update on this kitty: he's walking on his own now, the ER specialty clinic he was sent to says that the thickening of the intestinal walls may or may be not be anything, his hematocrit is back up with NO transfusion, he has none of the gait deficits the first vet said he did, and NOTHING looks as if it's secondary to FeLV....
so, since he's not critical, he's back to the original vet to be boarded til we find a foster home for him to hang out on antibiotics and pain meds, and retesting! spoke with both vets, and the level of misinformation about FeLV was very saddening. the ER folk, however, wanted to see the AAFP Management Guidelines, and were really interested in learning that there's a whole batch of people and organizations that work with cats with multiple disabling conditions! sigh. thanks for the good thoughts.
