This was just what I needed today. My beloved Buddy, a felv+ Maine Coon
whom I adopted nearly 6 years ago, died this morning. He was about 9 years
old, maybe more. He had been abandoned at a shelter as a young cat and I
adopted him to be a companion to my other positive cat. I am grateful

Wendy,
You are not alone. It took two weeks for my Bubba to die from felv and
watching him slip away inch by inch was agonizing. When I think of him, I
have to force myself not to dwell on the experience or else I will break
down all over again.

Having just lost my Mikey, my heart goes out to you.
My vet mentioned that one of the things that can happen with our positive

for the cat to eat.
Has your vet looked into this possibility?

Dear Everybody,
This is to let you know that Mikey has joined his brothers in cat heaven. He
did not respond to Monday's treatments, so the vet gave him a substantial
amount of fluid yesterday evening, which revived him and I became hopeful that
the dehydration was his only problem. However,
Yes, the vet checked for anemia. Mikey's OK on that score.
