He was so sick my vet wanted to put him to sleep when he tested positive, she said he wouldn't recover. In my mind he had a cold and that wasn't a reason to euthanize not to mention he was my baby, a big momma's boy. So I told her to give me antibiotics and took him home. He didn't eat very good but I kept bugging him and I didn't have a computer or know about syringe feeding so I would just put food in front of him constantly and he would eat a little but he didn't eat much and he was very sick. His poor little nose was all snotty and I know he couldn't smell anything. Thankfully he ate enough to not get HL, but he had this URI for over 5 weeks before it cleared up, he was on antiobiotics for over 3 weeks. He looked awful BUT he did recover and lived 3 more years before anemia took him.
I will tell you I spoiled him so rotten and I know that had a lot to do with his recovery, he was the biggest baby (until my Joey, also a siamese mix), and from that experience alone, I know love and psoitive thinking can work miracles, I was too niave and uneducated about FeLV to believe my vet thank God!!
