I am just about 5 miles outside from Martinsburg. My vets are Shenandoah Veterinary Hospital, here is their website--they are general vets, but have worked with me (w/o ever making feel like it was useless or a waste of time to let my FeLV+ cats/kittens live. I have a (negative) cat w/lymphoma and they referred me to vets in Gaithersburg, (VCA/VRC).
Right now I have 4 FeLV+--two tiny girls who had it as kittens and are probably 5 and 6 and very healthy, although small. I have another rescue from DC who is an adult male and he is very "pink" and healthy but has other issues (entropia), and a former farm tomcat who was diagnosed when I took him off a farm for a terrible URI--he came in all snotty and weighing 16 lbs--he was diagnoses positive so he never went back to the farm (he was not my cat--to start) and now he weighs in around 22 lbs! http://www.wvvethospital.com/ (my vets--Dr. Niamatali is esp. good to work w/re: the FeLV+ cats) here are the Gaithersburg vets (they have been wonderful with my "cancer cat") http://www.vcavra.com/ Tracy ----- Original Message ----- From: Marissa Johnson To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: 3/20/2007 8:02:40 PM Subject: RE: FeLV Supportive Vets in DC Area?

There is a lady I know in DC that might be able to help you, too, I will try to contact her.

Does anyone know of any vets who are supportive with FeLV + cats in the DC metro area (or Baltimore area)? The vet I've been working with doesn't think we should try IR or anything else. I'm tempted to get it and give it subq myself, but...that's probably not the best idea. I've got a call in to the oncologist at the hospital and to my regular vet. But I thought I'd see if anyone knows of any especially good vets in my area. Thanks!! MJ No need to miss a message. Get email on-the-go with Yahoo! Mail for Mobile. Get started.
