My 3 year old Kong was diagnosed with FeLV and nonregenerative anemia 6 months ago. The vet told me he had about 3 weeks to live and sent him home with me to presumably die. Needless to say, he didn't die, and today seems as happy and healthy as he was before he was diagnosed! Don't give

Might it be a false positive?  Will you confirm it with the IFA?   Obviously, this is terribly difficult and emotional, and I am so sorry you are dealing with this.  Your intent was always to provide a loving home for all your babies, and that you have and will.  I've heard of kitties having

Oh crap. I remember how I felt a few months back when I found out that Bridget was positive - her brother Chutney suddenly crashed and died (he, too, was anemic) not even 5 weeks after testing negative on the snap test. I had both with my cats, and while I suspect they had contracted the virus

I'm so sorry to hear this. I've always mixed mine with no transmission. But that was a personal choice. I know some people on this list have successfully treated anemia. It depends on what is the underlying cause. They give Doxy in the hopes it is Hemobart. I hope for the best for you and

So sorry to hear about Casper. I have one cat with leukemia that became anemic in September of last year. He is still holding his own. He does have non-regenerative anemia so I asked how it is that his HCT isn't dropping if he's not making more red blood cells. I guess the spleen and
