Consider a holistic vet. EA Boswell in Louisville saw Dixie a lot and
I am very sure she improved my wonderful girl's quality of life. She
certainly lived longer and happier than anyone dared hope for.

just so they get some extra vitamins.

Heather, I rescued a pair of FeLV kittens. Sissy always had
enlarged
lymph nodes especially at her neck. Rocket never did. I tried
several
things but never helped. I feed her the highest quality food she
would eat
supplemented with L-lysine, B12, folic acid. I enjoyed 4 years
with my
sweet Sissy.
Love and treasure Squiggy every day. That really is the best
medicine.

My boy, Squiggy, was diagnosed with feline leukemia about 6 months
ago.
He
has stayed pretty healthy since, with just one secondary infection
that
was
treated with antibiotics. But the lymph nodes in his throat are
swollen
and
stay that way all the time, Sometimes they are larger than others
but
they
are always swollen. My vet doesn't seem concerned by this. She
just
says
it is a symptom of the FeLv. But it concerns me becasue that is
what
made
me take him to the vet 6 months ago. His lymph nodes were swollen
and he
was having trouble breathing. Has anyone else experienced this? Is
there
anything I can do for him diet or medication wise to decrease the
swelling?
He also has a licking issue. He will lick everything. But when I
had a
bloodwork check on him the vet said it looked good. That he was
just
slightly anemic but very good for a FeLv cat. I feed him wet food
in the
morning and add Lysine powder and Missing Link to it. Any other
recommendations? I would really appreciate any advice. He is
eating
well
and maintaining his weight but I want to stay as far ahead of the
disease
as
I can. I do some rescue work out of my house and lost a very young
kitten
to FeLv already. Squiggy was rescued from a chemical plant but
was such
a
standout sweet kitten that I couldn't bring myself to give him
up. Thank
you for your help.
