My vet ordered Interferon and Cyproheptadine. The vet suspects leukemia is
already in kitty's bone marrow. Ginger kitty refuses to eat his food but tried
to eat his cat litter last night. What should I do? Euthanasia? I can't see my
darling suffer like this! Marinda

First -- I'm sorry you had to find us, but I'm glad you're here.
Please try to remain as calm as possible and don't panic. Ginger will pick up
on that -- he might get stressed out if you're freaking out and that won't help
him. (hugs)
Only you can decide if it's time to let him go.
I'm sorry if I missed any latest info, but has the vet seen Ginger kitty
yet? Has he given any supportive treatment like at least some
sub-q fluids?
If you haven't fed a cat with a syringe, technique is important. I always
gave the cat sitting on my lap or to my side, holding the head from
That's what I found when I googled it, Lorrie :) This was in response to

Hi, I am new to all of this. My cat Oliver had the PCR after testing positive

Here it is:

I am dealing with CRF on a continuous basis, and treatment depends on the
levels of creatinine, BUN, phosphorus, etc.
I use aluminum hydroxide, Pepcid AC, sub=q fluids, special diets, and
whatever the vet tells me depending on test results.

So sorry to hear about Smokey. I have a friend who had this with her dog. She
had the 1st tumor removed, but it kept spreading. She just kept him going as
long as he was still happy not suffering.
Give him lots of love. He has done remarkable living this long with this awful
virus.
If it had tentacles, it could be squamous cell cancer

I'm a little confused. I thought the FeLV virus gets into the bone marrow of
every cat that is not able to extinguish the virus. The virus gets into the
blood stream then progresses to the bone marrow. From there the virus will
replicate in the white blood cells and the cat will stay

One of my vets tells of cats who drink local city water who develop
this problem. My guys all drink bottled spring or distilled water
