Feline Leukemia
If anyone out there has any words of wisdom or last minute treatment
attempts for a cat with this illness please respond. My cat Putter probably contacted the disease last year but was not officially diagnosed until last month after experiencing complications due to steroid shots used to treat an infection. She is rapidly progressing through the illness and i have been told its time to think about putting her down. I can not take that course of actions until i know i have tried everything possible to keep her with me. She is the light of my life! Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.health+behav",
(KaraAnn) artfully composed this message within . com on 08 Jun 2004: If anyone out there has any words of wisdom or last minute treatment attempts for a cat with this illness please respond.

Thank you. I echo Laura's query: how sick is your cat? If you'd like to read stories of other cats with FeLV (including my own cat, Shadow) please read the stories linked on the attached site. Again, it really depends on how ill your cat is because from what I understand, once the disease progresses, it is very fast. Best wishes to you and your cat. http://www.fourpawstrail.com/felvcats/index.html (there is a section that was just added called "what the pros say" but I haven't had a chance to read it yet) -- Cheryl |

Karen,
Before you make a decision, go to felinelukemia.org site--browse thru archives & maybe join talk list--lots of good advice from folks who know & can help you through this... FELV+ is not an automatic death sentence every time kitty gets sick--- can you describe what sorts of problems your kitty has? how old? etc. "KaraAnn" wrote in message om...
