My advice to you right now is don't give up on her. She has survived
with felv for four years. Most cats that can do that have a greater chance
of making it.
Did you vet check for hemobartonella? Did they find the source of the
infection - pneumonia, bacteremia, URI, UTI, etc?
Is she on
I have never dealt with this problem before, but she is getting good food and
vet care. Will she let you hold her? Even when my guys are sick/especially
so, they like to be held close, petted and talked to softly. It seems to
comfort them, make them feel secure. I do think this helps in
As long as she is still eating, that's a good sign. Has the vet given her
Convenia? That's a long-acting antibiotic that seems to keep the level of
infection down until the cat's own immune system can cope. You might try a pet
vitamin with iron for the anemia. I use Nutrived. It has
eat so I am glad to
hear that she is still eating.

tested positive for the virus shortly after.
