Jennifer, if you've been reading the archives then you will know that I have suggested the use of Doxycycline + Winstrol (Stanazolol) + Prednisone. I don’t see that this has been tried by your vet, but it is the only thing I have found to work, and it works with other conditions as well.
I would certainly be looking at adding Doxycycline, in any event, since the likelihood is that you are dealing with something other than a run-of-the-mill bacterial infection, and Doxycycline has effectiveness against a very broad spectrum of organisms other than bacteria.

Several months ago, we learned our new kitten was FELV positive; however, by that time three other cats had been infected. Since Feb., we have lost two cats and the third is not doing well. I have been reading the mail archives and have shared info with my vet, but I am now at a loss about what net steps to take. At the beginning of March, Abram started to act differently - not interested in food (which is unusual), lethargic, and skittish. We took him to the vet and discovered he also had a fever. The vet gave him an injection of Convenia and put him on Onsior. He did start eating again, but remained lethargic and skittish. We took him back to the vet last week for blood work, which all came back fine. He also still had a fever so he went back on Onsior. I should also mention that we started him on Interferon in mid-March and just started his second 7-day treatment. His symptoms remain - lethargic, skittish, and feeling slightly feverish. I called the vet today and the only thing they can think to do is another injection of Convenia and round of Onsior. The vet said that most likely this all relates to FELV and ultimately there’s not much to be done. Of course, I don’t want to believe that. Has any one else had a FELV cat with persistent fever? Can T-CYTE be used in conjunction with Interferon? Any ideas? We just can’t bear to lose another one of our loves to this. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
