It's OK Karen. We all panic when our not-so-normal cats get sick because we

If your Vet knows you are treating, could s/he simply provide a prescription? Mine does, either writes it so I can shop it around, or for some, calls in for the $4 and free pharmacy deals.

Hi Chris,
It's very possible to make your own cat food, and I have/do. It isn't as simple as chicken + a cat vitamin, but it isn't that difficult either. Google "Home prepared cat food" and start reading recipes. I use no grain and very few (if any) veggies and fruits. Essential
Oh, my poor Vet. Thank you so much for that link, I will print it for her toay. I don't use AZT, but I use another anti-viral (famciclovir) with my FeLV cats when they have (what is probably) a herpes outbreak. One of the drugs, gemcitabine was planned for a cat I had with cancer.

Hi All,
So I am getting myself ready for the emergency situations, since the most
important thing with felv cats is not to let them get sick. I am wondering what
exactly do I need? So far I've got on my list: scale to monitor their weight,
thermometer, antibiotics (in case i see any scratches
I've given Ember a product called Liquid DMG off and on. Vetri Science seems to
be a reliable company, and I don't believe there's a risk of side effects. You
might want to discuss this with a holistic vet in your area.
Everything you mention is great to have. I don't think you'll need much else
I see that I wrote "beware" where I meant "be aware".
A few options you may want to discuss with a holistic vet:
Thorne Research - Immugen
Atlas World - Agaricus Bio for Dogs and Cats
4Life - Transfer Factor Plus
You wouldn't necessarily want them on all of that at the same time, but those

L-Lysine is good, also. I cc twice per day. I usually only use it when they get
sick, like my cat with the URI, but some people use it every day. It doesn't
taste bad. It also comes in a powder you can sprinkle on their food.

I've used Transfer Factor Plus Tri Factor for FeLV+ cats for several years.
It's the best immune booster I've tried. Also, I use the Agaricus Blazeii.
Although all of the FeLV+ cats that I've taken in have come very ill and
emaciated, once all the infections are treated and their immune system

I use Lysine as well, to keep herpes infection at bay. 250 mgs per cat, twice a day(in food) for prevention, 500 for an outbreak. I don't think it helps with much other that herpes, but it's on my can't-hurt-might-help list :)

My cats two "actives" are on Interferon Alfa, DMG and Lysine. My cats in general have their own well stocked medicine cabinet, but it isn't all used for the FeLV cats. I have used Lactated Ringers, lines and needles to give fluids, injectible and oral B-12 and B Co
Hi Kasia,
.I forgot to mention ImmunoRegulin. I have that at my Vet's, should we decide to try it. It is discussed on the website, and is actually available OTC. The catch is that it needs to be given IV, which is tough to do at home. You might check into that, as well.

Hi Lee,
I have Clavamox in 250 mgs and 375 mgs, as well as the 62.5 mgs that are for the cats. Augmentin seems to be 250, 500, and 875. I can figure that :)

You can get L-Lysine pills, but they also make a gel - Viralys, that is really
easy to administer.
L-Lysine can help boost the immune system & also helps treat stomatitis, which
is very prevalent in FeLV cats.
