Re: [Felvtalk] 7 month kitten
When my cat got sick with leukemia the first time around, they prescribed Interferon. This did wonders for him. He was 3 when diagnosed, and I just had to put him to sleep 3 years later. We were very fortunate that we had 3 more years with him although it's still very hard not having him around. I also found that giving him baby food and Pedialyte helped tremendously. Since he wasn't drinking or eating, this helped him fight it.

She has a slight fever and a distended tummy. They're keeping her overnight and putting her on an IV and antibiotic. What is the best food for a positive kitten and what supplements seem to work? Our regular vet is willing to listen to whatever we learn. Any recommendations or comments are welcome.

It will vary from person to person. I am so glad you took Macy into your home. Lessening stress is important. Feeding a high quality diet the best you can afford. I say that bc the best that I could afford was different from what other folks feed. Immune boosters are a start. Since many of these cats also have FHV L Lysine is a good start and may alleviate her upper respiratory symptoms. At any rate it will not do any harm and is inexpensive. I got mine from Puritans Pride. I ordered capsules 500mg. You can mix it with wet food. One or two per day depending on symptoms. Well I have to run to work. You will get more information I am sure.

I guess I am fortunate to have had Mickey for 8 years. They are removing the growth today and will biopsy it. I will post an update when I hear something.
