Hello This is my first post. 5 of 7 of my inner circle tested positive for feline leukemia using the more reliable test (per the vet). She advised 1 ml of acylovir twice a week plus 1 ml Hy-Vite drops twice a week. The following caught my attention: I know that they put cats on

Diane, eating litter is a classic sign of anemia. Here is the link to a Yahoo Anemia group. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Feline_Anemia/ Anemia is common with FeLV+ kitties. Your client could try adding some Super B Complex, B12 and folic acid to the kitty's food. Sharyl --- On Sat,

The cat is eating litter because it's anemic. A cat I rescued used to eat litter too. He would also lick the ground a lot. Then one day he just stopped eating and wouldn't move. I took him to the vet and found out that he was severely anemic and felv+. --- On Sat, 4/17/10, Diane

Is it true that the felv vaccine can cause a cat to turn positive in the future? I heard this from a friend and it shocked me because another friend has a healthy cat who received her felv vaccine and booster last year. All her pets are indoor and outdoor animals. She has 1 cat and two dogs.
