Hi Wendy
Sounds like you have everything well under control. I think that the fact that
he was put on four weeks of Doxy for the Bartonella will also help for FeLV,
though my sense is that I would have kept him on it for another two weeks.
Just keep an eye for any signs of anemia. Keep checking his gums, the inside of
his ears and his pads. You say his blood work is perfect. Are his reticulocytes
okay? These are immature red blood cells and they will be depressed with FeLV.
As long as his haematocrit, haemoglobin and reticulocyte counts are good, you
are fine.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Help please - felv positive kitten
Hello,
We rescued a stray kitten, and he is felv positive. He is approximately 9
months old. He is quarantined. His blood work is perfect. He is not
exhibiting any other felv symptoms. We treated him for giardia, and tests show
he is cured of that. We treated him with doxycycline for 4 weeks for
bartonella, and he is due to get retested for bartonella at the end of this
month. We are giving him rx zyme, rx biotic, and rx essentials in the morning,
and 1/2 moducare vet in the evening. We also are giving him organic grain free
food.
Can anyone recommend a vet who specializes in felv treatment in Ventura County,
CA, in Southern California, or elsewhere in California? I called UC Davis, as
we’d be willing to take our cat to Northern California, but no one has returned
the calls. Our local vet admittedly does not treat felv, and we want the best
for our little cat. From reading in this group, it seems that our vet is not
on top of all of the tests and what those results mean.
Also, can anyone recommend any other treatments that we should add or change at
this point?
Thank you,
Wendy
