Jenny,

I am sorry to hear about your situation. I had a very ill felv cat that weighted less than 4 pounds when I got her and was severely anemic. An alternative vet that I saw suggested something for the anemia - anem-o-aid I belive, I will look when I get home.

Initially, she received a blood transfusion and was on steroids/ antibiotics for a time and I force fed her for two weeks. Eventually, she improved and gained 2 lbs. Unfortunately, she became severely anemic again and stoutly refused to eat. She quickly went downhill and I had to let her go at that point. Anyway, it is helpful to know if she is having a hemolytic anemia as this can sometimes be stopped with steroids and specific antibiotics. You can generally diagnose this on smear of blood under the microscope.

The holistic vet also prescribed Wei Qi booster to boost the immune system. I have also heard of something called Acemannan (Carrisyn) and am currently working on finding more information about it. I will keep you informed of whatever I can. Good luck and God bless.

Jennifer, have you consulted a vet who knows more about FeLV?  That
could be crucial in Mr. Darcy's treatment.  You can just call vets in
your local area and ask if they are knowledgeable about FeLV, and if so
make an appointment with one of them and get him checked out.  If
nothing else, you'd be more sure about where Mr. Darcy stands.  Good
luck to you and "eat something!" vibes to Mr. Darcy. I love his name!

Hello all,

I have a three year old cat, Mr. Darcy that is Felv+ and is in the last stages of his disease as best as the vet and I can tell. He was symptom
free (we didn't know that he was Felv+until then) until 6 months ago
when he snuck outside and contracted an URI. He was tested for Felv + and
it was positive. After we got rid of the URI he still was symptomatic
and anemic, so we knew he was definetly in one of the later stages of
his leukemia.

We've had him on Interferon, which seems to help him slightly and he's
now on it everyday. We also have been giving him Science Diet A/D to
help give him calories and bring some weight back on him, he's only at 7
lbs 5 oz, which is not good.

He's stopped eating the A/D so we are starting to assist feed him at
night.  Anything we can do to help him would be great.  Is there a
website with information on this LTCI and where can you get it. Our vet
isn't up on everything leukemia/Felv, so she doesn't know much.

Thanks so much!
