Hi Cherie -
When my sweet Mittens started regurgitating his food, he also had swollen lymph
nodes. The vet diagnosed lymphoma. There were several traditional chemo
options. I chose to get Vincristine shots for him. It did make the lymph
nodes go down, he could eat without throwing up, and
No hair loss or constant itching.I was curious if sores are another symptom of FeLV?

I personally wouldn't use Neosporin. Guess everybody has their favorites.
I tend to use an herbal powder, Golden Seal, for sores and minor skin
breaks. I buy it at the health food store in capsules, and break open the
capsules.
I also use Aloe Vera based cream sometimes, and I use
Small sores, and yes I have called my vet she says use Neosporin, and rub it in well.

Hi All,
The part of the Aloe that is toxic is the Latex layer beneath the skin.
This is NOT the part used for commercial Aloe preparations/gels. So
as long as you don't cut open an Aloe leaf and rub it on your cat, it
is okay to use the gel. As always, check the labels and try not to use

Oh Tamara! Don't be sorry, I'm glad to know there may be a problem.
Where did you hear Aloe is deadly to cats!? I could have sworn it was

Thanks for the clarification, Kat. And Tamara, thanks for the heads up
about potential dangers. I have an aloe plant in the back yard that
I've used medicinally for myself, (although it hadn't occurred to me to
use it like that on my animals, thank goodness!).

Good point, a few years back I researched that. But it turned out that
only one part of the aloe plant is toxic to cats, and then if ingested in
large quantities. A part of it is a strong purgative. People can be
sensitive too. And related to skin reactions, in older plants, there's an
Neosporin or Tree Tee Oil, sound good to me so far, but thanks for all the input you guys I knew I could count on you

Well, actually, Tea Tree Oil is not something you want to use
casually. While it does have it's uses, there are cases of it being
harmful. Might look around the pet store, or health food store. Arnica
Cream is still my favorite, but they may have some kind of combo cream.
