thank you for taking TeeCee in when his uselesss owners abandoned him. Leash trained yet--he really sounds like a great sweetheart. I am so sorry he is not doing well. dont' be afraid to ask your vet for referral to specialist vets. (i've gone thru 3 vets and 6 different animals passing away from various illnesses and I finally had to ask each vet to refer me and then their attitude was like oh yeah there are specialists around here....). have they done a blood work on him to see if he's anemic or catch any other underlying problems? regards barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephanie E Caldwell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 4:47 PM Subject: Need help with treatment options for FELV+ kitty and infections
