One of my babies, Monty, was diagnosed at 9 months old. He was incredibly ill
and the vet didn’t think he would make it and wanted me to put him to sleep as
well. I wasn’t ready to give up, so I went to another vet. 3 years 3 months
later, Monty is still with me and have never been sick
How adorable!!

Early Sunday morning, one of my fur-babies passed away from a heart

Sometimes it is hard to completely diagnose what is going on with a cat with
leukemia. There are so many factors to consider. Not to mention, sometimes
the symptoms may point to too many things instead of narrowing it down. I
recently lost one of my cats to a tumor in the eye and nasal cavity.
Another thing to think about, is that if you switch vets now, the new vet
will want to run all the same tests over again.

Just be careful with the peroxide, it can actually prevent proper healing if
used to much. Weird but true. I was doing that with Momma's back as well
until I talked to the vet about it. I did notice that it worked great when
I first started using it, but eventually the spot stopped healing.
My Momma cat has this problem as well only it is much bigger than a quarter.
We tried the shot and many other things, but the main problem we have is
that when it is healing, it itches and she scratches. We have resorted to
putting antibiotic cream on the spot with a piece of gauze covering the

You have to be careful with vaccinating because there are cases where that has
caused a cat to become positive. That was another thing the vet talked to me
about. She feels that as long as they are indoors, it is not required to
vaccinate as the vaccaine is not 100% guaranteed.

I've been told that you cannot share things like this with your pets.
I don't know if I believe it. There have been times when one of my cats
became sick not long after me. The vet swears that you cannot share
between other species (cat to human, cat to dog, etc).
