[Felvtalk] Louisville, KY 12-14 wk. old kitten tested positive
This male kitten, whose mother was part of a feral colony, was trapped, neutered and tested positive for feline leukemia. He is a little underweight but otherwise appears healthy. Understand he needs to be tested again. Current caretaker is keeping him inside her apartment but can't keep him due to restrictions in her apartment complex. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Susan Saunders___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
[Felvtalk] FeLV Ascites?
My FeLV+ kitten developed ascites and I'm worried the vet is going to tell me it's FIP. Does anyone know if ascites is ever related to FeLV? ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV Ascites?
I wouldn't know..besides of FIP it could be heart trouble and other conditions. Sorry I can't reasure you. The vet can draw fluid and analyze it for protein content, high protein is FIP. Last year and earlier this year we lost two kittens to FIP almost a month apart. When they extracted fluid from the first one it was clear but the analysis confirmed the high protein content. So dx was FIP, later on vet found a large mass growing so concluded that he had pancreatic cancer thus the fluid_at that point was greenish_his sister also got a FIP dx, high prt fluid but more typical; yellow viscous fluid, no cancer. I'm wishing all the best to you and your kitten http://homelessnomore.webs.com/ From: Forgotten Felines toledoc...@gmail.com To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2012 5:00 PM Subject: [Felvtalk] FeLV Ascites?

Please check with the vets at Middletown Animal Clinic; Dr. Betty Bosewell (Nova) and Dr. Susan Maier in Simpsonville. They were all totally wonderful with my Dixie and may well have ideas. Remind Dr. Maier of Monkee and Carolyn. This may give you more options.
