PLEASE do not euthanize her based on a positive test!  That is not a reason. FeLV is like HIV. It means a suppressed immune system. It does not mean your cat is going to die anytime soon.
 
Immuno-Regulin is a good immune stimulant and really seems to help with upper respiratory viruses, fevers, and viruses generally.  Lysine also helps a lot with it.  There are some articles on I-R on the felineleukemia.org website, and you can order from Revival Animal Health without a prescription for about $30 for a vial that will last at least 10 doses.  Soome people give it at home subcutaneously, but it is supposed to work better given IV at a vet's office. Though you may need a different vet.
 
There are numerous people on this list whose FeLV+ cats battled recurrent upper respiratory infections for a long time and then they went away when they started I-R, lysine, or the combination.

spots came back all over her body. Took her back to the vet for a blood test -- results came in this am: Anemic, Platelet

down, Weak positive felv, re-rest Antigen 3 to 4 weeks. Vet recommends euthanasia if she re-tests positive as she can't keep getting viruses and the low blood platelet count and hemotomas are not good. Does anyone have any similar experiences, ways to boost the immune system, anything? She is so young and such a sweetheart.
