Please think twice before isolating her. I have 2 positives and they have the run of the house just as my negatives do. My vet said that as long as the others have been vaccinated for FELV, it is okay. We have been a mixed family since 2008 and no problems. Maryam Ulomi wrote: > Hello

Don, It is amazing that Oliver has lived to be 15 with a FelV+ status. Most of my FelV+ cats either die of anemia or they lose the use of their back legs due to tumors on the spine. If Oliver has made it this long I'd just keep him happy and and give him plenty of TLC. 15 is about the end of life

I agree, he has had a long and happy life with you. God has blessed you and Oliver. My Shadow passed at 18 with tumors on his spine, but he had lived a long life and enjoyed basking in the sun on the deck. Keep him comfortable . Lorrie wrote: > Don, It is amazing that Oliver has lived

His BUN and Crea are normal. His HCT has dropped from about 30% to 28% since July. Otherwise everything else is normal. On Sun, Sep 9, 2012 at 1:29 PM, GRAS wrote: > How are Oliver's kidney values? > > > -Original Message- > From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org > [mailto:felvtalk-

His thyroid is normal as well (the vet did check it in July as he noted an slightly enlarged thyroid). I don't recall mentioning tapazole. He got a shot of Covina and a steroid at the vet but that is all he is "on". Thanks. On Sun, Sep 9, 2012 at 5:20 PM, Natalie wrote: > What about thyroid?
