I am craving support and helpful advice please help !!
have a number of questions different areas.
One,
Has anyone heard of enlarged salivary glands, in
conjunction with FLV ?
Our cat had needle aspirate samples sent to a
pathologist and he was stumped, there was no cancer
and the combo of things in it was 'bizarre' he said.
But we wouldn't know for sure without a biopsy.
Two.
Vet is concerned with no real change in his demeanour,
eating, and his liquid stool.
symptoms
Meanwhile, the gut feels like there are enlarged lymph
nodes there.
He has had a reduction in the neck swelling with
prednisone.
I can get him to be a bit interested in lapping
liquid, and he likes water. No solid food tho.
I give him a liver shake, and his regular raw food
diet with supps like Respond, Moducare, probiotics, c,
e, sometimes nutrigest, slippery elm, colostrum.
While still on atbx for long campylobacter infection,
he tested inhouse positive for FLV. I personally
wonder if he's positive due to illness and stress of
campylobacter. It took us weeks to get the right
antbx, so he went thru that for a long time between
tests and vets without the azythromycin.
I am at a loss what to do and vet is saying we're in a
difficult situation, with contradcitory approaches; if
he has surgery to do biopsies we're conerned he'll not
be able to cope after and heal.
This vet tho has advanced training in chinese herb
approach and treatment.
Can anyone comment or advise any of this ??
Thanks so much
Lynne
