Re: [Felvtalk] My heart is broken
Marinda, I know how you feel because I have several FelV cats in my sanctuary. I am amazed at how long most of them have lived. Some have shown no symptoms at all but others have died in a year of two. FelV is not always a death sentence. Many cats throw off the virus, others keep it in remission for years with no symptoms, and others are not so lucky. Give your ginger kitty good food, no stress, and lots of love, and if she should show signs of illness get her to the vet right away. Many FelV related illnesses can be treated. Please keep us posted on her.

And even if they don't, they can live a marvelous loving life. My Dixie did. Her life was far too short but she was happy and healthy until she left this world.

Re: [Felvtalk] My heart is broken
Is she showing any symptoms? It has ben a while since I had a FELV kitty. For now feed her the best you can. Treat any infections she may get as her immune system may not fight them off. Others here may advise treatment. Sally Feb 5, 2012 at 5:16 PM, botha.marin...@gmail.com wrote: My darling ginger cat has been diagnosed with feline leukemia.

Re: [Felvtalk] My heart is broken
Marinda, we all understand how devastated you are. I've lost 10 FeLV + kitties. All I can recommend is to feed the best food you can, give lots of love, watch for other illnesses and treat them immediately. There is no cure. Many including myself have tried various supplements. I can't say they helped.
