Many vets opt out. They know the pain and expense to the families involved and may not understand the joys involved in giving a little one a loving, safe home.even if it is for a little while. If you have to argue the point and if he is in no apparent pain perhaps changing vets, or at least c

Gloria, Thanks for that 2c. I got the feeling the vet was leaning towards euth'sia and I didn't want to argue the point when I don't really know what I'm talking about. Janine --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Regarding Emmet, My guess would be that's not > necessarily so (that he's > dying)

Regarding Emmet, My guess would be that's not necessarily so (that he's dying). Could be fighting it off. They can do that. Could be fighting something else off, like a uri. Or on the other hand would be developing lymphoma. WOuld require a vet check. Might start giving him interferon Al

Our website is www.adoptapet.org - we have a ways to go with the site, but if you take a look, Emmet, the positive kitten with the swollen glands, is on our home page. Even tho he's been placed, the picture is so cute we thought it might help people realize positive cats need homes too. Janine

Yes, she tested positive with the IFA test. We are primarily a small TNR group and don't always test, but she was so thin and run down, we had her tested. The other adults looked OK. Many of the 14 kittens, positive and negative, had health issues, which we're getting through. We are base

There are lots of cats I know of that need to be relocated somewhere but I really can't take them all. I already have too many in my yard (and enough under my bed) but I'm looking more to address the caretaker's fear that she will get sick again while outside, and be impossible to find or trap.

where are you located? There are some groups that will take feral positive cats. You could probably work with her too to socialize her, although it would take months. Also, swollen glands don't necessarily mean the end. Some FELV pos cats have swollen glands all the time, some non positive cats
