Hi everyone
Miles, a 6 year-old cat positive for FIV and FeLV, is in a very poor condition
and has now been admited to the vet hospital. He was not eating, he vomited and
is dehidrated. Miles was a stray cat I took in 2,5 years ago. He stayed with me
until December '08 when he was adopted by
I live in Central New Jersey and I have a cat that showed up on my doorstep
about 10 months ago. He is so super friendly that my husband and I decided
that we wanted to take him in as one of our own. We took him to the vet about
3 weeks ago and he tested positive for Leukemia. We were
I forgot to mention that Miles' temperature was 38.8 C yesterday and 36.9 C
today.

P.S: and we are from Lisbon, Portugal :)

I'm so sorry about your kitty. He's so fortunate to have you both to
love and care for him. I have had double positives get in bad shape
like this, although I can't quote the blood parameters. They haven't
survived - once they get in bad shape it's hard to come out of it.
Doesn't mean
Well, that's so gratifying that you're trying to help this sweet
kitty. You might try Tabby's place in NJ - http://
www.tabbysplace.org/. Even if they can't take, they might have
suggestions. I'm sure there are other options from other members of
this group. Of course the vets are more
Not a FeLV+ cat but we had a cat in severe liver failure due to not eating
(a cat a friend adopted) and she survived. The vet did have to place an E
tube (feeding tube that goes in through the neck). Please check out the
yahoo group Feline assisted Feeding for great information. My best to you,
70% of adult cats can be exposed and throw off the virus, and the current
vaccines are over 90% effective--get your other cats vaccinated, and they
will be safe. there are NO cases of a true negative cat who is vaccinated
ever turning positive from living with a true positive. to make sure your
Most of the few cats I've experienced this with were not positives, it takes
very dedicated nursing care but some definitely can be saved! The one
felv+ young kitty a friend adopted from me, who developed hepatic lipidosis,
was very sick and did not make it.
I have not been the nurse with the
Thank you for this information.

Actually this reminds me--with Skittles we were also told it was a type of
hepatitis, and not HL. Since the vet tech was the one having all of the
direct conversations with the vet, I had mistaken that.

In PA you can try looking up the best little cat house in
Pennsylvania if you decide not to keep him. They take in FELV+ cats I believe.
Good luck to you.

Heather, I'm so sorry you lost Skittles. She sounds like a wonderful
little girl. I'm so sorry the people in charge of caring for her let her
down, that is so sad. Gentle Bridge vibes to her and hugs to you for caring
so much.

I really appreciate it, and you're right I should have posted about her
separately.
I found out Monday...I shouldn't blame, liver issues are so serious it could
be she just wasn't going to make it, but the fact that she was even running
around with my friend's other cats recently, really seemed
If he hasn't been eating a normal amount of food he may very well
have hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease, this can be fatal and the
cure is getting enough food into him, the vet should know this. You
have to immediately start getting food into this cat. The two weeks

PS. I missed the part about being anemic, get him started on
doxocycline and prednisolone also, this is common for FeLV+'s and he may
have hemobartonella which is extremely hard to test for. Most positives
are put on doxy and pred as a precaution if they become anemic. Anemia
is caused by
Ok, just read where Miles was diagnosed with
Cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis complex, found some info on it and
nutrition is part of the recovery/treatment process, what is the vet
doing for him as far as that goes?

Added condolences for Tippy, Bobbi and the little boy.
Regarding the boy getting hit, I can't see a reason to blame yourself. You
did consult with the owner, and she did choose to let her cats outside. I
don't think any pet cat belongs outside, frankly, but that's just me. My
