[Felvtalk] Re Sick FelV kitten

[Lorrie]

Thanks to all who replied to my e-mail about our FelV positive
kitten.  I appreciate your help, and we are hoping some of the
treatments you suggested will give her a bit more time.

 One of our FelV kittens is very anemic.  Has anyone ever tried iron
 suppliments?  We went back to the vet yesterday, and got her vitamins
 and iron, and hope this will buy her a bit more time.
 
 She is 8 months old and only weighs 3 1/2 pounds.  She didn't
 actually lose the weight, she just never gained anymore weight
 than that, as she is also a small cat.
 
 She recently lost control of her back legs and the vet isn't sure
 this is caused by the FelV.  He thinks it may be a neurological
 thing.. This happened suddenly about a week ago. First she was
 wobbly and then she got so she couldn't stand at all, and also lost
 control of her bladder and bowels.  She is still eating and does not
 seem to be in any pain.  

 Thanks,  Lorrie

[Felvtalk] General didn't eat breakfast

[Southernes]

Do I need to be worried?  He seemed fine this morning, but he didn't eat.  
He's spent the day in the living room, but not curled on the heat vent like he 
has done in the past.  When he's been feeling bad before he curls up on the 
heat vent.  He's not been very social today but he isn't doing that.  

How do I tell if he's really in pain? Or sick?   Remember I've never had a 
cat before.  His vet thinks that he may have had a touch of pancreatitis over 
the last couple of weeks.   Dogs I know.  Cats are a mystery.  

Sidney and the General
