You've gotten good advice to see a vet. Both of my FeLV cats developed lymphoma at an early age with the symptoms you describe. They both receive chemo (one for 20 months and the other for 3) and both are doing well. It is a scary diagnosis, but just wanted you up know that if it is what your kitty has, there may be hope!
