I have considered doing just that. I don;t have any syringes what ones do you use and where do you get them. I think I read somewhere that you are more likely to get a site reaction on subcutaneus injections. I would think since they have already gooten the injections IV this would be less likely to happen.
I am thinking the thisk ears may be hematomas. He does not have any symptoms that his ears bother him. He doesn;t scratch and there are no apparents mites. It might be an ear infection. I do have trasaderm from an earlier infection B4 the Felv diagnosis. I may start using it to see if it helps. Only thing is it adds one more torture to his routine. How can you not stress a cat and treat him too? I did get a pill crusher for his lysine tablets. Eric did not like me using a hammer. I was fine with that. The other thing with the ears are they always seem bright red. Is that a symptom I need to be worried about? Thanks for all the information.

I have started giving my positives I-R subcutaneously to deal with URI's. I started this a few days ago when they both started showing symptoms. It seems to help. I was nervous about it at first, but a couple people on this list give it sub-q at home, and my vet said that if it can be given IV then it won't hurt to give it sub-q, it just might not be as effective. So far it seems to be working, knock on wood. If he hasn't gotten it for a while and he is in fact running a fever, you might want to put him back on it for a bit.

I don't think he is due back for a couple months. He has been through the protocol. So had Tiny. Tiny never had any visible symptoms of FeLV. (He tested a weak positive.) That is why his death was so unexpected. I think he died of some unrelated problem. He may have had all his life but was nver diagnosed. Maybe a reason for me to feel guilt over his death. I even asked the vet who saw him last summer about his cough and could it be this or that. At the time he had a BAD URI so that was the concern. Of course two months later I am dealing with the death of another cat and 3 cats Felv positive. It was not a good year. I would like to give Junior some quality time. thanks Sally
