I have had Samantha for i year. I just found out that she has leukemia.
She has red irritated gums and is losing weight. I have 4 other cats
that have not contacted the disease. When I adopted her, I was assured
she was felv negative. I love her very much and I am researching the web
to get info
I am saying many prayers for your baby.

I take the cat's temps rectally and find that they normally don't mind as long as it's well lubed and they are relaxed (I use KY for it, but have used butter in a pinch - not as good).

Terri is correct. FIP is a mutation in the Corona
virus to a lethal form. Almost all cats have Corona
virus,and at this point in time, on one can predict
which cat will develop FIP.
The screening is virtually useless IMHO. All it
does
Other questions might be:
Is she positive for both tests? How old is she? How old are the other
cats? Any health issues with them that would preclude vaccination?
Have they been tested recently? Is she strictly indoor cat, or

Nina, the vet did a blood test because she was so thin and she isn't

that there is
The vet did a blood test and said that it came back negative for FIP but
positive for Feline leukemia. They did a more comprehensive blood test
and they said her bone marrow and cbc was normal. I don't know what it
means exactly, but hopefully it means her disease is not that
unmanageable.

Hey Nancy,
I want to clarify that although many of us feel that
we are fairly safe mixing (especially since most of us
had already exposed the other cats beforehand), there
is not enough research on FeLV, so we don't really
know how it is exactly transmitted, or how easily it
is transmitted.
Keep this vet. He(she) sounds like a good one b/c he
doesn't automatically say to pts for FeLV.

That's my approach. As I understand, an adult cat with a healthy immune
