Hello Susan, BB was a stray when we came to us so I don't know his exact age, but the vet seems to think he's anywhere between 4-5 years of age.? I've had him for two years and I wish with all my heart that we could have had him as a kitten...we would have given him his proper vaccinations.? I'm so glad to be here with others who love their kitties!? Sometimes people don't understand...but my BB is a member of the family and so I hurt when he hurts.? Now that this has happened, I'm one of the first to tell people....don't let your cats roam around outside, keep them safe and get their vaccinations!!

How old is Jaci? I am learning about feline leukemia so I can't respond to any of your questions.

I was wondering if any of you knew what stage of the disease tumors in the bone marrow were?? My sweet BB is on prednisone, although I don't think the dosage is enough because he's still lethargic and weak.? The?cancer in the bone marrow is making him anemic.? Is there anything you guys can tell me about what I can do for him?? I hate to see him this way...I love him so much.? And to be honest, I'm scared that I don't have much time left with him because his appetite is poor..he'll nibble on food but doesn't drink much water.? The Vet seems to think that BB contracted the virus as a kitten and it's been dormant until now.? I'm so sorry to hear of all the other kitties that have died from this terrible illness. Thank you, Jaci -----Original Message----- From: Kerry MacKenzie <kerrymacken...@ymail.com> To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sat, 6 Jun 2009 10:41 pm Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Cherry Please add to the CLS :( It's heartbreaking Sherry--I'm so sorry to hear about Cherry.
