[Felvtalk] My baby recently diagnosed with FeLV

Hi everyone, Looking for support, suggestions, and information. I've never had a cat with FeLV. We took our 1 year old, Hodor, to the vet because he seemed lethargic and in his stool there was a piece of floss that was red. At the vet things escalated and they told us he was severely anemic and

I lost my final FeLV+ boy on April 29 of this year. Milkdud was my first FeLV+ cat, who arrived in the fall of 2009. Harley came a year later. Then Brock became Harley's companion after Milkdud died. Brock wasn't lonely after Harley died last year, as Harley had been after Milkdud passed,

Good for you for not listening to the euthanasia nonsense.  Doxycycline is used in case the anemia is being caused by Hemobartonellosis (Hemobart for short).  But you said there was a piece of floss in his stool.  Floss can do all kinds of nasty stuff to a kitty's intestines.  He could have lost

Re: [Felvtalk] My baby recently diagnosed with FeLV

Hi Elizabeth, I had commented a couple of times on your Facebook posts on the Felv+ Owners page. How has your cat been feeling since the transfusion? Has he been able to sustain any energy, appetite and such after his transfusion? I am glad you found this board. I was given very good info here
