In my world, my perspective is usually, it can’t hurt. I would at least get her on the Doxycycline. It might help with the other problems you are having, or not, but I would probably give it a try if it were me. The only thing to watch with the Doxycycline is that the hard tablets have been

Thank you Amani for all of this. My little girl, Bear has never gotten rid of a nose infection. And about 1.5 months ago developed an eye and more extreme nose infection. The vet prescribed an antibiotic for 7 days and then every week thereafter 2 to 3 days of this same oral antibiotic. The

Hi Marlene I am not sure about a 3 year old. I think if he/she is stable and having no problems, I wouldn’t be too concerned. I would be more worried about a kitten, since they have very little reserves. Moreover, generally speaking, FeLV is known to be more problematic for kittens, then it

Amani, in reading this I now realize that I may not be doing enough for my 3 year old. I had understood that this protocol was for when signs/symptoms showed. I didn’t realize otherwise. From reading your post to JoAnne I should also be getting my vet to prescribe now the doxy ? My cat is 6.2

Hi JoAnne If this was my kitten, I would not want to just wait it out to see what might transpire. I did that with my kitten, and it was a mistake. My suggestion is that you start him on a long course (6 weeks) of Doxycycline. I don't know the dosing for such a small kitten. My guess would be

There are a few things you can try but nothing proven to work. People have had good results with T-cyte, Acemannan, and Vitamin C and I think most of these drugs work better before the cat gets sick. My cat Oliver is 3.5 and has severe non regenerative anemia caused by FeLV. We just started

Hi JoAnne, I have a FelV who is 3, who came to me at a month old and tested positive immediately. At that time she had infections and fleas as she was living outdoors alone. The vet recommended euthanasia, I didn’t agree. All her issues were cleared, except the FelV, although I had her tested
