I'm so sad for you Maya, the hurt of losing Merlot must be terrible.
I'm now age 82 and I've been rescuing cats for 50 years. I've lost so
many to old age or Felv, and it's heart breaking. The only comfort we
have is knowing we loved those precious cats and made their lives,
however short they

Maya, so sorry to hear about Merlot. May his spirit be with you always,
purring to yours across the divide when you need it most.

Maya, I'm so sorry to hear about Merlot. Thank you for your dedicated care

Merlot was admitted to the vet hospital this morning. His fever is
persisting and we still have no idea as to cause. Last night they tested
for pancreatitis and that test came back normal. He got sub-Q fluids and
they sent him home with us. He has vomitted a few times and he has not

Sometimes with a Felv pos. cat they get sick and the vet never does
actually find a cause, they simply go downhill. This has happened to
me many times, and when the cat or kitten won't eat and starts
hiding, I know it is time for him/her to be PTS. Tthis is a terrible
decision to make, but dying

So we can say relatively conclusively at this point that this is the FeLV,
as his blood cell counts are going down and everything else has been ruled

His fever hasn't changed, which is good and bad. Good that it's not worse,
bad that it's not responding to drugs. We got to take him home
injected though I have never done that. If the

develop in FeLV cats. I am assuming that it means it's not a good sign
overall for his longer term health. I am hoping to hear of a miracle drug

Hey everyone,
Merlot is my 3.5 year old cat. Last summer my other cat passed away from
FeLV (we had no idea she had it), and we had Merlot tested. He tests + on
the snap/pcr test, but - on the ELISA. This gave me a little bit of piece
of mind, in the hope that he would not become persistently +.
Treatment depends on the cause of the low platelet count. If it's low
enough that blood can't clot properly, he could develop internal bleeds
from minor events, and become anemic or worse. If the cause was his
immune system attacking his own platelets, the treatment might be
