Hi!I am new here:)I have absolutely no experience with FeLV but my rescue group
does,but this last cat has us all confused.I picked up a small boy last
wednesday,about a year old, extremely emaciated,1.5kg, 39.7 degrees Celsius
temperature,severe nasal and occular discharge ,difficulty swollowing.As it was
evening, he got the basic atb's, Baytril and Gentamicine and we went home.This
is were the real trouble stared as he wouldn't eat.I situated him in another
building in the yard,as I have 8 cats,all of them rescues. Next morning we
hurried to the vet,and after doing the test,he was FeLV positive.He stayed for
an IV,and in the afternoon I picked him up.He also got uniflox
eyedrops,something for his ear parasites,and I clean his nose,and that is it.He
was too weak for deworming or anything else.He started eating that same
afternoon,gotten a lot better but due to a nose discharge,the vet changed his
atb yesterday to amoxycillin and gentamicin...and it was fine untill this
morning.We went to the vet,he got his shots and as soon as I put him back in
the transporter to go home,he had a seizure.My heart stopped as I thought he
was having an anaphylactic shock.But he came back in seconds,and I left him so
he can get therapy and IV fluids.Came back on the afternoon,we made
arrangements we would just go back on Baytril the next morning.Started walking
to m car,he started a series of sneezes,unable to stop,and there it was again,a
really short .I rushed him back in, but by the time he was on the table,he was
fine.The vet gave him glucocorticoids(I know they are bad)in case of a
continuous allergy reaction.I really don't know what is wrong.He started
getting better,even gained 0.2kg in a few days and now this.I did not want to
leave him there as he is uncomfortable and no one works there at night.We got
home,he was incredibly hungry and wanted to eat a lot,also we cuddled and I
left him.Usually,since the moment I picked him up,he would usually go to sleep
but now he just sits,like he is waiting for me.I want him to rest and to
sleep.I am so afraid of tomorrow morning an his shots.I really don't know if
this was stress or a real reaction to drugs,or epilepsy or something else.Also
a bit worried because of glucocorticoids.Any insight would be helpful and truly
appreciated.Sorry for the long post.
