Cherie,
Once you find a vet you can trust, you'll have a better idea about
whether it's necessary to take the chance on stressing her with an
operation. My babies were spayed before we knew they had FeLV, and
they fared just fine. I don't know if you believe in AC, but if it
were me, I'd talk to an animal communicator to find out how much
discomfort Amber is truly in.

Nina,
Thank you, I think that sounds wise, her
breathing is just loud, she is not in pain or uncomfortable. She also
has a hernia that seems to be getting a little bigger, but it does not
seem to be hurting, she has had it for a year, my question would be to
put her under might trigger a attack of the FeLV in her system, from
stress.

Cherie,
I have several vets that I use. Of the three I use the most, one is a
sort of "GP"; another practice has 2 very expensive, but knowledgeable,
internists; and I just found this wonderful East/West vet that is
helping me with some alternative options. If you think there is a
problem, and it sounds like there might be, I'd seek out another
opinion. From what you say about Amber's symptoms when she came to
you, it sounds like there may be an existing condition that needs to be
diagnosed/treated. I'm sure your current vet is right when they say
"it is just an effect of the feluke", that's what this disease does, it
damages their immune response so they get sick! What we need to do is
be very aggressive with treatments and catch things early. What I
would do, is ask around in your area for references to miracle-worker
vets, call and ask if they've had experience with treating FeLV, and
take her in.

Nina,
I have had major problems with the
FeLV list, but Terrie is helping me god bless her. My vet has looked at
her lungs and say that there is no upper respitory infection it is just
an effect of the feluke, which I am not sure I buy right now, since we
are not really sure what Snowball passed from. When I first got Amber
she sneezed alot and could not swallow very well, and when she sneezed
brown liquid came out, but that has not been for quite awhile now.
Maybe I am just being paranoid again, I just hope she lives to be a
ripe old age of 24, that would make me very happy....I know wishfull
thinking, we can always hope.
