Hi !
Just wanted to introduce myself - and my cat, Tango :) About 3 weeks ago
we took him in to the vets because we noticed he was losing weight. The vet
thought he could have an overactive thyroid, so she took some blood and
sent the results off for testing. A couple days later, she called to tell us
that he in fact had Feline Leukemia :( After Tango, our other major
concern was for our other 3 cats - so we took them in for testing, and
thankfully
they all came back negative. At the same time they got the shot against
Feline Leukemia. Tango also had a yeast infection in both ears, so we had
drops for that. The vet also gave us a course of antibiotics for him, plus
Interferon. Poor cat doesn't like me much any more, as I've been the one to
give him his meds - but he still likes to wake me up in the middle of the
night for tickles :)
We're giving him kitten food to try and help him gain weight. Any other
suggestions for helping him stay as healthy as possible ? Apart from the
weight loss, he seems perfectly happy, thankfully :)
~ Jenny :)
