I am responding only because this was just posted. Will let others respond to symptoms. I suspect the stress of the move could contribute now, too. Want to urge you, and I suspect you are already, to be very careful when going between him and your other cats as he is symptomatic. I would wash hands after handling your others and after handling him. He will be very susceptible, too, to anything they could be carrying. I would even wear certain clothes and socks when in his room with him and make sure no contact can occur under the door. As you already plan, I would get him to vet asap...tomorrow if possible. Is there an internal medicine specialist in your area? I assume you are giving him all the food he wants.. Bless you and bless his brave little self. Laurie

Worried. I picked up the new FeLV+ kitty today and I am very worried about him. He is supposed to be close to two years old but he is the size of a kitten no older then 6 months. I can feel his bones as if he has been on the street starving. His eyes are a little gunky and his nose seems to be running. He eats like he has been starving and he drank an amazing amount of water. He just seems sickly. I am keeping him separated from my other cats just in case, and he will go to my vet as soon as I can get him an appointment. The other animals at this rescue seem very healthy, but I can't imagine why he is the way he is. Does anyone have any ideas? Could this be just another thing that happens to positive kitties? _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
