Re: [Felvtalk] (no subject) for Sally
Sally, that is so encouraging that he WANTS the food. That is great. Please check out the link suggested in earlier emails today with subject assisted feeding. It is important for Lukey to get the same amount of food via syringe that he ate before getting sick. You want to avoid liver failure. Please keep us posted. Lukey is lucky to have you.

I heard from Jenny via e-mail after she called and I wasn't home. At her suggestion, I bought some A/D and Gatorade and have begun to force feed Lukey. He took right to the food like he was grateful to have it and I will be giving him some Gatorade later tonight and then feeding again even later. I got about 1/3 of a can of A/D down him via syringe, which I thought was pretty good for a first effort. He is getting thinner and weaker while we wait on the shot to kick in but on Saturday he was not yet severely anemic, so hopefully I have some time. We'll know tomorrow when I take him back to the vet, which he will certainly hate. At least she can rehydrate him and maybe check him again for lymphocyte and RBC count. Anyway, God bless you and all of the others who post here in an effort to help others. I appreciate it very much.

I am treating one of my FeLV boys right now who is not eating and has been hospitalized for a few days with low lymphocyte count and mild anemia.

My vet doesn't open again until Tuesday and I am worried. I am preparing to buy the Acemannan, which I presume is a similar product to Ambrotose, but I would really love to speak with Jenny about the transfusion process and what Autumn's state was before the transfusion and how she responded. I apologize if this is the wrong way to go about this but again, this is all new to me. My Lukey boy is my first FeLV cat to become sick and it came up so suddenly that it has thrown us for a loop. We are beyond heart sick and desperate to help me in any additional ways such as transfusion, etc. Thanks.
