It's now been just over two months since Tommy died. My heart is ready to
welcome home a new kitten. My other two cats have tested negative for FeLV
(yay!!). Is there anything special I need to do to make sure the virus isn't
still on toys, bedding, etc? I did wash the bedding, and I'm going to
Just a note to let you know that Tommy lost his battle with FeLV on Tuesday. I
still cannot believe how quickly it took over, and by Tuesday morning he was so
weak and his eyes were so empty. It was like his soul had left his little body.
He was extremely anemic and his liver enzymes were elevat

look okay. Yesterday, he went to see his holistic vet aga

not be that dangerous. Here is a link to info from a CRF website on
precautions to be used during the surgery.

I would make sure your vet followed these precautions.

This past week, my one year old FeLV+ kitty (Tommy) started pawing at the left
side of his face. I suspected an ear infection, so I took him to his holistic
vet. His ears were clean and had no inflammation. The ONLY thing she saw was
some inflammation around one of his back teeth where some enam
I'm very familiar with this video ... love it! I had no idea he has FeLV.
What a great cat, and a great cat dad.

My holistic vet prescribed various "meds" to reduce stress including
Rescue Remedy and Feliway. Perhaps yours has some ideas along those
lines?

Hi Iva,
I just wanted to tell you how much I can relate to your dilemma. Last year,
I brought Tommy home and successfully introduced him to his new brother and
sister, only to find out that he was FeLV+. I was given the same two
options - separate or euthanize. I can only tell you what I did.
Jody, I am Tommy's mom. I heard through another friend that Darcy has been
having trouble. I have nothing to offer, but I just wanted you to know that
you and Darcy are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Karen

Hi Avia! I am the other person you talked to. :) The Vetri-DMG was
given to Tommy by his holistic vet, along with the homeopathic
antiviral. Will it "get rid" of the FeLV? I have no idea. All I can
say is that I've talked to others who had cats test positive
initially, and then negative
A laser spay is most definitely an option! I had them use a laser
for Tommy's neuter, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's a bit more
expensive, but sooo worth it. He had no pain and recovered like
it was nothing. I know spays are much more involved, but I have heard
good things abou
Tommy tested positive at 3 1/2 months old.
He is seeing a holistic vet, who gave him Vetri-DMG (an immune
system booster) and a homeopathic mixture of antivirals. The
homeopathic meds are Galium and Engystol. His holistic vet
recommended that I get him vaccinated one more time
great to hear that he is doing so well. Sounds like you have a
good holistic vet, very involved in what is going on with him. Keep
loving your little guy!

I am taking my kitten, Tommy, to a holistic vet this morning. After
speaking with her yesterday, I am very encouraged! Like some of you
have told me, she said that a separation would be too stressful on
ALL of the cats, which is the worst thing for their little immune
systems.
Thank you Marylyn and ALL! I have decided that I want to explore the
holistic vet option. I have been in e-mail contact with one holistic
vet in my area, and am going to set up an appointment. I may have to

for them.

even more. So after calling a good friend while sitting outside of

I am so happy to have found this list. Two weeks ago, I took in a 3
month old kitten. He's a beautiful orange kitten and I've fallen in
love with him. Yesterday I took him to the vet for his vaccines, and
we ran an FeLV/FIV "snap" test. It came back positive for FeLV. We
