Hi, This is the first email I'm sending out since 1 of my cats got diagnosed with Felv yesterday. We have 7 other cats but THANK GOD every single one of them tested negative (snap/elisa). We have to have them tested again in 6 months. Do I have to wait that long or can we have them tested sooner? We separated Oreo from the rest of the cats and disinfected everything. Oreo will be lab tested again next week, just to make sure. I heard false-positives are quit common. Oreo got put on Clavamox 125 mg to fight the secondary infections. Is the dosage not to high for a cat? I know that cats normally get 62.5 mg. She threw up this morning after I gave it to her. I will call the vet tomorrow and ask the vet about the dosage and if she can maybe subscribe injections. I hate to have to fight with her every time I have to give her her meds. Makes me feel so guilty to do this to her. She has no clue why she has to sit in a seperate room by herself :-( She also gets pet-tinic and viralys. What else can I do to help her fight of this infection. She has a cold and a fever.
If she tests positive again next week, we are forced to find a new home for her. Maybe somebody who has no other cats, or someone who has 1 or more cats with the same condition. I was wondering if anyone knows of anybody who might be able to take her. We are willing to help pay for the medications she might need. She is such a sweet cat and I'm heart broken about this situations! My cats are my everything!
