Oh crap. I remember how I felt a few months back when I found out that Bridget was positive - her brother Chutney suddenly crashed and died (he, too, was anemic) not even 5 weeks after testing negative on the snap test. I had both with my cats, and while I suspect they had contracted the virus before coming to my house, who knows? Maybe I have another healthy cat who's actually positive...I always think I should retest everybody to be on the safe side but in a way I don't want to know....they're already together, already exposed to whatever the others might have. Charlotte, who passed away nearly a year ago, had tested negative when I adopted her but started having symptoms a year later. Again, did she have a latent infection or did she contract it here? I'll never know.

So by making the decision to mix I have condemned him. He is anemic and he is going on Doxycyclne and Prednosolone. Has anyone ever heard of a cat that has anemia living longer then a few months? _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
