Re: [Felvtalk] New Kitten is FeLV+
Jody, sounds like you already have a good handle on how to care for a positive kitty. Whatever supplements you are using for your adult kitties would probably help the new kitty. As others have already said love is the best medicine. It is a blessing that she was abandoned where you would find her. She now has a caring home.

Re: [Felvtalk] New Kitten is FeLV+
You will receive lots of really good advise here. The best thing I can tell you is to find an alternative/holistic vet to help you. The first stop I made after finding out that Dixie was positive was to Dr. Betty Boswell in Louisville. Dixie saw her frequently and I credit the alliance between Dr. Boswell and my regular vets, Drs. Koehler and Bishop, with giving Dixie a wonderful, healthy life. Do not treat your little one as a patient but as a wonderful kitten who will have a great life. No one is guaranteed one minute of life. Make her life great and your life with her wonderful and forget about how long or short it may be.

Re: [Felvtalk] New Kitten is FeLV+
Hi, Jody -- Sounds like you're doing great already with your others! Brava! Since you're experience in FeLV, you've probably already heard some of the suggestions. You're already doing good food -- can't hurt to supplement with L-lysine, the pure kind from the health food store rather than the "human" kind from the drugstore which has kitty-hostile additives. And of course, keep stress as minimal as possible. Others will have more suggestions, I know. Oh, and of course you'll probably want to retest in a while, just in case. Best of luck with your new little girl, and the two others. What are all their names?
