Dear Catherine, I'm so sorry. I know that there are no words that will bring any relief, but I wish I could help. Meowko will never be gone as long as she remains in your heart, and I see that you will never lack for happy memories. That she passed easily is a blessing. She chose you as her

I can't put him in with the other cats. I wouldn't do it with my own cats, one of whom is FIV+ and thus especially vulnerable to contracting FeLV, because the vaccination is not 100% effective and having seen the ravages of FeLV I would never risk that. But it's not up to me in our foster

Hi Michelle, I think you are right in this. I have combined, but it was inadvertant, and wouldn't do it conciously were there an alternative. No vaccine is 100%. Having run a foster program myself, I understand that you cannot ask them to risk either their own pets,

Hi Lee, Just a caution, 18 months ago I had no FeLV positive cats. I now have two. The same cats. The infection can apparently sequester in the bone marrow, and resurface with immune suppression and/or stress. That's why I say my "mixing" was inadvertant :( Margo -Original

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate them. Margo, it's so hard to know what to do. In Ember's case, I feel like the surgeon will probably want to go ahead with surgery, unless it's obvious that something (other than the lung mass) is very wrong. I've seen
