Charlotte has an appointment to see Dr. Ray again tomorrow. Her IFA test did come back positive - so Dr. Ray is not optimistic about the long-term outcome, especially since she's so young. But we'll see. He mentioned trying Epogen - anyone have any success with that? Overall, though, she is

I'm certainly not a vet, so maybe this is overkill, but I'm very cautious about carrying disease/germs etc. when I come back from the shelter (I volunteer there) I am afraid, not that I'll infect anyone there, but that my FeLV+ boy will pick up some germ from there. So I don't take him there

All 15 of my cats came from there, including Charlotte! So if I'm going to bring anything home I've probably done it already...and we've had outbreaks of parvo and both feline and canine distemper at work with no problems back at home. I do take off my shoes before coming into the house and I

Hi Laurie, I'm not familiar with what is going on with Charlotte, is she anemic and if so what is her HCT? If she is anemic has she been on doxocycline for at least 4 weeks? Positive cats commonly get something called hemobartonella, it is acually recently called something else but it

Even if the others hadn't been vaccinated at all, they still could be fine. I'm almost positive our Denzel had felv when he joined our household (he was already sick), but the vet didn't test him until over a year later. Our other 5 all tested negative despite sharing dishes and mutual

I got some bad news at the vet today. I brought Charlotte in for a visit because she wasn't herself and had been losing weight. She's been with me for about a year, and, like all my cats, was combo-tested before she was put in with my other cats. So FeLV was the last thing I was worried about.
