After pondering the excellent advice of Alice, Sharyl and Natalie, and scouring
the FeLV archives, I think I've come up with a reasonable treatment plan to
propose to my wonderful, open supportive vet. Any comments would be much
appreciated.

amateur on FeLV, here are some of my random thoughts. Interferon-Good-I am

to be giving it-not a cure, but it may keep the virus somewhat at bay. LTCI-it

Sounds like a good plan. The diff. between Pet-Tinic and NutriVed is the
NutriVed contains folic acid. On the 'how bad do they taste' scale NutriVed
may taste a little worse. If you go with Pet-Tinic you can always added folic
acid. I prefer either powdered supplements or those in a

It's a rainy, melancholy Sunday where I am too. But what a lucky day it was two
years ago when that litter of feral kittens ended up with you. And Murphy is

exactly where he needs to be. I feel so bad about your little ones who have
passed, but Murphy and Rosie obviously wake up
Hi,
It's so sad to hear about all your symptomatic FeLV+ cats and kittens.
Years ago, I had a FeLV+ kitten that was on interferon, but suddenly got
seizures and died at the vet before it was 3 months old. My two, Mr. Tux
and Eliot Spitty, are perfectly healthy asymptomatic cats. Other than
Okay, Mr. Tux is a great name but Eliot Spitty is just plain awesome!
Avis is in a very different place than your two wonderfully healthy and
asymptomatic cats. My vet flat out told me that his CBC numbers were not good
and needed to be monitored carefully, and that his prognosis depends on how
Thanks, Sheryl. Powder definitely sounds easier to dose than capsules.
I will also talk to the vet about l-Lysine because Avis does have herpes. It
damaged his 3rd eyelid which was why we were at the vet ophthalmologist and got
the fateful blood test.
TWO feral cat colonies?! Wow. That is sad

I perked up reading your message about L-Lysine and herpes. I have my
mother's dear cat, Lucky, who recently got a positive FeLV and has, since
we've had him (12 years?) had an occasionally runny eye that one vet
diagnosed as herpes.
So, how do you get the L-lysine in them? Just put

I am so sorry to hear of your sweet boy's passing. I bet you can hear him
purring even now. Cherish the memories. May his transition be an easy one.

I'll add Aristotle to my prayers. He sounds like a wonderful boy.
Thank you for everything you and everyone else does for these special kitties.

Most of them were born in the colonies. I have TNR's most of these cats so
there will be few additions. Seems like a new one shows up every few months.
They get fresh food and water every night and seem quite happy. Some I have
been feeding for almost 5 yrs now.
I get my L-Lysine powder
Bonnie, I add 1/4 tsp to each qt. of water. For the ferals I add 1/4 tsp for
each 5.5 oz of canned food I put out for them.
Here is the link again for the L-Lysine powder

My Fuji absolutely refuses to take pills. However, the last few days I've
added lysine to her wet food and she has been eating it pretty well!
