Oh no! I wouldn't PTS! I meant when the disease takes hold they pass in a couple of days. IF she was positive still I wouldn't prolong her life for my sake. I'd know it was time to let go after living a happy, loved, cared for, life. However, long it would be. I'm talking about interferon, and other medically induced procedures to keep her going at the end stages which some choose to do. I don't judge. It wasn't going to be my choice.
I'm so sorry that you are hurting about this. I think they live free for who knows how much time happily. You love them and that's all any of our babies need. The time you have is all good then :) -----Original Message----- From: dlgegg <[email protected]> To: felvtalk <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Mar 15, 2014 12:17 am Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] 2 new felv kitties Don't euthanize! I had 2 positives. One died from complications early on in her life: raccoon bit her tail off, never did get past 6 lbs, but very healthy until last month of her life. She developed a uri and in a positive that or any infection is not good. The other one is still going at 8 years, healthy as can be. Who k nows, yours may live a long life also. My positive and negatives have always been mixed as long as the negatives are up to date on vaccinations. ---- Kelley <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Ugh...we have 2 my stepdaughter brought in recently.

The low cost spay neuter clinic recommended immediate euthanization. Didn't even mention the ifa - I had to insist on it. Unfortunately it turned out pos as well.
