Well, it sounds like the vet tested him for felv and he was pos.
Was he suffering?
Is this why the vet decided to euth?
Because even if they are "symptomatic", they can still have a good quality of
life being felv+.
And yes, you should get your other 2 kitties "combo" tested, you need to know
what to expect.
But please, if they do test "pos" for felv, remember, they can live a good life
for quite some time, you just to help them along by boosting their little
immune systems.
Take each day as a precious gift, because that'swhat it is.
This list is set up for kitty mommies & daddies just like you, and there is a
wealth of good information here.
You will get more ideas than you will know what to do with, but you will be
able to figure out what works best for you, your cats & your living
arrangements........
One last note, if your vet decided to PTS because the cat was felv+ and sick,
but not "suffering" (to be determined as YOU see fit w/ your vet's
consultation).......it might be best to look for another vet that is more felv+
savvy.
Just my 2 cents,I could be wrong.

Dear Susan,
Thank you for your email. I think Boy had felv+. Everything happened so
fast last night that the only thing I heard was "Lukemia" and euth. I have two
other kitties that were/are raised with Boy. The Vet says they should be
checked. Why do this if the cancer is untreatable? I don't know if I should
keep their appt. for today or not.

Dear Angela,
I am so sorry for your sudden loss.
Was it felv+ that you lost your kitty too?
Or some other type of cancer?
My prayers are w/ you today.
