Hi Peggy,
i'm so sorry about Thorne, she was so young, but so lucky to have a
loving home with you.
According to my "rumor mill", if they make it to 5, they're doing
pretty good. My last two died between 2 and 3 years of lymphoma.
That seems to be a critical age. There's something about when they
get it too - if they're born with it, vs, if they get it later. Anybody?
After my first 3 died, I've started using daily interferon alpha, as
a way to boost the immune system and hopefully stop the virus from
mutating into a form that produces disease. So far so good. Don't
know! But there are many who proclaim the virtues of interferon, and
I'd like to hopefully prolong their little lives.
Sending good wishes for you all,
Gloria

This alst week has been the worst for me, I have three cats,
Flower Petal and Thorne. Last thursday we had to put Thorne to
sleep she was diagnosed with felv and lymphoma, she was barley a
year old. Yesterday we were told that Petal is positive and FLower
is negative. I have placed Flower in my father home for now. My
concern is for Petal, she is 5 years old and the vet said she is
healthy but positive. The vet told for now all we do is wait and
retest in six weeks but I feel I should be doing more. I sorry ot
say I didnt know much about Felv till now but I am so confused. so
for this is the only palce I found for help.
