I just
sent diet suggestions to your aol address. Would you mind please
confirming when you get it.
Don't
concern yourself with putting Maximus on a diet. Be glad he enjoys his
food!
(One
of the biggest problems many of us unfortunately encounter at some point in our
FeLv kitties is lack of interest in eating.)
One
more thing: you will find that many members' advice is better than many vets'
advice, as many--probably most---vets unfortunately don't know much about
FeLV.
take
care, Kerry

Thank you guys! I have not tried any medicines on the cat,
my doctor didn't recommend any. What is Interferon? And as for food,
what do you suggest? I'm feeding him Purina Indoor Formula Cat
Chow. The vet did say that he is slightly overweight, so he will
be going on a diet soon. Thanks
again.

Welcome,
Sorry you had to find us this way, but we are all here for each other with
tons of support. My Amber Girl is positive and she sounds like she has a cold,
you can always here her breathing, but that is ok she is still good....are you
using Interferon for Maximus?

Welcome to the list. You will get a lot of emails. Someone put together a bunch of recommendations and made a little "FeLV primer," and someone else has an email with lots of food and supplement recommendations. I am sure they both will send them to you. In general, make sure Maximus stays as stress-free as possible, avoid surgeries unless absolutely necessary, feed good quality foods (not the ones in supermarkets), feed immune support supplements daily, and learn about what illenesses can strike FeLV+ cats and what the treatments are so you will be prepared if it happens. You will learn specifics on all of these from the aforementioned prefab emails you will probably be sent, and from the archived and ongoing posts.Take care,MichelleIn a message dated 3/15/05 2:18:38 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:Hi everyone, I was just doing some research on Feline Leukemia, and found this website. My cat, Maximus, is the best cat ever. My boyfriend and I found him as a stray and took him in. We brought him to the vet (after we fell in love with him), and they did the leukemia test, and it came back positive. We were devastated. So far he seems to be doing okay, but I get scared everyday that I'm going to come home from work and he's going to be sick. He always sounds like he has a cold. I don't know much about the disease, except that there is no cure. He's not even two years old yet. If anyone has any ideas on how I can make sure that he lives as much of a healthy life that he can, that would be great. This is a great website.
