Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do for him diet or medication wise to decrease the swelling? He also has a licking issue. He will lick everything. But when I had a bloodwork check on him the vet said it looked good. That he was just slightly anemic but very good for a FeLv cat. I feed him wet food in the morning and add Lysine powder and Missing Link to it. Any other recommendations? I would really appreciate any advice. He is eating well and maintaining his weight but I want to stay as far ahead of the disease as I can. I do some rescue work out of my house and lost a very young kitten to FeLv already. Squiggy was rescued from a chemical plant but was such a standout sweet kitten that I couldn't bring myself to give him up.

Re: [Felvtalk] Diet recommendations
Consider a holistic vet. EA Boswell in Louisville saw Dixie a lot and I am very sure she improved my wonderful girl's quality of life. She certainly lived longer and happier than anyone dared hope for. On Jan 16, 2011, at 7:09 PM, Heather Clark wrote: Thank you both for the advice! I bought him some Blue Buffalo.
