Hi,
I am sorry about Emma. As someone else mentioned the important thing is to find
a good oncologist. It is possible that Emma does not have FeLV and that the
test was a false positive. Does she have any symptoms of FeLV? My cat (FeLV
negative) was diagnosed with Lymphoma about 5 years ago. Sh
If the cancer had already spread and the leg had been removed, the
outcome may very well have been the same, there are just some kitties
that chemo just doesn't seem to work for.
My Mikie (FeLV+) way back in 1994 had kidney cancer, we did chemo and he
responded instantly, I kid you not, he got
Right and that wasn't an issue with me really. I had told my mom that I would
practically do anything to have a machine that kept Monkee alive- a Monkee head
on top of a machine! That is what I said-- I know, morbid, but we always joke
in bad times. So, a 3 legged Monkee- well, both he and I
Caroline,
I'm really sorry that Monkee had such a difficult time, I also
believe we are all here for a given time and once it is our time to go,
we go.
It is my understanding anytime there is a tumor on a limb, the limb
should be amputated, this in almost all cases along with chemo and
Couple of points I disagree with:
> When the vet suggests chemo for this cancer, you have to know that they are
> reccommending this as a life-prolonging treatment that will at best, prolong
> the cat's life by only a few months.
This is not true in more cases than not, even with FeLV+ cats,

Caroline, I've been considering asking the same question regarding a dear,
sweet rescue kitty of ours, and want you to know how helpful your detailed
reponse was.
I remember reading about Monkee...thank you for all of the love you gave
him.

2 of 2 from me:
I always said that, with what I learned in hindsight, if I had the opportunity
to do it differently, I would. At the time, I was not educated enough on the
disease to make a truly informed decision about the chemo and I was frantic and
not thinking clearly. AND I was obsessed
my response is too long- so I split in two- didn't want Adrienne to have to
wait on moderator approval. Sorry. 1st of 2 responses from me.

oh you do? powdered lysine? okay, I will have them do that. That seems easy
enough! God, I am so excited and also so nervous and yet, so happy for Manny!
I'm going to miss him. He's my most gorgeous boy and the most friendly in the
house, so now I will have no male-model cat to "show off"
Hi, Adrienne. I'm sorry Emma is ill. There are lots of people on this list
who will give you some really good pointers.
I don't have any personal experience with chemo for FeLV+ cats; by the time my
Patches turned up on my doorstep and was diagnosed, it was really too late to
consider chemo
Hi Caroline,
I put the lysine in the water. I don't know if it will work in dry food or
not.

My felv+ foster Manny is going to his new home tonight (with lots of
instructions, favorite toys, and probably some lingering anxiety from me!).
Manny has been a finnicky canned food eater ever since I've had him- which has
sucked b/c that is how I like to get supplements in him like lysine an
Hello. My beloved Emma is 5 ½ years old. Two years ago she was diagnosed
as being FeLV+.
I dont know how this happened. I raised Emma and her sisters from the time
they were about two days old.
Her sisters are negative, as are my other cats, despite the fact that they
have all lived together
Hi Sharyl
That is how I am treating it. She is a weird cat anyway. She did this once
before when she was in heat. Waiting for her spay appt. I really think she
was letting me know she did not like me letting Little Black in the house. I
have to feed LB in the house becuase the raccoons will eat he

would guess if she urinates inappropriately again a vet visit would be in order.

Last night, rather early this morning my cat Daisy jumped up on my bed and
woke me up with her attack play. She does this sometimes when she wants out.
Well I let her out and got back in bed. Now Spike was using the litter box
