First of all,  I'm so sorry about your loss of Yang.  I've been through it so many times and it NEVER gets any easier. The good news is that I have two adults, 10 and 11, that have had leukemia since I got them, almost 10 years ago.  They have been healthy all along.  I've had my share of ones

I've heard bad things about the research they do do. Don't know if they are true or not. I know the Ragdoll people raised quite a bit of money for heart disease research in cats (apparently there is lots of heart disease in Ragdolls) On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 12:40 PM, dlg...@windstream.net

What really obthers me is that many veterinarians don't seem to care one way or the other. Especially the fact that so many say put them down, don't even want to bother with treating. That is why I am staying with my vet even tho he has made a couple of mistakes. He does not say put them

I would try to find a holistic vet. Mine has a 22 year old felv+ patient who is currently dying - not of FELV but of liver failure. I swear by her. Tons of controversy here, but I also swear by raw food diets if you can swing it. Others will disagree We never know how long we have with them.
