I'm so sorry about your kitty. He's so fortunate to have you both to
love and care for him. I have had double positives get in bad shape
like this, although I can't quote the blood parameters. They haven't
survived - once they get in bad shape it's hard to come out of it.
Doesn't mean he can't of course. As I recall, the last one, B.B., I
brought home and gave him fluids and syringed him liquid food, tried
various remedies both allopathic and homeopathic, but essentially he
just drifted away.
Best of luck, thanks for writing.

Hi everyone
Miles, a 6 year-old cat positive for FIV and FeLV, is in a very poor
condition and has now been admited to the vet hospital. He was not
eating, he vomited and is dehidrated. Miles was a stray cat I took
in 2,5 years ago. He stayed with me until December '08 when he was
adopted by Joana. Throughtout these years he has always been a very
healthy cat.
Two weeks ago Joana took him for his vaccines and blood tests. The
vet did not vaccinated him because he relies on a 2-year period for
vaccination and took his blood for testing. Then he left for
holidays and said nothing to Joana about the tests' results.
Joana was away for the week-end of 15th -16th and when she got back,
Miles did not eat much. On Monday he did not eat at all, he drank a
lot of water and urinated a lot, also. Yesterday he vomited and
Joana took him to the vet hospital. She rang the other vet's clinic
for the tests' results and surprisingly ALT values were almost 10
times the maximum.
At the hospital, blood tests were again done, liver parameters were
sky high (so much so that some of them did not show up). He is
anemic and jaundiced. The ultra-sound did not reveal much.
He is now having fluids and antibiotics. The prognosis is bad.
Do you have something to share on similar conditions of positive cats?
Thanks very much
