If I would have known this would have happened I would have let him run wild and not get him fixed, I have guilt over that.... It is possible that might be the cause..but not from the stress..he could have gotten an infection!!   Did you notice anything unusual around that area..or did it seem to be heling nicely?  Have you thought of having an autopsy done on him?  If his parents were clean..is FeLV-..and you are 100% sure of it...and he has not been exposed to any other cats...I dont see how he could have gotten it...it has to come from DIRECT fluid contact of an infected cat....you said you have other cats..have they all been tested recently?  How recent were the parent cats tested?    Lisa and fur-brats Akira--FeLV miracle baby www.geocities.com/anzajaguar Indy-- Truley Indian Jones as a cat..FEARLESS Lance- Mini wire haired dashchund Bow-Tie- 2yr old (ssshhhh he doesnt know he is 15 :) ) jack russel cross Bennie Bird-- Vampire cockatiel Anza-- sexist Senegal parrot..deffinantly a ladies bird :)
