Dear Friends, I have a difficult decision to make, and I hope you
can help... I have several FelV cats at a shelter I have in
town. Most remain in good health by all appearances, however one 8
year old female has been steadily losing weight, she is now very
anemic; extremely emaciatedm and sh
Lorrie,
I am so sorry for your heart ache. Is there any time for a blood transfusion?
When I had asked my family vet about anemia, (my cat was down to a HCT of 9 at
one point), he said they become very lethargic and just get tired and weak and
eventually pass. I wish you the very best!! I
I have a question - not sure how to submit it. I have 2 cats who are feline
leukemia positive. From outward appearances, they look and basically act
healthy. One of them has started having a dilated pupil - it is not constant
but it has been occuring a lot lately. She will also start panting

Hello Lorrie,
I am so sorry. I have been in your situation one three occasions. The
first time I did nothing. I let her stop eating, as force feeding in this
situation seems only to bother them and prolong their suffering. She lived
for approximately two weeks after she stopped eating. She wo
it sounds as if your little one is doing what so many FeLVs do, just fading
away. often they seem to be alert and aware of their surroundings, and in no
distress, nor in any great hurry to leave--they just slowly sort of
disappear it's usually a quiet, gentle passage, and whenever possible

Lorrie,
I'm so sorry she has reached this stage. Of the three positives I've lost this
yr. one was from anemia. CJ was in distress that last day and I did take him
to the vet to have him PTS. Each kitty is unique so don't know if my
experience is relevant to your situation.

When Charlotte began to decline, one of my first clues that something was
amiss was her heavy breathing. My vet said that this was a result of severe
anemia. Even though she had a blood transfusion and seemed to become more alert
and comfortable during her last month, the heavy breathing remaine
Colostrum?!
As in "first milk" or "immune milk"?
What has that got to do with anything?

Lorrie,
I am so sorry to hear about your little kitty. I was in the same position
about a year ago. My darling FeLV+ kitty Buzz was anemic and slowly going
down hill. He had stopped eating and I was carrying him to his litter box
and upstairs to sleep next to me every night. One morning whe

better. I've been through itCathy

Yes. It has a lot of immune/healing boosters in it for animals and
people alike. I know of one elderly lad who broke an arm and healed
like a teenage thanks to this and I have holistic vets who recommend it.
Sorry, I thought the inquiry was into dietary supplements.
