Please forgive my ignorance - but I am new to the list. I hear a lot
about giving supplements to cats - vitamin C, in particular. What is the
benefit of this for FeVL+ cats? Since cats, unlike humans, synthesize and
produce their own vitamin C - are FeVL+ cats unable to continue to produce
I mix the mega C in wet food and no rescue has ever refused it

I've mixed it with gruel and dosed it with a syringe in the batch of FeLV kittens I have in rescue right now. Works like a charm. I probably won't bother even trying to mix with wet food and offer it to them free choice as I hate the idea of them refusing and seeing it go to waste.
Good luck!
Hi Ashleigh,
Maybe you could syringe dose her, mixing the Mega C in with broth or
spring water? I know nothing about the particulars. Hopefully someone
on the list has used this method before. Good luck to you and Bella.

I don't know what the recommended dosage is, but maybe you could get
some empty gel caps at the health food store and pill her? Have you had
to give her pills before? Some cats are easy and some, uh, not so easy
to pill. Just a thought. I was supplementing with vita C too, but it
didn't hav
Sorry my cats haven't refused it, wish I could help.

Hi Maggie,
I think you made the right decision in keeping Izzie
and Lucy together. A stress-free environment is one
of the two biggest things you can do to combat FeLV.
The other is a high quality diet, including
supplements like L-lysine and Vitamin C for the immune
system. ImmunoRegulin may h

Ha! You sound like so many of us on this list! I'm glad that your

Don't know if anyone answered you but yes the test results could
definitely change in several months. The in house test is not 100%
accurate, if you get a positive in house test I would wait atleast 3
months and retest using an IFA or PCR test, they are better tests. Also

Oh Beth! Such good news on the four that tested neg!! You really are
blessed. You talked about "surgery", so I assumed you meant the Momma

Hello, Nina and Lance thank you so much for your encouragement, it is a much better day today. The four kittens were all FeLV Neg. They get retested in a month, but so far, so good. Little Alice should get her IFA results back later this week, she is staying with my in laws for now, has ne

I just wanted to tell you how thrilled I am that Smokey is doing so
well! I can guess how you're feeling about taking a "vacation" away

I'm sorry Ember is still having some problems. If she has a delicate

I definitely would NOT keep her on antibiotics once
the infection has cleared. Continuous use of antibiotics destroys an
immune system, leads to resistance making these sweeties far too susceptible to
future infections.
