Hi, my cat was the picture of health about two weeks ago. She’s 2 years
old, female, spayed, orange tabby. She would literally bounce off the walls
running around the house. She’s so wonderful ♥
Anyway, about two weeks ago, she started sleeping constantly, and one day
(9/17) I noticed her nose,
We use prednisolone. Our cats hematocrit was 9%. we did a blood transfusion. We
also used LTCI injections and Interferon. He now tests negative, although we
still battle with anemia.

Hi Anndrea,
Don't give up on her yet! The yellow is jaundice and does have to do with
liver - could be among other things fatty liver syndrome.You need to
take her back to the vet. Fatty liver can be treated by adequate caloric
intake. You need to learn assist feeding (which isn't that
Was the cat actually diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis? In my experience,
cats that have never been overweight, very seldom get it. It obviously
must be something to do with the liver or as a result of the compromised
immune system.. PetTinic results are not fast, it takes a long time to
show
I'm sorry you and your cat are going through this. There is a lot you can do
starting with getting food into her. Sounds like she is jaundiced which is a
sign of Hepatic Lipidosis. The cure for this if food. FHL makes a cat very
nauseated which definitely affects their appetite.

Anndrea- try some Stage One baby foods (beef, chicken, ham, etc.) that just
have meat in them- I mix a 3 ounce jar with 3 ounces of hot tap water, mix it
up well, and they will lap it up. And with the canned food, try mixing it with
hot water also. Mash it up good, so that it's all liquid. She

Hi-
I work with a nonprofit animal rescue based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Two weeks ago
we took in an owner-surrender cat who tested positive yesterday for FeLV. We
had him retested this evening at another facility and that test also came back
positive. Unfortunately we do not have any fosters
There's a pretty active Persian Yahoo group that might be of help.

Also, do you know if both the Snap Elissa test (in office) AND the IFA
(Blood test sent out) were done. Make sure the IFA is done as you really
need to confirm the Snap test
Rachel, check with the vets to see what test was used. There has been a lot of
reports of false positives with the new IDEXX heartworm/FeLV/FIV combo test.
If that was the test used please arrange for the IFA test before making any
decisions about Oscar.
