One of the 3 kittens I recently rescued tested positive for FeLV on the snap test. Although we're going to run the advanced test in about a month, Kaya gets sick very easily and loses several ounces when she does. Kaya is almost 5 months old now, 3 lbs 2 oz, and we've had her for nearly 2 months.

Lorrie, I have an FeLV positive kitten also who is about 3 to 4 months old and only 3.8 pounds also. She developed a sore on her mouth that slowed her down considerably and I thought I was going to lose her. My vet was waiting on this new FDA medicine she had heard about and ordered for me.

Hi Gloria, Just an FYI, Nutrived is better than Pet Tinic, it has the folic acid needed in blood building and Pet Tinic doesn't. Vit B, Iron and Folic acid are needed to biuld blood. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://bemikitties.com http://BelindaSauro.com

Has the vet put her on Doxoxycline, hemobartonella is a very common cause of anemia and positives get it frequently. Doxy will help get rid of it and if she doesn't have it won't hurt her but if she does, she will die if it isn't treated and the doxy may just save her life. Has she even

I use PetTinic as a supplement. That's what I used with my last anemic cat, who was also on doxycycline. I think you have to be careful with iron supplements, use as directed by the vet. Best of luck with your 8 mo old baby! Gloria On Dec 17, 2008, at 6:32 AM, Lorrie wrote: One of
