So, my one cat Merlot is clearly lonely. He is used to being second in command to our cat Yang who passed away. I work with a cat rescue, and the cats there all live communally until they are adopted (with a quarantine area for cats on meds/who are really sick). She thinks that there isn't much

I wish I had an answer for you. Would your vet be willing to log onto Vetinfo to see what other vets are recommending for FeLV cats? I seem to recall that Ember’s vet recommended that she be vaccinated, but we never did that. Despite her low white count, she never picked anything up at the

Hi Susan, It's not a supplement, but I think I posted a link a while back about the use of Virbagen Omega in FeLV+ cats with stomatitis: http://www.dentistvet.com/docs/Gingivostomatitis-Veterinary-InfoApr2012.pdf I haven't tried it yet, but may consider after Harley's next checkup. Last
