Thanks. That helps. In that case I would very highly recommend that you
give her a few doses of Immuno-Regulin shots. There is info about it on the
website ( www.felineleukemia.org). It has
helped a bunch of our cats with weak immune issues like respiratory infections
and low white blood cell counts and anemia. It has specifically helped
with fevers. It is an IV injection every 3 or 4 days for a couple of
weeks. When I have used it, I have only needed to do one or two shots
before seeing great improvement.
Has Minnie been positive since she was born? If so, 10 years is quite an
accomplishment-- I'm jealous! It is my dream for mine to live that
long. So far my oldest was just under 7 when she died. I have two now,
about 5 and 6 I think (I have had them 4 years so am guessing at how old
they were when they arrived-- they looked like young adults).

minnie wasjust treated less than two weeks ago for an abdominal abcess; i
noticed that she hadn't had a bowel movement for a few days and took her into
animal emergency.... two drain tubes were put in and some oral
antibiotics...also fluids as her system was weak from the high fever....
she did ok after the proceedure... ate ok... took her into a new vet that
came highly recommended. she IS awesome.
she said that minnie's recent medical incident was probably due to the
FELV and her weakened immune system... she put her on some more
antibiotics...( which have really seemed to help ) but was still not geting
enough fluid so i had to take her in twice last week for sub-q's.... she hates
these and it stresses her so that i would like to try another approach. my new
vet was going out of town this weekend and wouldn't be back until next week.
she said she would be available by phone if i had any concerns.... minnie's
new doc did prepare me that minnie was facing some pretty dire realities...
she said there were a number of things we might try and echoed my concerns
about quality of life.... i adore this kitten ( well she is 10 years old but
has always been so tiny).... i just want what is best for her...
