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.

Last week, we took in a darling tortie/calico kitten who'd been abandoned at
my workplace.  At her first vet check today, we got the results that she's
FeLV+.  We have two other cats that are positive.

I would appreciate any tips on how to get this little girl off to the
healthiest start possible.  We're feeding high protein kitten foods already.
 Our other cats are doing well at ages 4 and 1 year, but we'd love to learn
anything we can to help our newest 'patient' stay healthy and happy.

Thanks,
Jody

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.

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?

Diane R.
