Good luck to you. I have some of the Mega C Plus, I'd try that, would also try daily low dose interferon, which has a variety of prices - ranging from expensive to cheap. The age 2.5 - 3 yrs is a tough time for FELV cats, least it's been for my guys. Give it all you've got. I sure hope

Hi Cassandra, Yes, I buy my salmon oil at the health food store. I have a cat on my lap, so I can't go get the name brand for you right now, but it's 100% wild salmon oil, no additives or other ingredients. They are gel caps that I puncture with a pin. I add it to a homemade food that I

Yeah, that;s the big problem, most of the alternative litters are much more expensive. That's the main reason I switched to Pine shavings, it's just so economical. I've had no issues with toxicity, allergies, etc - and one of my cats is highly allergic to almost everything, he loves to dig and

Thought I might chime in on some of these questions. The TF caps aren't very large, and they are easy to give in any form you like, since they can easily be opened and their contents dumped in food. Ember gets hers in canned Innova EVO. More importantly, there's a big difference between TF Plus

Hi Lance, Since you've done your homework about TF... Do you know the difference between the TF Plus Advanced and TF Stress formula? I've always ordered the sf, but now I can't remember why I made that decision in the first place. I don't have any felv in the house right now and don't give

Hemobartonella is completely curable, even in FELV+ cats. Don't throw in the towel just yet! Keep up with the treatment, and it's likely your baby will be just fine! It is good to know of the FELV status anyways, but I certainly wouldn't assume that the FELV has become symptomatic just because the

Hi, Sorry you have had to find us but Tomi is in good hands. Is he on doxocycline and is the parasite hemobartonella? If the anemia is due to that the doxy should get his blood count back up once the hemobartonella is under control, he should be on the doxy for a minimum of 4 to 6

Thank you for listening to your heart. A frightening number of vets recommend euthanasia without further evaluation. You did very well. I am sure you will get a lot of responses here -- but there is hope and life after a FeVL+ diagnosis. Mama Kitty wasn't supposed to live but a few weeks.
