Re: Swollen Glands?

Susan, There is not much that the vet can do about the swollen glands. It just means that she is fighting off something. I would go ahead and start her on the interferon now if possible. The Lysine will help boost her immune system,as well as a product called "MIssing Link"

Hi there, thank you to everyone who's posted info for us. I've been reading the archives, but it's a lot of material to work through. Autumn has only tested positive on the ELISA test so far. she goes back in 6 mos for a second round of testing. At that point we will redo the ELISA and send off

Regarding Emmet, My guess would be that's not necessarily so (that he's dying). Could be fighting it off. They can do that. Could be fighting something else off, like a uri. Or on the other hand would be developing lymphoma. WOuld require a vet check. Might start giving him interferon Al

Our website is www.adoptapet.org - we have a ways to go with the site, but if you take a look, Emmet, the positive kitten with the swollen glands, is on our home page. Even tho he's been placed, the picture is so cute we thought it might help people realize positive cats need homes too. J

Yes, she tested positive with the IFA test. We are primarily a small TNR group and don't always test, but she was so thin and run down, we had her tested. The other adults looked OK. Many of the 14 kittens, positive and negative, had health issues, which we're getting through. We are base

There are lots of cats I know of that need to be relocated somewhere but I really can't take them all. I already have too many in my yard (and enough under my bed) but I'm looking more to address the caretaker's fear that she will get sick again while outside, and be impossible to find or trap.

where are you located? There are some groups that will take feral positive cats. You could probably work with her too to socialize her, although it would take months. Also, swollen glands don't necessarily mean the end. Some FELV pos cats have swollen glands all the time, some non positive

Hello everyone, A while back I joined this list after trapping 5 kittens who tested positive. Luckily, all 5 have been placed. One little guy named Emmet went to a home as a companion to another positive cat. The adoptive mom's vet said Emmet's glands are swollen and doesn't give this kitte

I absolutly do not know - but a call to the vet might be in order. Also, you might ask if there's something else that might be helpful - antihistamine? Is she on low-dose interferon? Gloria At 04:19 PM 4/13/2005, you wrote: I don't know. I guess I would do another week? Or ask the vet? Michelle
