Actually, I'm lucky I guess. Have a very laid back vet who doesn't panic.
Tucson has had a couple of episodes of very low white blood cell count vet
gave her a series of immuno-regulin and that seemed to perk her up. Biggest
problem with her is that she's overweight at 18 lbs. I try hard to watch
how much she eats but with 5 cats, its tough cause she's real good at
sneaking around and stealing out of the other's dishes! But I figure better
that she's got some extra weight in case something does come up. My Romeo
is a stray I fed for a couple of years before I brought him in. He freaks
at vet so I keep visits to an absolute minimum. He's just developed gum
infection that vet says is stomatitis. But vet thinks we caught it real
early (no ulcers) and put him on Baytril so keeping my fingers crossed.
He's eating OK though I've kept it to wet food cause I can tell his mouth is
sore.
When I first got diagnosis, I used to run to vet every two minutes! Now,
I've sort of learned what each of their 'key' signs are-for Tucson, going a
day without eating much is a dead giveaway that something's not right. She
also mopes around when she doesn't feel well so you know instantly! For
Romeo, its tougher cause he is not a complainer it was his terrible foul
breath seeing him struggle to eat his dry food that made me take him in.

One of mine diagnosed at age 4 or so and that was 4 years ago. She's a big
18 lbs and going strong! My other positive his around the same age and
diagnosed when I brought him in (he was a stray) though he's had some gum
problems, he's going strong as well 4 years later!

Ok, guys, since I'm feeling particularly sad tonight about my babies, let me
ask this...
How long have you all known of a cat surviving after FeLV+ diagnosis?
I know the standard is, according to almost everyone, 2-3 years after
diagnosis, but I'm sure some of you all have had experiences with cats
living longer?
Just curious what everyone's experiences have been.
