Hi,
I just joined this list today, Thanksgiving Day. Yesterday my kitty was
diagnosed with feline leukemia, she is just barely one year old and I have had
her less than a year (by a few weeks).
She has not been her usual self, not getting into everything, not eating,
lethargic, breathing
Did the vet recommend euthanization based on her diagnosis alone? If so I
would find another vet. No matter what I would get a second opinion. There
are too many vets out there who don't understand this disease.
If no one out there has a recommendation for a vet in your area, I would try
one
Dianne,
You have come to the right place. Please do not euthanize ! Feline Leukemia
is not always a immediate death sentence. Get her on some strong immune system
boosters excellent quality cat food and interferon and she could live a very
long happy life.
You find this list supportive and
Dianne,
First of all -- welcome! You won't find a nicer, smarter group of people
anywhere. We're glad you are here!
Second - take a deep breath. FeVL+ is not always a death sentence. Euthanasia
is standard operating procedures in some vet circles. Same thing happened to
me last May when
It sounds like she is doing a lot better then if she is able to eat so
much!
I like the AAFP vets because they are supposed to abide by the following
guidelines, per the information on that site:
All cats should be tested for infection with feline leukemia virus
(FeLV) and feline
Kitty with new diagnosis is Asia, she is a beautiful blue gray cat, she was
adopted from a local rescue group last Dec., she was born the end of Sept or
first of Oct.I selected Sept. 29 for her birthdate as that is also my son's
birthday.
So she is 14 months old and she has been with me a
Diane,
Definitely do not euthanize! If you can, take her to a board-certified
internist, usually you can fine one at a big veterinary hospital, a vet school
hospital, or a veterinary referral center. They are more skilled at diagnosis.
All the feline leukemia virus means is that her
Best wishes to all this Thanksgiving day.

Hi Dianne, sorry you had to find us, but I am glad you did!
Yes, you do need to find a more sympathetic vet! First off, JUST doing a
FELV test is NOT really good enough to make such a drastic decision on. Your
vet needs to pull a CBC (that's a full blood testing panel), or at least
check her
Some members here use both Transfer Factor AND Rescue Remedy, both of which
are flower essence derived products, I believe. I know many here use
L-Lysine, Vitamin C, Co-enzyme-Q-10, and Pet-tinic or another
vitamin/mineral supplement. I personally swear by Nutri-Cal gel, Lixo-Tinic

Dianne,
I'm sorry you had to find the list in this way, but I guess that's how
we all came here. Is Asia drinking enough? My Scooter (11 months old)
was dehydrated when I took him to the vet, and he wasn't eating and was
also lethargic. His blood work looked good but he had a tissue mass
Thanks Jennifer. I will get the other cat milk right away. He gave me
prescription A/Dshe won't eat it...and fights the syringe. She did eat
some fine pieces of chicken today.
Here is a NEW DILEMMA: I just found her paperwork from when I adopted her last

I am so glad that Angelica is back. That is wonderful
news.

It sounds like you need to find another vet. I had to
find a new one when my Smokey was diagnosed with being
felv+. They were recomending euthanasia and I am so
glad I didn't do it. I will give him love , a home
and all the medical help I can until his time comes.
Really we never really know
I'm so sorry Sherry.

actually, hematocrit has to do with the concentration of the blood cells, I
believe, not the iron levels per se.

I am in agreement with Phaewryn. I adopted a kitten

three different medicines, including the Viroptic and
antibiotics, for her corneal ulcer and nothing worked

Hi Dianne,
Welcome to the FeLV group, and although I'm sorry Asia
has tested positive for FeLV, you have found the best
place to be while dealing with this unpredictable
disease.
I was surprised to read that Asia tested negative for
FeLV last December. It's possible it was a false
negative;
Marissa,
I would wait and see how Slinky is doing in the
morning. I have kitties that sneeze for no reason,
and they get hairballs that make them throw up,
neither of which would need a vet visit. I would make
sure Slinky is on L-Lysine though to keep his immune
system boosted. A cold in an
