They took her temp yesterday and no fever. She's not showing any outward
signs of infection, so that's good I guess. I'm just wondering if she's
going to be able to pull out of this. :-(

Regular cats can also have those symptoms. The B12 shot is good. Does she have
a fever? Many doctors completely neglect the simple task of taking the cat's
temperature. An antibiotic injection might be of benefit. My hard and fast rule
is to think "simple" first. My FIV positive cat had a lump o
Sub-q is definitely best, but I have syringed water (slowly and only about 1.5
ml at a time) to Ember when I was concerned about her. She's been given
interferon orally for years, so she's used to it, but if she were actually
dehydrated, I would do sub-q in a heartbeat. I've read it makes them f

Good info Margo. You definitely have to hydrate and keep hydrating quickly
Jennifer and force feed if necessary. Keep Amoxcillan (sp) on hand at the
very least but I suggest talk to your vet and buy/keep several different
types on hand with his/her help on determining which to start and when.

You have already gotten some good advise. Assist feeding is critical if she is
going to have the strength to fight through this slump. Otherwise she'll
starve to death. Here is the link to the Yahoo assist feeding group.

Jen is there a college near you? What state are you in? I work at an animal
rescue and if I were you I would call them and explain your situation. They may
be able to get you at least a discount at the vet because they often have great
relationships with them. Also there's a website with a list
Jennifer I'm literally going through the SAME thing. My 2.5 yo male was
recently diagnosed as being FeLV+ and I was devastated. He was also diagnosed
with a light heart murmur. He's on Prednisone .5 twice a day, 0.5 ml (50mg/ml)
Doxycycline 2x day, Lysine (not so much bc he hates it), and 0.5 ml
Her Hgb was 8.3 if I remember correctly, not too bad, but not great. I

Hi Jennifer,
My first thought is to get her immediately on sub-q fluids, and join the yahoo CRF list http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Feline-CRF-Support/info .

Hi Jennifer,
Sorry to hear about your kitty. Has she had the virus since she was a
kitten? Are you assist feeding her? I nursed my 10 year old out of a slump
this summer (when I first found out he was pos) with sub-q fluids, assist
feeding, low dose of prednisone and t-cyte injections. Just do wha
