Hi Laura, I apologize for not posting to you sooner; I am having a hard time keeping up with posts right now. Welcome to our group. It's a great group and I know you will find support here. I'm sorry to hear Newbie tested positive, but as others have said, it's not a death sentence. I'm sorry to hear about your previous kitty; I know that had to be hard. Belinda's Bailey was our "poster child" as he was one of the oldest we've seen with FeLV. There is hope and we're learning new things all the time.
I feed my furbabies Innova Evo dry and wet, and from the research I've done, it's one of the best. I was using Hill's also up until the beginning of this year because I didn't know any better. Cats can't process grains (they are just fillers), which is the main ingredient for most cat foods. It took a while for my kitties to take to it though. It has to be mixed in slowly if they aren't used to it, although some might take to it right away. As far as supplements go, Vitamin C (a lot of people use Mega C) and Lysine are what some people use. Some people also keep their kitties on Interferon, but I don't know much about it. :) Wendy P.S. I would find a new vet if you can. One that supports FeLV positives and also will be open to trying new treatments that aren't mainstream. This will come in handy if your Newbie doesn't throw off the virus, which he may. It happens in about 30% of the cases with kittens (and even sometimes with older cats-we had one or two here), if I'm quoting my numbers right. Also, are you on the yahoo hyper-T group? I think I've seen psychotheboss email addy before, and I think that's where I saw it. :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
