I adopted her from a cat shelter two months ago with many health issues (upper respiratory, diarrhea giardia, stomatits). I was told that she was FeLV negative and figured I could deal with all of the above because they were not life threatening and once I got her out of the shelter 'colony' and to our vets, that she would get well. She didn't. On Friday I took her to my homeopathic vet who insisted that she be tested "again" for FeLV, and the test came back positive and the second test result which I got on Saturday was also positive. Needless to say I am devastated. Both of the vets that I use are being supportive and hopeful. When I adopted a positive kitten 20 years ago I was told that she had to be put down because she would infect my other cat. This is not the case now. We have two Scotties and had recently lost a 19 year old cat, and a 21 year old the year before. This cat, MeMe, is an absolute love. My homeopath put her on a probiotic that she is excited about "FortiFlora", and liquid DMG as well as help in weaning her to Archetype food as she is addicted to Fancy Feast which my vet calls 'kitty crack'. I have been overwhelmed with the amount of information I am finding on the Web. Some of it seems very optimistic, some, bordering on fantasy. I joined this group hoping to share information with real people who are living and coping with this disease. I keep re-reading the Home page on this site which states that Feline Leukemia is not a death sentence. I would appreciate any information which could be helpful to MeMe. Thank you Jane
