Gums and teeth are impacted greatly by immuno depressive viruses. GNC has the vegetarian formula that is powder in capsules, open capsule and sprinkle/mix into food (tasteless!). Use between 30-50 mg daily. I have been using CoQ10 for years, and have dealt mostly with FIV+ cats, and only a few FeLV+ cats…it kept them in great shape for a long time.l Natalie From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Beth Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 9:27 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] new to the group So sorry about Daisy. I had a brother & sister FeLV positive. I lost the sister about a year ago to lymphoma, but the brother is doing well, so every cat is different in how they react to this virus. I don't do anything special except feed them well. They get Blue Buffalo dry food. You can give interferon as a preventative.L-Lysine can be sprinkled on their food. My feeling is if it doesn't stress them out to give them a supplement then do it. But if you have to chase them down to give them something, you are stressing them out & doing more harm than good. I don't go through any heroic measures. The one time I did that it broke my heart because I put the cat through so much needless pain at the end. That being said, some people here do, & it works out. It is a personal choice. BTW this is Feline Leukemia (FeLV) not Leukemia. They are totally different. I had a friend with a cat who had Leukemia.

Not exactly sure with Daisy as it all happened so quickly. The vet ran what I assume was the ELISA, as she was dying. He did not do the IFA. I am interested in seeing how I can make Oliver's life as full of a life as it can be. I was told that he has leukemia. I can confirm that with the vet when we go over treatment tomorrow. -----Original Message----- From: GRAS <g...@optonline.net> To: felvtalk <felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> Sent: Thu, Dec 29, 2011 1:23 pm Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] new to the group There is a difference between leukemia and Feline Leukemia Virus; which did Daisy have? I’ve had cats with either one. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://fusion2.fusionhost.com/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
