 
but she was such a sweet girl and as long as she was by my side, she 
was happy.  She became ill last weekend and died on Wednesday.  This 
disease hit her very fast..she was only 5 months old.


I wish there was a way to get our vets here more educated and up to 
date on this disease. It's frustrating.


Good luck to you!

I just wanted to share that a lady from the vets office had called 
me last Wed. to check on Angel.  I had to share the bad news and 
tell her  I had lost Angel.  Anyway, the vet himself sent me a 
condolence card in the mail yesterday and I really thought that was 
nice.  I mean, how many vets take the time to do that?


It was very comforting to me.

that was very sweet of them. my name is kayte and i am new to this 
group and disease. i was wandering why did your old vet want angel 
to be euthanized? was she sick? i just found out Friday night my 
baby crackers 5yr old was pos for luekemia and my vet didn't mention 
anything about euthanization. i have learned a lot from all u 
wonderful people and am crossing my fingers crackers is a false 
positive or that he passes this sad disease...also i am so sorry for 
angels passing.
