Hi Karen,
I'm so sorry about Mr Spock. I just wanted you to know my Bailey
whom I just lost this May 6th to pancreatic cancer was FeLV+ when I
found him in October of 1995. He was 5 months old when I found him and
positive, he had just turned 11 years old when I lost him this May.
There are a few others on the list who are getting older and doing fine.
The three I lost in the early 90's were 5, 7 and 9 when they succumbed
to cancer and anemia, not sure when they each were infected, but I
suspect my 9 year old was born with it he was sickly all his life.
PS. Bailey had up to as many as 8 house mates at one time, all negative
and all vaccinated in his 11 years, all living, eating, playing,
grooming and on occasion having minor spats with each other, nobody ever
got it from him.
*OT:* My Fred is going in for his 3 month blood work check, he is my
CRF guy. He has recently been losing weight and I can't entice him to
eat good, it's been a struggle to keep him around 9 lbs, he has now
dropped to 8lbs 13.5oz and is starting to look bony. I'm thinking of
putting a feeding tube in, I don't want to wait until he is too weak and
I'm in kind of a bind because my vet won't be there anymore and wouldn't
be able to do the surgery at a later date. She is going to be doing
house calls but won't be working at a clinic. Prayers that if he does
get a feeding tube his surgery will go OK, thanks everyone.
