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

Gloria,
Thanks for that 2c. I got the feeling the vet was
leaning towards euth'sia and I didn't want to argue
the point when I don't really know what I'm talking
about.

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

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.

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
So the mom is FELV+? Where are you located. One possibility is to find a
rescue that will take (feral) FELV cats.

Hello everyone,
A while back I joined this list after trapping 5

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
Try clavamox that worked for my guy with swollen glands

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?

These are probably her lymphnodes, when Bailey was dealing with the

I think I would get her checked, though.

Deirdre was sneezing and coughing, infrequently for a few days and her
neck was quite swollen. The 2 glands under her jaw were swollen. She's
been on amoxicillin 50mg twice a day since I noticed this on April 2nd
and she's always taken Lysine (500 mg.
Presently her neck is back to normal size a
