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 :)
