I would suggest that you have your vet do a small biopsy of the growth to get an exact diagnosis and to rule out cancer. I think adenomas are common in older pets and are usually benign. I don't think it is common for them to bleed so extensively though. I've never seen any reference to adenomas being cause by Felv. I am not sure if prednisone would be helpful; I think you would need to know if the growth is cancerous or not. Good luck! Michele -- Original message -- From: Viky Digangi I adopted Mickey when he was about 5 months old and found out he was positive for felv. For 8 years he displayed no signs of the virus until last December when he fell in the garage about 8 feet and did not land on his feet. Although he was not seriously hurt this apparently triggered something with the virus. He became lethargic and would not eat. My vet at the time began a series of the immuno regulen shots and after about 3 months began giving them to him every two weeks. Last week I awoke to find flood all over my bed and followed the trail of blood drops through the house to Mickey. He had an adenoma on his back leg (which I had not noticed) which burst open. I took him to the vet I currently have and he said normally he would perform surgery to remove it but in Mickey's condition surgery would be dangerous for him. The adenoma had stopped bleeding by now so I said ok. It was fine all week until yesterday and it burst open again. He cannot keep losing blood this way and I was wondering if anyone else had encountered a situation like this. I thought of asking my vet if he would switch Mickey to prednisone to see if that would promote healing. Any suggestions?

Dorlis, I took in a FELV+ male cat last May. He was a stray who wanted to come in, but wasn't neutered. He became deathly sick after he was neutered by the Humane Society. They did not test him first. Since I felt responsible, I took him in to nurse. I doctored him the best I could and he has thrived. I kept him apart from my other 4 female negative cats for three months. Now I am letting him out for a good part of the day. He goes in his room at night (he has his own bedroom) and I feed him separate as best I can.. All my other cats have been vaccinated for years. I could not keep him locked up forever.

I keep a prayer journal and I have a page for animals. I will be praying for Kiwi. I rescued a male stray with FELV in May. He is doing very well now, but he was very sick and nearly died. In addition to all the medical and nutritional things you all are doing, I stroked him and prayed over him continually. I am so grateful to have him. His name is Puku.
