Re: [Felvtalk] Need suggestions help for 2 yr old leuk cat
My first positive cat had severe uri's. I took her to a homeopathic vet in addition to her regular vet and it got her through two really bad ones (almost pneumonia). The last time she got sick I had to let her go. She was just too hard to medicate and too miserable to go on. She lived to 7 or 8 years old though. tonya Claudia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, I need your help!!! I just joined this website.

Sh's been on Clavamox anibiotic for 10 days, it's helped a little, but this apst Tuesday and Today, she had a coupel of episodes where she began a couphing fit, then started weezing, and panting for air, with her outh opening for a few seconds for air. IT was scary, I'd never seen her like that. I turned ont humidifier and that seemd to help her.One thig though was that when I've had the humidifier on for too long, I found mold on the windown int he room, and that's not good either. I'm planning on taking her to the vet tomorrow. I don't know what they'll tell me. I want to keep her healthy for as long as I can. HEr vet told me that she might have ashtma, but it was hard to tell form her X ray because she also has the Leukemia. The vet didn't want to put her on Steroids because it's deadly for leukemia cats. I'm wondering what to do??? I was told people ont his board know a lot about feline Leuk. Please offer any suggestions, recommendations.

Re: [Felvtalk] Need suggestions help for 2 yr old leuk cat
Hi Claudia I wish I could help you. I think that a good vet is your best hope at this time. I (we) can help you if your vet can get her stabilized and out of this crisis. I have been able to treat a very sick, Felv kittie with a variety of treatments, supplements and interferon alpha. I can share all of these with you. I'm thinking of the both of you and hoping that your vet can get her to a place where you can begin to help her. Please keep us posted.
