I've never been a cat person but 3 and 1/2 years ago a kitten showed up and wouldn't leave. We fell in love with him took him to the vet and he was FeLV+. The vet said put him down but I couldn't. We took him to the University of Auburn's animal hospital for scans and to confirm. They confirmed and said he would have a low quality of life.
Fast forward 3 years he was NEVER sick. Last week without warning he started throwing up and wouldn't eat. He was very lethargic. Took him to the vet and his WBC was only 200 and Red was 26.1% calcium was high so she sent us back to Auburn thinking it was cancer. After every test imaginable bone marrow only shows FeLV no cancer. He is still producing wbc but no red..... They sent us home with no treatment options only antibiotics.
He is weak, breathing rapidly but he still is fighting, he drinks uses his litter box jumps in the bed etc. I do have to syringe feed him AR. Anyone have luck with blood transfusions or steroids? I can't give up on him....It's too hard and he is trying so hard to stay with us.. ....This disease is so cruel......
