Good luck to you Molly (and Mia kitty). I lost my Tigger last year. He too was tested and found to be free of FeLV and FIV when he was a tiny kitten. I never had him outside, ever, but at 5-1/2 years he tested positive for FeLV. They said the test is not always accurate the the vaccine is not al

I am just not certain about whether I had her on the Doxy as well. I may have, since the combination had worked so well with Zander, but I am not 100% sure. Strictly speaking, in that circumstance, I am not sure what the Doxy might add, but then again, I have no idea why the Winstrol/Prednisolon

Hi Katherine I had a 16 year old cat who was diagnosed with an aggressive nasal sarcoma. I decided to treat it with radiation, but before that, I figured that with such a poor prognosis, I had little to lose trying other treatments (since none was suggested) and I put her on the Winstrol/Predni

My sweet, dear 14 yo FeLV boy Krammer was just diagnosed with aggressive nasal carcinoma. For the last 2 months, he has had a chronic nosebleed. It started out small around Christmas, and since then his symptoms have included daily sneezing fits, bloody nasal discharge from one side of his nose, an
