If they have trouble breathing consistently, I figure it's lymphoma
and take them to the vet usually to have fluid removed. At times,
I've had chemo (vincristine, or whatever), but ultimately they pass
on. The fluid can buy a little time. If they start becoming
neurological I haven't developed any options except to watch and wait
and pts when time. If they act healthy, of course, I figure they can
hang around and enjoy life a bit longer.

My 14/15 year old feral FIV+ feral kitty Bobbi had uneven pupils,
the vet
felt it was a tumor but in her remaining 9 months there were no
further
changes or indications, she also had toxoplasmosis & my vet didn't
think it
was due to that, but, I sort of suspected it was since there were no
further
problems and to me it looked more normal after Toxo treatment.

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
and
breathing heavy - I have central air and keep it on all the
time.The last
time she did this, it was actually very cool in her room.
The other one had seizures one day several months ago - that was
the one
and only time that occured. But several months ago, his 3rd eyelid
(on both
eyes) started staying out. He can still see but not too well.
Is there anything I need to do or is this just part of the disease?
There
are no other symptoms for either one of them at this time.
