I am thinking of you and BooBoo. I know how stressful this is for the
both of you.
He is on his own path and is so lucky to know what caring and love
feels like.
Take care of yourself.

I've had to stop the Doxycycline because it is too stressful for him.
Perhaps we can restart it next week if he's better or if the
culture comes
back suggesting another antibiotic I'll try that. Our vet is a

anything unless we tell him what to do. He's concerned I suppose
about the
expense of all this treatment and the inevitable results.
Good luck with the Holistic vet. Around here this disease seems like
something that has not interested a lot of vets and they just
euthanize,
which is shameful. Also, a lot of vets seem to be more interested
in dogs
than cats, probably because there are so many feral cats around and
they are
causing problems.

Hi, All -
First off, Lynn, I am so glad to hear Boo Boo is doing better. I
had a
cat who had fluid removed and she did not do anywhere near so well
afterwards. Don't give up on that little fighter any time soon!
I am thinking about taking Buzz to a Holistic Vet. When I
questioned my
regular vet about Immuno-Regulin and Interferon she said she had
not heard
of much success with those things and said I might want to consider a
Holistic Vet. I e-mailed one and asked if they could do anything
for a
FeLV+ cat that would be peventative and might help them throw the
virus. It
is quite a distance from my home and I don't want to put Buzz
through the
stress of the trip if it won't do him any good.
Sue
