Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ FIV+ cat with liver problems
The vets are giving him fluids, antibiotics and, they told me yesterday evening, starting to force feed him. I thank very much all the support and tips to investigate further into what Miles has. I also believe the disease may have nothing to do with FeLV, although being FeLV+ does not help. Now I am going to read the info you kindly gave me.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ FIV+ cat with liver problems
I thank you for your answers and I sympathize with your losses. I am very fond of Miles, as you may imagine. As Joana is. As far as I understand, they are not trying yet to force feed him. He is not having food by himself though. The vet told me Miles was on fluids so that he does not vomit. But temperature dropped to 36.9 C. The vet told us yesterday Miles had colhepatitis (a disease with a big name) not hepatic lipidosis... ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

[Felvtalk] FeLV+ FIV+ cat with liver problems
Hi everyone Miles, a 6 year-old cat positive for FIV and FeLV, is in a very poor condition and has now been admited to the vet hospital. He was not eating, he vomited and is dehidrated. Miles was a stray cat I took in 2,5 years ago. He stayed with me until December '08 when he was adopted by Joana. Throughtout these years he has always been a very healthy cat. Two weeks ago Joana took him for his vaccines and blood tests. The vet did not vaccinated him because he relies on a 2-year period for vaccination and took his blood for testing. Then he left for holidays and said nothing to Joana about the tests' results. Joana was away for the week-end of 15th -16th and when she got back, Miles did not eat much. On Monday he did not eat at all, he drank a lot of water and urinated a lot, also. Yesterday he vomited and Joana took him to the vet hospital. She rang the other vet's clinic for the tests' results and surprisingly ALT values were almost 10 times the maximum. At the hospital, blood tests were again done, liver parameters were sky high (so much so that some of them did not show up). He is anemic and jaundiced. The ultra-sound did not reveal much. He is now having fluids and antibiotics. The prognosis is bad. Do you have something to share on similar conditions of positive cats?
