It is unfortunate that this kitten tested positive, there is high probability that she is not really positive as the test at that age is reading the antibodies from her mother's milk and she will have an excellent chance of testing negative when she is about 6 months old. It takes that long

I am rather new to FeLV but Cornell University has good sites for information on this illness. If the anemia is from FeLV it has to be in the bone marrow which according to what I have read, means the FeLV has been with the cat for a long time. Our vet has our Stinky cat on Interferon and

I assume they did the combined FIV/FeLV test, right? If they tested positive for both, the FIV test is pretty much worthless - way too young for a true positive - and they may shed the FeLV in a few months.Just about everyone suggests lysine but I haven't heard anything about giving it to

It does not have to be either FeLV or cancer-- it can be both, as FeLV makes them more susceptible to lymphoma. In fact, FeLV itself does not cause symptoms- it is a virus that causes an immune-deficiency and makes them susceptible to other things that cause symptoms. If Stinky is FeLV+,

When they are not producing RBC's, Epogen or Procrit sometimes helps. This is because failure to produce RBC's sometimes comes from the kidneys not sending a hormone they are supposed to send out that tells the bone marrow to produce RBC's. Procrit and Epogen are synthetic copies of that
