Hi everyone,
I lost my perfect little tuxedo soulmate last week. He was my first cat and
the best friend ever. At age 11 we discovered he was FeLV+, likely
contracted from some kittens we were fostering at the time. We lost all
kittens within a year, went on to foster another FeLV kitty, Jazz,

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

nose,

No, we just did the test for hyperthyroidism. His blood panel last year
looked pretty normal. Forgot also to say his blood pressure
rhythm.
ECHOcardiogram, is an ultrasound of the heart to actually visualize the
heart as it's pumping.

Actually, when I said EKG I meant ultrasound. Or, are they the same? We
did the xray first, then the ultrasound/EKG to get a closer look
Lance,
I'm so, so sorry to hear about sweet, beautiful Ember. Sounds similar to
what my last 2 positive kittens had. I waited too long with the last one
and wished I hadn't. You gave Ember a wonderful life and I am sure she was
grateful for that. May the good times you shared together bring you
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
, when she was seven. I haven’t
taken her to a specialist, but we ruled out toxo. At times, the vet has
thought that the pupil has gotten a bit smaller, but I’ve never seen a real
change.

Hi everyone,
I just noticed my 10 year old FeLV cat, Krammer, has uneven pupils. He had
a winky/weepy eye a couple of weeks ago for a few days, where he had some
drainage and one eye was squinty with a smaller pupil. It cleared up on
it's own after a few days (I give him lysine). A day or two ago
Forgot to say - Krammer has an appointment for Monday morning with his
usual vet, but I could take him tomorrow if needed. I am not sure how
urgent it is.

We said good bye to one of our 8 month old FeLV kittens, Terence,
yesterday. He had been declining for a couple of weeks and was very thin,
and definitely not as active has his 3 siblings still are. We tried making
him eat wet food but it just wasn't working and the last day or two we
didn't hear
Hi Shelley and Jennifer,
When my 10 yr old cat was first diagnosed in July, I found this forum to be
helpful in learning about LTCI:
http://910pets.com/forum/topics/feline-leukemia?xg_source=activityid=2127871.
It's not very active now, but it's a good resource and folks will still
respond to you
is the same thing Lance is referring to as
feline recombinant interferon omega ?
