Hi Susan,
I haven't dealt with anemia in FeLV+ cats, but have with other causes. That's the problem, there are so many possible reasons for the anemia. Without knowing what's actually causing it, it's tough to treat. sensibly. I'd always include B vitamins and an iron source. You don't give
One of my positive kittens had non regenerative anemia when he was about 6
months. We gave him lixotinic (same or similar as pet-tinic), a couple of
mL per day. It helped give him some iron in his blood and feel a bit better
for a while, I think, but we lost him a couple of months later. There's a
I don't know if it helps, but my FeLV+ kitty gets anemic from time to
time and I ahve had wonderful results with Pet-Tinic. It is a liquid

Eating little bits is not the same as normal appetite. If you've noticed a
difference, it's because something is likely wrong.
