Re: [Felvtalk] Ruthie

Hi Christine,                   I'm sorry to hear about Ruthie but I hope she is feeling better soon. I think FeLV cats are more susceptible to many things, just because they are immune compromised. That doesn't mean they can't recover from many things, as well. Since she was doing well, I would just try to think of her as being sick, and keep a positive outlook.                    My boys have done well through several issues, and they're still here :)                    Is Ruthie getting anything for her FeLV? Hoping for good news...
