Hi Michelle, Yes, Bandy tested positive for both back in Aug...He was tested twice on ELISA and then IFA bone marrow...She told me she searched for cancer cells and other things and found nothing else..The anemia is caused from the Felv...She said the FIV would probably never cause him a
I doubt he has seroconverted, especially if he is still having anemia and
other problems. I would not do another FeLV test, at least not now. I
think that cats who seroconvert usually do so a little while after contracting
the virus, but I am not sure.

Kerry,I wouldn't bother retesting for the felv either. I don't think a bone marrow can be false positive.It was interesting that with my first positive, CC, her Elisa tests were very quick, dark, results when she first got sick. After immunoregulin, interferon, holistic supplements,
Kerry,
It's good to hear that Bandy is hanging in there. Perhaps you could mix some salmon into his liver shake and he might take it better?
Hugs to you both.

Hi everyone,
I did ask about the metacam, and she saidnot to do it as it could cause him some gut bleeding maybe because of the steroids he has already had to take...She looked really paniced when I said it...
I will mix the liver shake, but he is so finicky and really only likes salmon. I will
Also, I understand if you might be afraid to try the I-R, given how high his temp has been anyway. But Ginger's temp came down after i used it; her temp was from a URI. But it did go up to 106 for about an hour after I gave her the I-R and it caused her to get chills too. But then it subsided.

Yes, that makes sense. Combining steroids with NSAIDS and such can cause
gastric bleeding. I had not thought of that.
I make a pitch again for Immuno-regulin, though I
Hi,
We had some bad news today...The IFA was positive for FeLV and FIV...His bone marrow is failing...It is not producing enough RBC. The WBC are ok..it was a little high, but not much.
We have stopped the epogen(procrit) injections for now...Since he does have enough erythropoietin he doesn't
Teo suggestions:
1. Did you ask about Metacam for the fever and inflammation?
2. Acupuncture sometimes helps raise hematocrit, and I was told by a Reiki practitioner that reiki does also.

Hi Kerry,
I'm sorry to hear that Bandy had some bad news. Is there any possibility that he couldhave hemobartonella? Did they test for it (notoriously hard to test for)? Doxycycline is the antibiotic of choice; would your vet be willing to prescribe it just in case? It causes anemia and since
Hi Kerry,
I'm sorry to hear Bandy was positive on the IFA tests, but it was a long
shot that he wasn't. I was hoping for better news, or at least a clear
treatment plan. I don't quite understand what's going on with his RBC,
hopefully your vet will be able to make it clearer to you when you
As per the suggestion of metacam:
I will SEND you my unused Metacam in the mail, if you need it for Bandy! It
was for Bones when she had the broken back, only used maybe 1/8 of the
bottle.
