I would definitely start her on immuno-regulin and sub-cutaneous fluids
(your vet can show you how). People have had success with acemanan as well.
The
one thing is that sometimes positive cats get things like lymphoma (which
would
need chemo and/or steroids) or FIP (not curable but symptoms can be eased
for a while with steroids) and other causes for anemia. You might want to
take
her to an internist at a bigger veterinary hospital, vet school, or
veterinary referral service for a better diagnosis of what is wrong. FeLV
just makes
them susceptible to things that make them sick, because it weakens their
immune system like HIV, but it does not in itself cause the symptoms-- you
need to
find out what is doing that.

My 9 month old kitten (Mylo) was recently diagnosed with Feline Leukemia.
I
was devastated. The vet said he seems severe and doesn't have much longer.
His symptoms are diahrea (for weeks now), pale nose/gums (anemia),
dehydrated, low energy, doesn't play anymore, and he's very skinny. I hear
there is no treatment for this disease but a part of me doesn't want to
believe that. I have been researching on the internet and have found a
couple drugs one called ImmunoRegulin and the other called Interferon.
Does
anyone know anything about these? or anything that I can do to help my
kitten get better? Thank you.
