Nancy,
Here is an article on what your vet is saying your baby has:
http://www.vin.com/VINDBPub/SearchPB/Proceedings/PR05000/PR00066.htm
If your vet is right and your kitty has FORL (Feline Odontoclastic
Resorptive Lesions), it is a very painful disease and really needs to be
treated.
PS. It is imperative that the teeth roots are removed or the problem
WILL NOT be taken care of. I thought at one time there was a member of
the group who had a kitty with this problem, it's been a while ago, I'm
thinking it may have been Patti, not sure though.

Thank you so much for the article. It answers more questions than any
vet. The vet does suggest three tooth extractions although she said this
would buy the cat only 3 to 6 months. Eventually all the teeth will have
to be removed. The article mentioned irritability because of the mouth
pain. That
The thing about Samantha is that she does eat the hard food and doesn't
seem to experience any discomfort when eating it.I believe she is
actually eating less because of the weight loss as I'm not home during
the day. I know what you mean when you say that you have to be happy
knowing you did your
It is completely unpredictable. But supplements and good care seem to
help a lot. I forgot to mention that CoQ10 is supposed to help with gum
problems. I had one of mine on it for a few years.

Go to a feline dentist, not a regular vet, to get them removed. The dentist
will be more expensive, but it is worth it if you can afford it. They do a
much better job.

I have had Samantha for i year. I just found out that she has leukemia.
She has red irritated gums and is losing weight. I have 4 other cats
that have not contacted the disease. When I adopted her, I was assured
she was felv negative. I love her very much and I am researching the web
to get info
Hi Nancy,
I'm sorry you had to find us, but welcome to the list. Gingivitis,
(irritated gums) is a common problem with felv kitties. The weight loss
is troubling though. Is that why you took her to the vet and found out
she was pos? Did the vet do blood work? Is she eating the same as
Nancy,
I'm sorry to hear that Samantha has tested positive,
but happy you found us. This a great and very well
informed group. I'm even happier that you have
decided to keep Samantha and want to give her the best
care possible. Bless you for doing this.

Sounds like she has gingivitis and could have stomatitis. Clindamycin
is an antibiotic that often helps with gingivitis. My cat Patches stopped
eating for a day or two because of inflamed gums and a five day course of
Clindamycin cleared it up enough for her to feel and act ok again. If it
Hi Nancy,
Is she FeLV+ or does she actually have the cancer form of leukemia?
Can you give more details about what your vet told you?

Nina, the vet did a blood test because she was so thin and she isn't
eating as much. She is scheduled for 3 tooth extractions because the vet
said her tooth roots are exposed. Al least I'm grateful I know what is
wrong. I really didn't have a clue. The vet gave her some depo and
antibiotics. I
Wendy, thank you for the info. I never knew you could mix feline
positive cats with negative ones. Luckily, the other cats are not losing
weight and have better kept coats. My cats don't bite. They generally
just hiss at each other. I try to keep Samantha as comfortable as
possible. I also have
It's really hard to find a good vet. I think I found one just recently.
Samantha was diagnosed with stomatitis. But none of the vets suspected
feline leukemia. They just explained that her gums are allergic to her
teeth. That explanation never made much sense to me. I recently read
that there is
The vet did a blood test and said that it came back negative for FIP but
positive for Feline leukemia. They did a more comprehensive blood test
and they said her bone marrow and cbc was normal. I don't know what it
means exactly, but hopefully it means her disease is not that
unmanageable.

Hey Nancy,
I want to clarify that although many of us feel that
we are fairly safe mixing (especially since most of us
had already exposed the other cats beforehand), there
is not enough research on FeLV, so we don't really
know how it is exactly transmitted, or how easily it
is transmitted.
Keep this vet. He(she) sounds like a good one b/c he
doesn't automatically say to pts for FeLV.

Samantha is two years old. The other cats are about the same age. They
are all rescues. The rescue group said that all the cats tested negative

It's not too surprising that the rescue group is less than up to date on

Hopefully you are right about the mixing. The vet stated that the virus
can be transmitted via food bowls. I don't see evidence of it in my

An average cat needs to eat about one 5.5 oz can of food each day..
If she is eating much less than that than that explains the weight
loss...
FeLV is spread in the saliva so it is possible to spread by grooming
or food and water... It dies as soon as it dries out but if it is kept

Not trusting vet's opinions is a good rule of thumb. The lack of
consistency is shocking, not to mention how many vets will throw up
their arms and give up when a cat tests pos for either fiv or felv. I
only use my vet's opinions as part of the means to guide my decisions.
