Maya, I don’t think it is cancer. My guess would be that he is reacting to some infection. As others have said, it isn’t necessarily FeLV – it could be another infectious agent, but it is consistent with what you often see with FeLV.
Did you ever get him on the Winstrol?

His temperature is good, and his WBC count has rebounded a bit, but hes RBC count has gone slightly anemic now. He's still acting relatively normal, more drowsy than when he was healthy, and less of an appetite, but he is still eating on his own. It's so hard to watch, I'm just desperately hoping his body fights back, but either way we will keep him comfortable and happy as long as possible.

Should I be worried, or is this a good sign? _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org<mailto:Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org<mailto:Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org -- Maya D'Alessio PhD student B1 377B, x32320 Graduate Studies Endowment Fund Coordinator Biology GSA Vice Chair GSA Director At-Large University of Waterloo
