At the Shelter where I volunteer, they find that rehydrating a
cat by giving sub-q usually perks up their appetite.

Hi
And always use a syringe with a lot of liquid to the food. They will
fight you, but anything you can get down is a plus. I used baby food
mixed with non-flavored Pedialyte. Put her in her own room, on a bed
away from the others. Go in every two hours to feed her some fluids.

Jennifer,
My Pookie was diagnosed when he was 2 years old, and the virus showed
up after I had him neutered. I took him to a vet who told me his blood
count was 4.5, that it was in his bone marrow, and he would not live out
the week. Unable to stand, I brought him home and nourished him the be

They took her temp yesterday and no fever. She's not showing any outward
signs of infection, so that's good I guess. I'm just wondering if she's
going to be able to pull out of this. :-(

Regular cats can also have those symptoms. The B12 shot is good. Does she have
a fever? Many doctors completely neglect the simple task of taking the cat's
temperature. An antibiotic injection might be of benefit. My hard and fast rule
is to think "simple" first. My FIV positive cat had a lump o

Good info Margo. You definitely have to hydrate and keep hydrating quickly
Jennifer and force feed if necessary. Keep Amoxcillan (sp) on hand at the
very least but I suggest talk to your vet and buy/keep several different
types on hand with his/her help on determining which to start and when.

You have already gotten some good advise. Assist feeding is critical if she is
going to have the strength to fight through this slump. Otherwise she'll
starve to death. Here is the link to the Yahoo assist feeding group.

Jen is there a college near you? What state are you in? I work at an animal
rescue and if I were you I would call them and explain your situation. They may
be able to get you at least a discount at the vet because they often have great
relationships with them. Also there's a website with a list
Jennifer I'm literally going through the SAME thing. My 2.5 yo male was

with a light heart murmur. He's on Prednisone .5 twice a day, 0.5 ml (50mg/ml)
Doxycycline 2x day, Lysine (not so much bc he hates it), and 0.5 ml

My first thought is to get her immediately on sub-q fluids, and join the yahoo CRF list http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Feline-CRF-Support/info .

Hi Jennifer,
Sorry to hear about your kitty. Has she had the virus since she was a
kitten? Are you assist feeding her? I nursed my 10 year old out of a slump

feeding, low dose of prednisone and t-cyte injections. Just do wha
