I thank very much all the support and tips to investigate further into what
Miles has. I also believe the disease may have nothing to do with FeLV,
although being FeLV+ does not help.
I'm so sorry about your kitty. He's so fortunate to have you both to

PS. I missed the part about being anemic, get him started on
doxocycline and prednisolone also, this is common for FeLV+'s and he may
